TO emphasize his repugnance to
bringing political or other foreign
matters into a religious body, Mr.:
Dancy adds: :
Il have never introduced the sub
1ect Of politics In any general con-
ference lever attended. indeed, my
chief aim has been to keep attention
directed to matters more nearly con-
nected with church work and church
probity: And yet, If the issue Is

did / mention politics, nor did any
other office holder. But politics were
introduced later, and the world
knows who introduced them"
The attitude Of Mr.. Dancy is that

political agent nor as an officer Of
the government, but as a minister of
the: gospel and president of an edu-
cattonal institution connected with
the A M. e. church. DR.. Vernon is
as bitterly opposed as Mr.. Dancy is
to- the introduction Of, politics into a
purely religious assembly, and will
resist all tendency i nthat direction
as far as his power lies. There is
absolutely no truth in the report that
MT Tyler will appear at either con-
ference, for any purpose, AS he Is not
a member Of either denomination
and has no official business to carry
him to Norfolk or Philadelphia at
this time. He has too high a con-
ceptien of the relation Of the church
to secular affairs to be party to an
attempt to SOW the seeds Of discord
where there should be harmony, and
where there are sufficient differences
on church polity to try the patience
OF the sWeetest-tempered, without

would be sure to detract from the

LABOR SERMON ON
LABELLED GOOD.
First of a Series by the Rev.
Charles Stelzle Presenting Every
Day Truths in Labor language.

Most of us wear label. 1t may
not be "A .'union" label, but it
more accurately indicates the CON
ditions under which we We're de
veloped than is sometimes possible
by other kinds of labels. The
United States government recently
has declared that every form of
prepared food aud patent drug
must be so plainly marked that
anyone may know it's principal
constituent parts. But more min
utely still is every man and woman
lebelled aud classified At any
rate. there are some folks who
knows about US, try to deceive
the world as we may. 1t is still
true that you can fool some of the
people all of the time, and all Of
the people some OF the time, but
you cannot tool all of the people
all Of the time.
Many workingmen who is ex-
tremely careful about having the
union label in his hat, forgets it is
far more important to have the
right kind of a label in his heart.
For ''as man thinketh in his
heart, SO is he.'' That's scripture,
and I've no doubt it's true. And
what man is. is pretty sure to be
revealed in his talk, his walk, his
hand, his face, his eyes, his life.
All thisi in man will make a
pretty good sized label, and you
don't have to dig down into his
of lift the band of his hat,
to tell what manner Of man he is.
