The Committee on Temperance made Its re
von. which closes with the following reso
lutions:
1. That In view of tbe fact that sworn returns
uf retail dealers of these soul-destroying liquors
reaches tbe enormous sum of one taousand
Jour hundred and elgbty-three millions of
dollars, and of the vast amount of suffering and
distress consequent upon me irauiu meroia,
o vabt and extensive as to have no money
value, it is the bounden duty of every man
engaged in the extension of the Redeemer's
Aingauin on eartn to use an me taieuis. witti
. which his Creator has endowed him. and all
the time that cun be spared from other duties
as a Christian minister, in endeavoring to ele
vate publlo sentiment to a point I hat snail re
card this traffic lu its trne Huh t. and those en
gaged therein as enemies of their race and of
uou.
a. That while we ball with delight the sncoesa
Vhleh has attended the various organizations
independent of the Church of Christ in the
Rlorious work, we are more than ever con
vlBcod that these associations cannot do tbe
work that is ours, hence, as the lovers of the
souls of men, every believer in Christ should be
active uy engaged in tnis retortn
3. Tltat lu the judgment of this Conference
-very ,ti ember in full fellowshlD In tbe Metho

General Rules, is thereby pledged to total absti

rase. i. That the safe and scriptural ground for
Christian people to oocupy is total abstinence
urom an vnat intoxicates.
6. That, the highest medloal and scientific
aulhorlll'M of the world have demonstrated
that alco hol Is never a nutriment, but always
a poison, and the moderate use of intoxluuiug

. Ti a the sin of moderate drinking is shown
in lhe;fact that there oould be no drunkards if
there w era bo moderate drinkers, and that all

liquors t o be sold to a drunkard; benoe If all

duty to which he was appointed at toe last
session. W. regret that oar epaoe compels ns
to prent only the following abstract:
Text Isaiah xl, 8 "For tbe earth shall be full
of th. knowledge of the Lord as the waters
cover the sea."
lie alluded to general suppositions of a
corulcg reign of peaoe aud virtue upon earth;
man made upright, fell; Uod, compassionate,
provided for bis restoration; re-creation in
God's Image; two ideas or the Bible sin and
redemption: fin an active foroe, destroying
man; redemption au opposing force; tbe Bible
declares the triumph of redemption; the ser
pent sin shall be crushed, in this triumph, by
the ceed of the woman; this the declaration of
the entire Uorlptures.
This was partially fulfilled when C'brl'it Mm
menced his ministry, in the overthrow of
JudaiMm, and continued in the work of the
Apostles. He would not dlnonss the mlllendlum
the temporal reign of Christ but comment
npon this proposition.
The religion of our Lord Jesus Christ is to
triumph over all opposition, and a reign of
universal rlghtennsness obtain. The houtheu
shall be enlightened, elevated, and saved.
The grounds of this Mippositlon. Notwith
standing evil In men, there is within man a
moral constitution ho has a moral nature.
Morality is. in lact. recoKiii.ed bv all thoorins!
men lnslttt on right and Justice lu opposit ion to
personal wiong Miid Injury. Morality in the
one great aim oi child-culture; virtue is the one
great requirement, even above houor and
e very tbl rift else.
ah artisiN nave a pvtce for their work, but
Wlint is the price of vir'. ueT Wnmn hivnnnr
ccoloi" in alt thing else, out have uo choice in
regnro io vice ana virtue to ciioowe vice wera
to incur self loathing. Morality stands lu the
rottd. to some extent, lu the Place of Uod.
Theory Is good, but facts are better. What are
tne facts in luinitueut of the theory of i he text?
virtue is onngai.ory t'pon every m-tn even
where there is 'no other unoh requirement of
men es thU: Vlr'ue has growth lu the koow
ledge of God; t he Divine graces strengthen and
bund up souls unto the likeness of God. Jf
molality may become dominant in our indi
vidual sonls, may it not in the aggregtte of
men ?
.Numerous Instances of complex advance
ment; families Improve; to do the same thing
for the whole human family is a greater las;
out, uoa in nor, siraiguienea concerning time
and can accomplish it. The agencies are the
same for i his aggregate result as for the Indi
vidual ana me iamny. Tne improvement
of morals among nations was referred to; the
elevation of tast. and morals of the present
was contrasted with the corruption of other
days in tbe great countries of Europe and Asia;
tho moral ruin of the Roman Empire, eto.
Would a gladiatorial display, such as pleased
the ladies of their time and nations, be
tolerated now? The bull tights of 8pain, eto.
The elevation ol woman was referred to. The
modern benevolent institutions, prison regula
tions, Ac, the rccogulilon of human rights
throughout the world, the opening up of the
nations, national oouitesies, China, Japan. &o.,
were noticed. It is said evil Is still predomi
nating, but these things appear greater as they
are seen in me greater iignt oi tne age.
Wars originate in honesty of purpose In
some men's minds. In our own recent war
the sentiment of right was the dominant one.
The rights of men oould not be denied. The
struggle originated iroui mis. uu tne part or
tbe Government It was for benevolence and
justice. The mitigations of war's horrors la
our war were reierrou. Tneunristianinnueuces
of the nation were carried into it and all
through It. War thus yields its testimony to
the advancement of tbe race. The result no
longer a slave coostltu'lon in the land. Men
have not only been emancipated, but the
nation, tbe Constitution, has been eman
cipated. The Pope is but waiting
when he Bhall be dethroned and justice
enthroned. The Papal inllueuoes wane.
JNotonly does Christianity work by impli
cation. The gospel is warring for universal
brotherhood. To wrong any man Is to war
against a brother. The command to love tby
neighbor as thyself Is God's requirement. The
elevation of tbe human race, however,
does not depend npon morality. There is a
spirituality which pervades, inspires, relnvlgo
rates, breathes air Into I he lungs of the dead eto
Pentecost was referred to. The inspired
Apobtles preacu, men were moved, and 300U
converted. The same power continues, and will
continue in the Church throughout time,
peradlng all the associations aud institutions
of Christianity, until It shall accomplish for the
world what it has accomplished for individuals.
The power that converted and endowed the
Apostles is able to accomplish anything
for tr e world. Tbe power of Uod can ac
complish anything; if it tame one man,
it can tame a thousand, or men
universally, if the influence of this power can
accompllsn the wo&deis which it has accom
plished, it can work on Indefinitely. The won
derful inventions of science will oonvert tbe
world physically, the telegraph, etc, preparing
men for toe recognition of nnlversal brolhur
hood. Hnuan wisdom has exhausted Itself,
and wicked system of philosophy are crying
make way for God's reign.
International law is making way; when tha
perfect age shall come it will Introduce a per
fectly Just system of international law. When
the kingdoms or this world shall have become
the kingdom or our God and his Christ, litera
ture will pure everything; else Dure. The re
sult will be a perfected earth, and earth itself
become a paradise, au minus certainly pro
claim the coming of the perfect age.
The sermon, which was delivered in the
Doctor's usual eloquent style, was listened
to throughout with the profoundest attention.
At its clcse a resolution was passed by a rising
vote requesting its Immediate publication,
and a ooiitfuitlee appointed to superintend lis
publication.
A communication on Church Extension was
preheuted, as followst

It was clear there was a majority of the caucus
in favor of suspension for lour years. Shortly

Morton, Kpraue, Grimes, and others left the
caucus, fir it tUUiig that they would not ite
bound by its action. After these gentlemen
had left it was thought expedient
not to press the mntter, and they agreed to ad

can carry their point In the caucus, utiles
those In favor of the ab;olute repeal 6hould per

of suspension may be deieated. It Is given out
by those who pretend to know the President'
mind, that he is opposed to the suspension of
this law, cither for a short or Ion period, and
this action of the Senate would not be satisfac

THE EX-F RESIDENT.
He Advises a Baud f (Undents to Stand
by tbe Constitution.
From the Charlottesville Chronicle, March 20.
President Johnson passed here Thursday, on
his way to his home in Tennessee. He was met
at Keswick by Mr. Samuel McKenueyof Tn
nestee, a student of the University, and induced
by him to make his appenrance ou tho porch of
the Central Hotel; thus giving us a Bight of a
live ex-Prcsidont, aud the pleasure of hearing
him make a speech. There was a very large
crowd of citizens and students assembled to
meet him aud testify their respect for the man,
and their approval of hie course as President of
the United Slates.
After his introduction the ex-President urged
tbe students to Btacd by the Constitution as the
only ark of political safely, and to cling to it as
the shipwrecked mariner In the night of storms
and tempests clings to the last plank. He said
that in returning to private life, he carried with
him the proud consciousness of having done
his duty; that he had struggled to maintain tbe
Constitution of our fathers; that he felt that he
had been true to his country, his conscience,
and his Uod, and that he was going home to
take his place among the ranks of his tcllow
citizens, and help them bear the burdens that
he has been unable to remove from their
shoulders, nad that in thus returning to private
lite, be could say from his heart, varying the
quotation slightly:
"Mors true joy Msrcetlus exiled feels
Tban Ciesar with a corrupt C'ougren at bis liesli."
He advised the youDg men to read and study
Addison's 'Cato;" that although it was a dry
play (in which opinion we do not agree), that
there was a stem virtue and patriotism per
vading tbe whole of it, which makes it one which
every student and patriot should read and study.
He insisted that something must be done to curb
the fanatical power of worthies raaorltics;
that minorities must be protected in their
rlghtu or the Oovernment must go to ruin.
He euid that ho hoped this could be dona, that
lie was going home to do all he could, and that
if he could do do more, following the advice of
Cato to his son, he could retire to his rural
homo, and there among his own groves would
pray for his country. He closed by again
thanking the crowd for their kind demonstra
tions of respect aud nyrproval, and wishing to
each and all the brightest blessing of Provi
deuce on ail Ihelr effcrta. Ha retired, amid the
Bhouts of tbe crowd, to the dining room of the
Central Hotel.where Mr. Bailey no doubt gave
him the best the country can afford.
