The Saturday session of the Primit ive Methodist conference was opened at 0 a. m. with devotional exercises led by Thomas Hooper. After roll call and the reading and adoption of the min utes of tho previous session, the" final report of the special committee on the Nlles and Youngstown church matters was read. The recommendations of fered by the committee evoked some lively discussion. It had been recom mended that the Nlles church be rented to the school district of that place, but his action was considered by many to bo a profaning of the house of God. This brought the Hon. Robert Dudley of Irwin, to his feet with the declara tion that a, church had been rented for tho uses of a "profane legislature." "Why then," eald Hon. Dudley, "should wei.-ot rent our church edifice for Bchool purposes." It was decided to follow out the recommendation as the confer ence would lose the church duo to the reverting clause In the lease If the edi fice was not used.

Further we look upon the con duct of such people as tending to paralyze trade, destroy our Industries, ruin our homes and demoralize our young people. AVe designate tho rum tralllc as the great est and gravest evil of modern times. Therofore be It resolved ADVISE TOTAL ABSTINENCE. First, That as a body we strongly dis approve the uso of Intoxicants as a bev erage and that we especially urgo all Christian communicants to become total abstainers, and to co-operate with us In a determined attempt to abolish this In fernal business. Second, That wo call upon all sensible and Intelligent people, to aid us In every possible way In spreading the temperance movement In general, and thus help savo tho youths of our land from acquiring tho pernicious habit of moderate drinking. Third, That wo seek tho aid of. all cor porate bodies, municipal and otherwise, to help along this grand movement by looking for and employing sobor and In dustrious men to till all vac-ancles within their Jurisdiction. Fourth, That wo call upon all Christian .peoplo Irrespective of creed "to seek mer cies from tho God of heaven" In order that success may attend every earnest en deavor along tho lino of temperance.
