present law. Uutil this day dawns
in all its brilliance we commend the
christian people of Somerset county
for the positive stand they have
taken against this dread enemy. The
temperance question is one of the
burning questions of the day. ‘‘Right-
eousness exalteth a nation.” We
are glad that our people are battling
conscientiously for righteousness and
we therefore urge all 8. 8. workers
to direct every honorable effort to
secure the entire prohihition of the
liquor traffic.
That wt regret that so many of the
delegates to this convention, who
attended and took part in the ear-
lier sessions, did not find it conven-
ient to remain for the final session.
That we accept the hearty invita-
tion extended by Amity congrega-
tion, of Meyersdale, for the annual
meeting next year, and we suggest
the time of meeting as Wednesday
evening and Thursday.
That we the delegates to this the
21st annual classical Sunday school

hospitality and pray the Sunday
school and church work may con-
tinue to be carried on effectively in
their midst.

MEYERSDALE DEFEATED
MIDLAND.
The Midland base ball team came
to Meyersdale on Saturday to main-
tain its reputation and while the
team seems a classy one, and may be
able to assert its mastery over the
George’s Creek, Meyersdale proved
to be its master on Saturday after-
noon amidst most unfavorable weath-
er conditions. Shower followed show-
er and with the exception of a few
intermissions the game was played
throughout the rain for the nine
innings. The game started as if it
would prove one of the best ever
seen in Meyersdale. Both teams
were blanked in the first inning.
The visitors scored one run in the
second inning and tallied three runs
in the fourth while the home team
had not been able to cross the plate,
but in the last half of the fourth in-
ning something happened and before
the inning was finished the home team
had made five runs. In the fifth the
home team added two more runs. In
the sixth Midland added another run.
The final score was:
Midland ................. ........... .»
Meyersdale............... «.ivcencerivnninees
The visitors used three pitchers
while Johnny Stafford, stuck to his
job throughout the game. Consider-
ing the condition of the ball, the
pitching was of a high order, and the
playing was most creditable. We
imagine that a #am to be defeated
by a team the calibre of the Midland
team is no disgrace and to defeat
such a team is a most creditable
the Home and the Community—Oscar work. The attendance was not as
[large as the friends of the team hoped
| for, but the business places of town
«| are at that hour in the midst of their
| business rush and the inclemency of
| the weather also interfered with the
attendance.
