GEO. H. MOORE, Presiding Clerk. A resolution was also introduced by Milton Hansen and approved by the body dealing with the question of prohibition. It is in part as follows: Be it resolved. That we favor the nationalization ofMhis contest for prohibition in the utilization of all the forces at our command. However, to this end we would not minimize the necessity for nor postpone local action and whatever local relief, although partial In its efficiency, that may be obtained by state laws. As a local relief measure we demand of our Legislature the submission at a special election of a prohibitory constitutional amendment to he followed or preceded by statutory prohibition. . Furthermore, until such legislation can be obtained and as a temporary and partial measure only, we demand the restoration of our county local option law as It was before the last session substituted therefor the township and municipal option law now on our statute books. And to this end we will not support any man or measures that are not in harmony with the above declaration. Approved by Western Yearly Meeting Sept 15. 1911.

Prayer Meeting Tople Fee the Week Beginning Sept. 17, 1911. Topic Llvin Christ in the home. Eph. vt 1-1. Edited by Rev. Sherman H. Doyle, 0. D. Christ should be lived by the Christian in every relation of life. The Individual life should be adorned by the graces and virtues that characterized His own life, and la our various relations with those who are about us we should exemplify the teachings and principles of our religion. Bat If there Is one place above another where we need to hare emphasized the Importance of Jiving Christ it is In the home. In no social relation la life Is It easier to neglect the Christ life than in the home, and yet no sphere of life is more Important not only in Itself, but in Its bearing upon all the other relations of life. We should therefore earnestly pray for grace to live Christ In the borne. The home was a sacred place to Christ. In the gospels we have frequent pictures of Christ in the home and In every Instance His presence meant, helpfulness or comfort or spiritual blessing. His first miracle was performed In the home and Incidentally added to the peace of mind of His friends upon a festive occasion. To the home of death He brought great Joy by raising the dead, and to the home of sickness He did likewise by hen line the sick. His prayers In the home were a spiritual benediction, and nowhere do we have a better view of His loving character than in the interesting scenes in the home of His friend, especially in the home of Mary and Martha and Lazarus at Bethany. Frequently He was honored in the home, and we should honor nim in our homes by making them Bethels where He delights to dwell. To live Christ in the home we must cultivate the Christian graces that should adorn life in the home. Among these we may emphasize especially love and patience and self denial. Love should be manifested in the home. The great difficulty is not that love does not exist among those bound together by the tenderest natural ties, but that It is not manifested. Let some crisis come to a member of the family and how quickly the presence of love is demonstrated. But in the humdrum routine of life how easy it is to neglect the tokens of affection. But it should not be so. Loving words and deeds should hare a prominent place In every Christian home. Patience is also a needed home virtue. Where are we more impatient and yet where are patience and forbearance so much needed? The Christian spirit of self denial should also have a prominent place In the home life. Nor should it be too one sided. There Is too much of a tendency in all our homes for some to sacrifice too much and others too little. Parents and wives should not do all the sacrificing, nor should one brother or sister. Yet it is too often so. The good natured are imposed upon. There should be no imposition, but the true spirit of mutual self denial for the best Interests of all. To live Christ in the borne the Christian duties peculiar to the home life must be performed. Children should obey and honer their parents. The duty of training the children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and governing them In love and not in wrath devolves upon the parents and should be faithfully performed by them. The servants In the home should be faithful to their duties as if they were serving Christ, and the same spirit should characterize the attitude of the various members of the home toward servants. Workers in the heme should not be drudges, but should be treated with kindness and consideration. Let us cultivate these Christian home virtues and graces and faithfully perform the duties that devolve upon us in the home, and our homes, more frequent'j than they are, will be types of heaven, our eternal home. Let us 'learn first to show piety at home," and our influ ence for Christ will be all the greater outside the hone. BIBLE READINGS.

And who shall measure the part taken by Christian Endeavor in pushing the world along?

The failure of every society that has failed, so far as I knew, can be traced directly to a lack of the prayer meeting pledge. Francis E. Clark. FINED FOR ASSAULT Sam McCarthy, who was arrested Wednesday on the charge of assault and battery on Alex Batter, was found guilty of the offense and fined this morning in police court.

EXPERTS 111 GOVT ATTEND CONGRESS Representatives of Municipalities, Foreign and American to Meet.

(National News Association) CHICAGO, Cept. 16. Official representatives of municipalities in all parts of the United States and Canada and a few representing large cities in several foreign countries are gathering here to attend the International Municipal Congress and Exposition which will open at the Coliseum next Monday. The congress, as its name implies, of an international character, is planned upon a large scale and promises to be the largest and most instructive event of this kind ever held in this country. " Experts of worldwide fame and known ability in matters pertaining to municipal government will be in attendance at the congress and will deliver addresses on many subjects of vital interest to municipalities generally. This congress is considered the most comprehensive attempt ever made to bring together the most intelligent and capable educators in all lines of municipal endeavor. As to the exposition of municipal methods and systems, which will be held at the Coliseum during the two weeks of the congress, it is believed that by making possible comparisons between various communities with reference to their systems of government, their notable accomplishments in the past and their plans for the future, it will create a spirit of rivalry and civic pride that will do much for the advancement of municipal reform and betterment. Special Exhibitions. Many of the large cities of the Unit ed States have made special efforts and will be represented by special ex hibitions, giving a complete and highly instructive presentation of the organization of each municipality, its systems of administration, the scope and arrangement of its working plan, the methods employed to insure the greatest efficiency at the smallest cost and with the minimum of friction; the manner of keeping books and records, of collecting taxes and statistics and scores of . other matters of interest to every large or small municipality, be it in the United States, in the Dominion of Canada or in some country across the sea. The formal opening of the congress and of the exposition will be held next Monday noon at the Congress hall of the Coliseum. There will be addresses by John M. Ewen, chairman of the congress and of the exposition; John MacVickar, commissioner general of the congress; Harry A. Wheeler, president of the Chicago Association of Commerce; Mayor Carter H. Harrison of Chicago; Hon. Darius A. Brown, president of the League of American Municipalities and mayor of Kansas City, Mo.; Hon. William J. Gaynor, of New York city; Hon. John E. Heyburn, mayor of Philadelphia; and Hon. James Fitzgerald, mayor of Boston. During the session of the congress there will be general meetings every afternoon while every evening there will be displays of moving pictures to Illustrate talks on various American and European cities. The forenoons will be devoted to special department sessions which will be held in the First Regiment Armory. Subjects for Discussion. In accordance with the program for the two weeks of the congress one or more distinct subjects will come up for consideration and discussion at each of the meetings and experts and authorities on these subjects will present their views, as based upon their observations and experiences. Among the subjects thus to be considered will be City Charters; Municipal Accounting and Efficiency; The Business End of a City Government; City Planning; Paving; Public Utilities; Taxation; The City for the People; Control of the Milk Supply; Advertising Value of a Healthy City; Protection of Water and Disposal of Sewage; Police and Fire Service; Reduction of Fire Waste; Parks and Playgrounds; Building Codes; Public Schools; Public Libraries; Control of Sanitation and

The list of speakers scheduled to deliver addresses on various subjects under discussion includes many of the most noted and capable students and experts in the various branches of municipal activity, men whose names are known throughout this country and even far beyond the boundaries of the United States, wherever large cities are confronted with difficult municipal problems.

PRISONER RELEASED TO GET LEG REPAIRED UTICA, Sept. 16. Sheriff Becker, who allowed Sam Gutstadt, formerly a power in western New York politics, but now a prisoner in the local jail serving a sentence of one year for being implicated in the robbing of a patron of his resort of $1,000, to go to Rochester to have bis wooden leg repaired, is being severely criticised. Gutstadt accompanied by a deputy sheriff, went to Rochester on Sunday and returned here last night; but the fact that he had been away from the Jail did not leak out until today. Gutstadt's conviction several months ago followed a sensational trial and the feeling in this city against him has been intensely bitter because of the nature of the evidence adduced against him. Last night an attorney representing the man who had been robbed of $1,000 in Gutstadt's place went to the jail to serve papers on the latter in a civil action for $850. At the jail they told the lawyer that Gutstadt had been taken to Rochester to have his wooden leg repaired and had not yet returned. The lawyer visited County Judge Hazard and asked whether Gutstadt was being kept as a guest of the county or whether he is really being kept in jail. Judge Hazard summoned Sheriff Becker and ordered the Sheriff not to permit Gutstadt to go on any more excursions. In answering the general protest against his action Sheriff Becker tonight said that in permitting Gutstadt to go to Syracuse and Rochester, he was prompted by humanitarian motives, since by having a better leg the prisoner would be less likely to fall and perhaps seriously injure himself.

RAIN WAS BENEFIT r TO PUBLIC HEALTH"

The rain which has fallen in this county during the past few days, was quite a benefit to public health accor ding to the opinion expressed this morning by County Health Officer J.: E. King. The rain was so severe that it did a good job of cleaning the streets. In addition to this, "! it filled up the wells. Dr. King says this is a good thing for the typhoid situation, because the additional water in the wells causes the water to dilute, and spreads the germs around . through a largerspace. This means that there are fewer microbes in a given space than before the rain, and, therefore, persons are less likely to contract typhoid.
