Quarterly Conference, The firs*, quarterly conference of the Bainbridge Methodist Church will be held next Monday night at the parsonage, and a full attendance of the ofTioial Board is earnestly des sired by the Presiding Elder.

Yesterday was the beginning of Lest, the great annual penitential ska son. It is observed as a jrelig- leas duty ' vary strictly by the Catholic ohnreh, and fees strictly hjr various of the protestant ebur* chat. That aside from Its strictly isHgiouk or devotional feature it iVa wholesome custom, conducive to physical as well as moral uplift ing ! , must be J readily admitted; and this being true, its observance is to be commended. Lent com prlsee the forty days preceding Easter, and in Christian observance is intending to repre sent the Savior's passion before His crucifix'on. The follower of Christ is expected to practice self- denial, and more thkn ordinarilly ?ive t tboughto his past life with its short comings and to the future life with its premiar-s. Mar in consequence of tfr.ne waa during Lent a cessation °.ver go gaiet.es and observance wfjely- j purely for pleasure. In socie e ^ is the grand period of rest > . mg the year. In the practice of s^ lf-de- nial, aside from the special fasting there is greater simplicity of liv ing, in consequence of the absti nence from everything that comes under the head of the extras and which, while tickling the i Ulate at the same time vex the stoAach. The rest thus given to the n'Jrves and the physical organs oannot do otherwise than be beneficial pe- sically to the observers of Lent. And the natural effect of this phy sical change upon the mind, to gether which induced this self-de nial, must have the same improv ing hffect mentally and spiritually. Man can only be made better by the obligations of Lent, and th stricter they are observed the greater the benefit that will result. There is wbat seems to be gen uine effort to restrict, at l"ist, the shipment of liquor into dry terri tory. The latest snggestieu is to make it unlawful to ship liquor to any place, in any state that forDids the'shipment of liquor from on9 place toauother within the state That is an admirable snggestion. It ought to be a misdemeanor for any common carrier to haul any com— modify within the state that the law fees condemned as unsalable for food or drink, unless it shall have first been denaturized, so as to render it unfit for use as food or drink. If we bad a law like that, it would head off Uncle Sam in his liquor auctions at the federal court house. Everybody that bougbt at the sale would then have to tote bis own purchase, or haul it away in his own wagon. This evil however, would be more directlv met by a law offered by our Con gressman Griggs. His bill proposes to destroy all captured liquor. That would leave no’Tiug to sell and would put the liquor where it wou d do the least harm.

FarnisHes the Djnaiitc Stalk Narcotic And Irritant, Hold a mouthful of spirits whisk, ey for instance in your mouth fur five min ales, and \ouwiII find it iburns severely; inspect the mouth and you will find it inflamed. Hold it for ten or fifteen minutes; and you will find that various parts of the interior of the mouth have be come blistered; then lie a handker chief over the eyes, and taste, tor instance, water, vinegar, milk, or senna, i^nd you will find that yon are incapable of distinguishing one from another.Tl.is < xperiment proves to a certainty that whiskey or aico- hoi is not only a violent irritate but also a narctic. C m yon believe that the still more tender and important internal organs of the body can be fees injuriously affected than the lmouth? Alcohol is specially i.p l to all in. tents and purposes a cerebral poison It siezes, with its disorganizing en>. ergy, upon the brain, that myster* ions part whose steady and zndis- turbed action holds man in true re sponsible relations with his family, with society, and with God; and it is this fearful fact that gives togov- erment and society their tremend ous interest in the question. The chief bar to the working oi the Spirit of God in the sonls of! men and women, is intoxicatingI drink. I know of no antagonist to ! that good Spirit more subtle, more j stealthy, more ubiqoitous than is. j toxicating drink. Though I have { known men and wo men destroyed I tor all maner of reasons, yet I know J of no cause that affects man, women,! child, and home with such univer- i sality of power as intoxicatingj drink.
