OFFICIAL, PAPER OF THE COUNTY
FRIDAY, JUNE 20,1884.
fLt$T ioDIt}•T 'CONFERENCE
No doubt every resident of Clinton felt -
that the selection of it as the place for
holding the first meeting of 'the• Guelph
Conference of the united Methodist body
witi'an honor, and an estimation of its
railway facilities and central position,
thatought • to prompt thein.to show their
appreciation and good will by extending
to its Snembers the most hospitable and
cordial welcome, which we think has
been done without an exception. • The se-
lection of this place Tor the meeting does
go far to show that Clinton has a. provin-
cial reputation for gatherings of this char-
ter, by itams,ny�.ddszttages, such as being
central, easily accessible, healthy; beauti-
ful, and the high moral and liberal tone
of its inhabitants. •
Although the subject of.. billeting the
members of Conferences and Synods has
caused some . discussion in other places,'
we do not think the people here, in gener-
have felt it to be inconvenient or
_burdensome, in fact, we know that many
have -taken -pleasure in it, and -were glad_
of the opportunity of entertaining one.
or more, and we have no doubt that the
meeting of Conference here will be. re-
membered with , pleasure by the inhabi-
tants of the town. .
POLITICS INTHE PULPIT.
To judge from some of the reportsof
the gatherings of ministers that ' are now
taking place in . different town`s of the
province, many of the members'that have
composed these meetings have arrived at
the. conclusion that some decisive stand
should be taken on the subject of politics,
or rather that .they should, ,individually
and collectively, give their opinion as to
.the right and wrong of the questions that
are continually being evolved in relation
to the goverment of the country. The
Presbyterians ' made a report upon the
subject of the bitterness of .party • Politics,
and when the matter came up for discus
sion before the whole body,each one touch-
ed it so gingerly hedged around itso care-
fully, and picked it up and laid it down
so gently, that no one could tell what was'
meant, and consequently no one was any.
the wiser for, all the wise speeches that
were made. On Wednesday 'evening at.
the Conference Temperance meeting, more
than one speaker felt thatthe question of.
politics or matters that related to. the
government of the country should be .pro-:
pounced upon. This is all, right. The
social and material condition of the 'conn -
try is a matter of great importance to
every one and to none less than the.min-
istry, in fact, they are the class that
should be the best and moat • thoroughly•
posted upon the subject of, political econ-•
omy, for they are supposed to teach the
sound doctrines of that faith_which is a
promise of the life that now is and of
that which is to come.
All the great questions that have . come
up and been disposed of satisfactorily by
•the English' speaking people, and }which
have contributed so much to their eleva-
tion, liberty and happiness, were :et spine
stage of their growth excluded from the
pulpit, but after it was seen•that they: had
a moral bearing upon the community, Mie:
ministry gradually fell into line on the right
side and the victory'ves obtained. ` The
question of the prohibition of the manu-
facture
anu facture and sale of liquor by an net of the
Dominion Legislature is a purely poli Goad
one, but the ministry have adopted it as a
ill subject for the pu]pit, believing as
they do that it is a great moral question,
that will produce far reaching results for
time and eternity, and judging from past
events, it dill not be long before they
aeconiplish the end aimed at:
At the Laurier (Reform) banquet in
Quebec this week,' one of the speakers
"Was kr. Tarte, editor of the.leadieg Con-
servative paper in Lower Canada; and he
lauded Zion. Edward Blake as the lore

high taxation was to prove the panacea for
the ills Canadawas'laboring under in "79,
higher,texatiun should be the remedy for
the existing evils. This logic should suit.

outcome of their oft -repeated tl}pory that:

of a man the`ntore it puts, into:the; other.
