ResoEUed, That we reaffirm the 2nd and
9TH resolutions of the Chicago National |
Convention, which read as follows: That
trust in God and faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ as the savior from appetite IS the
foundation of our effort in the salvation
of men. That while we work with all !
zeal for the reformation and salvation of
men, we solemnly recognize as work
we may not neglect the redemption of
women who are also victims of the same
kindred vices.

the 9th and 8th resolutions of our own
State Convention at EIyria last year. "ln-
asmuch as the symbolism of the sacra-
mental cup is fully presented in the un-
fermented fruit of the vine we urge our
churches TO use only unfermented wine
at the Communion table, thus giving no
occasion of stumbling to the weaker
brethren y ssThat in the temperance
work of our respective towns we look al
ter the interests of our African fellow
citizens"
