monish our local Unions IN reference
thereto.
Resolved, That we will use our influence
against the use of tobacco, particularly by
young men and boys, believing as we do,
that its use often creates desire for strong
drink. Knowing that the medical profes.
sion has an extended influence, and sacred
opportunities for personal influence,
Resolved, That We, as Christian workers,
will use our influence with the profession to
induce them to do away, as far as in their
power, with the use Of alcoholic stimulants.
As we are convinced in many cases it use as
a medicine cxcites the appetite for strong
drink.
Resolved, That as the appetite for intoxi,
eating liquors has been known to become
excited by the smell and taste of wine, the
W. c. r. L. will do all in its power to in
fluence all Christian denominations to dis
continue the use of fermented wines at
communions. And that we will prepare
specimens Of the canned juice of the grape,
suitable for that purpose.
Resolved That we recognize il as one of
our most important duties to avail ourselves
Of the influence Of the press, in dissemn-
ating temperance truth, to its largest posi-.
bic extent And we recommend the secur-
ing OF columns in daily, and weekly pa
pers, by committee from each local
Union, and to the personal attention of all
our members who can send items and let.
tiers to local papers.
Resolved, That while we cordially co.
operate with all other temperance organi2a-
tons we will always sustain our own associa.
ton and will wear as our badge a bow of
white ribbon Recognizing the fact that
example is more powerful than preccpt
therefore,
Resolved, That the ladies of the w. G.
r. Union use their undivided and combined
efforts to impress upon the minds of the
members Of the Reform Club the necessity
of avoiding the appearance Of evil by visit
ing the saloons for mere pastime, playing
billiards, &c.
Resolved That we are deeply gratfcd
at the action Of Commodore Davidson. of
the northern line of steamers on the Missis-
sippi river, in having abolished the bars
on his line. And we earnestly petition

the lower Mississippi, to adopt a similar
course.
The w. c, T, T., in convention assem-
blcd, do resolve to make personal effort, by
letter. and bya special committecappointed
for that purpose.
Also, we are personally thankful to the
railroad companies which have, declared
that employees Of their roads shall be total
abstainers.
And the same committee are requested
to petition any other railroads, not yet
adopting this plan, to do so. The commit.

Resolved, That we urge upon all
Unions to send delegates to our district,
state, and, if possible, national conventions,

interest of our local Unions, but almost

work,
