convenient places for the legal porcure-
ment of liquors. &
Resotyed, That the pastors of the relig-
GUS denominations of this county be
invited by this society, to preach one or
more temperance sermons each year to
their Sabbath congregations, and that
they confer with their Sunday-school
superintendent relative to forming tenn
perance societies in their several Sunday
schools.
Resolved, That the executive commit
tee of this society be instructed to con-
fer with the town committees, this day
appointed, and with the officers of exist
ing temperance societies. relative to
needed temperance work, and the forma-
ton of temperance organizations where
none now exist.
ReSolued, That every Christian man
and woman, and every member of the
temperance societies of the county IS
under a Christian and moral obligation
do the most possible in his community
to see that the liquor laws of the state
are enforced, and that in refusing so to
do he is partially responsible for the
intemperance in his community.
Resolued. That the States Attorney
Is under the same legal and moral obll-
