suNDAy.sCHo0L BOOKS.
The Committee on Sunday Schools
reported . resolution requesting the
Sundsy-school editor to prepare dis
criptive catalogue Of books suitable for
use in the Sunday schools OF the
Church.
DR.. McFerrin opposed the adoption
Of the resolution. He said the pub
clearinghouse has already full casa-
logue Of the books on sale.
Mr.. Irby, of Virginia, was heartily
in favor Of such publication. He be-
lieved it would greatly aid Sunday
school workers in making selections of
proper books. The general catalogue
does not distinguish between Sunday
school books and other books, nor does
it give any information respecting the
character Of the work beyond what Is
usually printed on the title-psge.
The resolution was adopted.
TEMPERANCE.
The Committee on Temperance pre-
sented report on that part Of the
Bishops address referring to the use
and sale of intoxicating liquors.
The resolutions congratulate the
Church on the fact that no change in
the Discipline is necessary to bring the
law Of the Church abreast with en-
lightened sentiment Of the present age
on this subject. Wesley, the great
founder Of Methodism. anticipated By
more than hundred years the present
movement TO remove this great evil
from society. The present law is ex-
plicit on these subjects, and sufficient
for the extirpation from the Church OF
the sin of drinking and selling intoxi-
eating liquors.
The resolutions pronounce the license
system sinful, whether the license be
high or low. They urge the ministry
and membership Of the Church to join
with all good citizens in all honorable
efforts to secure the passage Of pro-
hibitory laws in all the States. They
hold that the time has come when the
Church should bring all its power to
bear in an effort to Danish from our
country the curse Of the traffic and use
Of intoxicating liquors.
Rev. Mr.. Gambler moved to amend
the report so that it shall recommend
such a change in the Discipline as shall
declare the selling ofintoxicating liquors
an immortality. The law now classes it
with imprudent conduct.
The report and amendment were
placed on the calendar, to be taken up
in regular order.
