ment, the implication being that it was not
conducted economically. Judge Robert n
Wilson of the Board at once threatened to
resign. He said the Board was supposed
to be an eel which was getting used to be-
ing skinned and was good only when dead
To this other members retorted the Board
had got in groove and change was neces-
sary. Extravaganza was also openly
charged, and the discussion was intensified
by a comparison of the work Of the Board
with that of the Publication Boards oil
other denominations. Finally it was de-
cided to instruct a committee of five to in.

Rev. DR.. Hayes, Chairman of the Com.
mittee on Temperance. presented report
in which was embodied a resolution ex.
pressing sympathy with the movement in
progress for the complete suppression Of
the traffic in intoxicating liquors.
Rev. j. Logan Sample, of Dakota, offered
the following substitute: THAT while not
indorsing any political party, we desire to
express our heartfelt sympathy with the
widespread movement in favor of prohibi-
ton, and extend TO its advocates hearty
God speed"
DR.. Howard Crosby opposed the substi-
tute, and said: There are two principles
adopted by Christians in this country on
temperance questions. One is prohibition
and the other high license. 1t would be a
great mistake for the Presbyterian Church
to determine which is the best method for
its purpose. Thd prohibitionists are a po-
hlcal party, and we have no right to pledge
our adherence to any body"
DR.. Sample said he advocated prohibition
because it was scriptural, and he consid-
cred it a sad day for the temperance cause
when large body like this Assem- bly
could not bid it God speed.
DR.. Crosby asked: What constitutional
right has DR.. Sample to say that constitu-
tional prohibition is the only thing that
will conquer the saloon? say it would
result in free rum. Both prohibition and
high license are political questions, and we
have no right TO ally ourselves to either
side. Let US talk it down and condemn,
but don't let US take either siden
By vote of 2l0 to 105 the substitute
was laid on the table. The original reso-
luton, which read as follows, was adopted:
Resolred, That we heartily reiterate the de-
hverance of former Assemblies upon this whole
subject, and express our warm sympathy with
the widespread popular movement now in pro-
gress in favor of the complete suppression of
the traffic in Intoxicating liquors as beverage,
and we bid all wise and proper methods to Sc
cure this issue hearty Gcd-speed.
