following
Resolved, That that it is the sense of this
convention that the Sunday school should be
closely identified with the temperance move
ment; that by frequent instruction, the hold
ing of temperance meetings in connection
with toe Sunday school, and by all other pos
slble means the liquor traffic and intemper-
ance should be made Odious to childhood :;
and to this end the DemoreSt medal contests
are recommended as a potent agency both
for impressing the young and cultivating
temperance sentiment in the county; that
we apprehend with sadness fearful results for
the restriction of the liquor traffic in Garrett
county and as Sunday school workers we
the curse again from our midsts. An amend
