Special to the Globe
ST. CLOUD, Oct. 15.-The work of the
Baptist convention in session here was
inaugurated this morning with reports
of committees. The most important
among these was the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions, which declared
against the liquor traffic, and also ex-
pressed the hope that the worlds fair
commissioners would decide that the
great exposition remain closed Sun
days. Rev. Wayland Hoyt, of Mime
apolis, submitted the following supple
mentary resolution, which was also
adopted:
Resolved. That we would warn the people
of the stale against the subtle encroach-
mems of the Roman Catholic church on the
Integrity OF our public school system, and
that we protest against any action of boards
of euucation which shall even seem to give
the public school 10 the sectarian use of the
Roman Catholic church or of any church
whatever
ha; we deprecate the increasing tendency
of he cities of our state toward the desecra-
ton II the Lords day by Sunday perform
aEces in the theaters, and that we urge upon
AL EapuStS in our state their aid towards the
creation OF such righteous public opinion as
shall cause this lawless and demoraliZing
practice TO cease.
