The following are the resolutions to
be presented to TIE General Confer
nee
"Resolyed, that since our Church brands allIi-
censes as sin, we hold that the prOper attitude OF
Christians towards the wholeilcense system is
one OF uncnMpr9mising opposition.
'.Resolyed. That while we do not advise the
taking of partisan politics into the pulpit, yet,
upon this most Important OF all political issues,
we call upon our ministers to pronounce most
emphatically against any party that in its plat
form or legislative acts, provides by license or
otherwise for the continuance OF the drink trai-
tic and affords no protection against its ravages.
"ReSolved, That we emphatlcally declare our
selves in favor of that political party, OF what
ever name or title, that will incorporate in its
platform the principle OF the prohibition liquor
traffic, and that we will not east our votes for
am man, lOwever solemn his pledges to aid the
cause of temperance, whit will permit himself

rectiun. During the past year assist
ance was rendered over 1000 young
men in their courses of study, and 260
women were also aided in their studies

women, said 1--WE have a place for
women in the Church if there is no
place for them in the General Confer
ence.n This remark caused quite a
laugh, owing TO the vote of the Con

sion of women as delegates to the Gen.
