Subject discussed by Ed DE- Nc
Chung w + White and r M Perry and
the report adopted.
REPORT ON TEMPERANCE.
Your committee in the use of the
word temperance would be understood
to mean total abstinence from the use
OF all alcoholic beverages, believing
as we do that all indulgence in such
practice and all participation in the
traffic in such drinks is altogether evil.
In this day OF enlightenment on this
subject, we deem UNNECESSARY to en-
ter into any lengthy argument to prove
a fact in which scientist and moralist
are fully agreed with tie religious
world, and shall only urge that, we as,
an association, continue to press for
ward in the work until the last vestaco
OF the liquor curse shall be removed
from among us.
Respectfully submitted
