The committee on resolutions submit
ted the following which were adopted
unanimously:
WHEREAS, We, tho W. c. T. U. OF tho
etate OF W. Va, in convention assem-.
bled, recognize that God has wonder
fully blessed us as M organization dur
ing tho last year in tine increase Of
membership and interest shown
throughout the state, and We continue
to devoutly ask Gods blessing upon us
in tho future. Therefore BIO it
ReSOlred, That as the Sabbath is CIV
en- us by God rs n day OF rest for man
and beast, with tho command to keep it
holy, We cannot. with irnpunity, violate
it; also, that We condemn the running
OF excursion trains and patronlzinr the
sauo, on Sabbath day, by Christians.
Rcs0ivSd, That We protest against
any church ordinance being observed
in our meetings; but that Il worahip
be purely OF q spiritual nature.
RcsOiceI, That We demand an equal
standard OF morals for man and woman,
and that We note with qualification the
advancement OF sentiment along this
line.
Resolved, That 1t is tho sense of'this
convention that since the interests OF
morality dcmandt the ballot In the hands
OF woman, therefore We urge q more
earnest effort to secure the franchise.
Rcsoit;d. That Il superintendent Of
legislation be requested to confer with
the members OF the legislature OF West
Virginia on tho subject Of the choice OF
senators who favor national prohibition
OF tho drink traffic; also, that we petit
ton our legislature 10 appropriate
funds for tho establishment OF Il reform
SCHOOL for girls.
ReSoired, Recognizing in the "I's,"
the young woman's branch. n valuable
training school to develop workers
among tho young women, We recon-
mend that q special effort be made by
every local ". G. 4. U. to organize the
Young women in its locality. Since the
10y" unions pay dues into tho state
treasury, and their department Is thus
on a different basis from any other, We
recommend that tho example OF the
National ". Q. T. U. and OF other
states DO followed, and that a portion OF
the "Y" dues be paid to the static Recre-
tarv OF the young woman's branch to
be used by her in extending tho work
throughout our state.
Resolred, Tha, since our beloved pres
ident has signiticd her desire on account
OF failing health to be relieved from the
presidency OF this organization, we de-
sire to express our heartfelt apprecia-
