The Broadway rrcsb, terian congre-
cation church has adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
Whereas, Our city council has re-
pcaled the ordinance closing the sa-
looms OF this city on Sunday, thus
canceling Il righteous law which they
were elected to enforce: and had
once formerly voted to enforce; and
withdrawing the citv's support from
the state law closing the saloons on
Sunday.
Resolved. That however sincere
in this action. il is our conviction
that the council has made a grave
mistake, bringing dishonor upon the
name of our city.
Resolved, That we protes; again st
it as misrepresentation of the sem
timents Of a aiority of the citizens
of Rock Island and serious blow at
our best welfare, and therefore we
respectfully demand its reenactment
and faithful enforcement.
