Resolved by this Presbytery, That our earnest
protest be recorded before your BODY against
such practices. With grief we deplore the
aspersions thereby brought upon our beloved
Church and the injury 1t works TO the cause OF
Jesus Christ. We believe the example thus
set before the young men OF this and other col

blow to the cause of temperance and all purity.
We respectfully overture the General Assembly
TO take action in the matter looking toward a
healthier moral tone in the institutions where we
have reason to believe the sons of the Church
shall be given the highest Christian example ana
led in all things to accept the noblest ldeaI OF
manhood in Christ Jesus.
Several Presbyterians have also overturned the
Assembly to increase the Board of Foreign MIS-
sions by adding at least dozen women TO the
