 Resolved, That with devout gratitude we recognize the hand of God in the many announcements of the past two years in the work of our association, especially those of evangelistic success in the fields visited by our field workers. and for the fresh impetus given to our primary work.
 Resolved. That we give expression of our appreciation of the deeper interest variously manifest in our work by many pastors and churches of eur state, and that we invite their continued CO., operation with US.
 Resolved, That in view of the persist ent encroachments and pernicious influ- ences of the saloon, we urge the neces-
 
 school in the state sentiment in favor of total abstinence from the use of in toxicants as beverages, and that we re- spectfully suggest to the next commit tee on temperance that may be appoint ed by the incoming legislature the im- portance of having in mind in all tenn perance legislation not only the adult citizens of our state, but also the chill Eren, and that for their sake the power of the saloon be limited and weakened as much as possible.
 Resolved. That in view of the small att tention given in our public schools to the Word of God, notwithstanding the fact that to so great an extent the nations safety and general prosperity depend upon a recognition of and obedience to principles contained in that Word, and which constitute the very foundation of those civil laws which distinguish civilized nations from all others, we therefore empha size the necessity of living up to the nlottoes of our association by hastening to bring every child in our state under 4he influence of Bible instruction as patriotic obligation.
