adopt measures looking to the restriction
of the liquor traffic; and whereas 1t IS
well known that some churches aft1ilatlns
with this body tolerate this same EVIL IN
their membership: therefore

conviction that trafticking in alchoholic
liquors as a beverage is wholly inconsis-
tent with membership in a Christian
church;
"(2) That we earnestly advise churches
that find liquor-sellers among there mem
bers to adopt promptly suitable means Tor
Kidding themselves Of all completely with
this dreadful business; and
"(3)That we advise District Associa-
lions as leaders nearer the churches than
this General Association, to take up this
subject and never cease their effort until
from the last church of our denomination
shall be lifted the reproach and shame OF
countenancing or even toleratlng the
liquor traffic among its members.
