WITHDRAW FROM
WHISKEY CHURCHES
Address Of Baptist Editor to
Dover Assn. Which
Meets TO-DAY.

The Dover Baptist Association Will meet
to-day in the Ashland Baptist Church.
All the local ministers Of the denomlna-
ton will be IN attendance. and a most
interesting and busncss-like session Is
looked for.
Tho old question OF whisky In the
churches will be up again. but hardly in
so pronounced form as usual, since con-
dit!ons have bettered themselves much
since the last meeting. Still, there are
scme among the ministers who advocate
tho withdrawal Of fellowship at this ses-
sion from those churches who have still
retained whiskey dealers in their mem
bership. One of these ministers Is the
Rev. 7. S. Boyes, editor OF the Gospel
Weekly. In the issue which will appear
this week Mr.. Boyles will say on this
subject:
The time has come, it seems to u.s.
when we must take final steps in regard
to our liberation of liquor dealers, whole
sale or retail, in any of our churches in
the Dover Association. or elsewhere. AT
tho meeting Of the Dover this week 1t re-
mains to be seen what disposition VIII be
made of this long agltated question. We
recognize and appreciate the fact that
great things have been wrought for tenn
perance among our churches during the
last quarter of century, The time was
when there were many liquor dealers reps
resented among the constituency Of the
Dover, hut now there arc very few per-
haps only three or four In our entire
associatlona membership 15,oW
strong. a's
on the other hand. the Dover has been
considering this question:. somewhat in
earnest at times, about Ave years We
have lovingly demonstrated with churches
that retain liquor dealers IN their mem
hership. Nearly all Of these churches
In question have gotten rid of liquor
dealing members, or persuaded them to
discontinue the iniluitous business, but IL
is painful to note that some OF our
churches seem to be slow In dealing with
their liuuor sellers. Now, then, after
five years of persuasion and demonstra-
ting, patience and endurance, we do not
hesitate to put ourselves on record as
saving that the time Is come for final ac-
| ton.
Article of the Dover constitution says:
| '.This association shall have no more
control over the churches than the right
| to inquire into their condition, to advise
them and TO withdraw its fellowship from
| such as may be corrupt In doctrine or
practice
The clause quoted is certainly supported
| by the Word of God In abundant meas
| ure. We quote two of many Scriptures
on this point; "Haye no. fellowship with
rather even reprove them" Eph.. v; ID
! Come We out from among them. and
be We separate" or Cor. vi: I'D
Brethren of the Dover, and brethren OF
any other association so unfortunate as
to be puzzled with the question OF liquor
dealing to any extent let as take frm,
| decided stand on this perpleXing PROD
| lem. If any church refuses to hear the
| .'advice' of the association, or II any
church unnecessarily delays this mater
| for five long years, then let us VIII
draw fellowship from such as may be
corrupt in doctrine or practice
Ma the Lord direct in the right way.
