PRESBYTER!ANS STAND BY
THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
After Long and Heated Debate the General Assembly
Dscards the Idea of Church Temperance Move
ment and Endorses the League and
Promises It's Support

Columbus, o., May % The Pres
byterian general assembly indorsed
the Anti-Saloon league as a safe,
sane and effective organization in the
advancement of the great cause Of
temperance. With the Endorsement,
the church body decided against a
temperance movement on its own ac-
count.
This decision came only after a
long debate, which at times verged
closely upon bitter personalities. But
when the final vote was taken 1t was
seen to be best to make the decision
unanimous, and it was so entered
upon the books.
Besides commencing the league the
assembly promised the whole hearted
support of the church in so far as
such support would be consistent with
the historical attitude of that body
in keeping its skirts clear of politics,
In anticipation OF momentous
fight over the temperance question
every commissioner was in his seat
and the gallery of Memorial hall was
filled with spectators, majority OF
them women, when at O'Clock, as a
special order for the day, the assemb-
| ly called for the reports of the com
mittee on church polity and temper
ance. 1t became evident almost at
the outset that majority of the
commissioners was bent on settling
for all time the controversy aroused
by the organizing Of the Inter
church Temperance federation against
the protest of the Anti-Saloon league
The assembly temporarily put aside
the report of committee on polity
took up the report of the committee
on temperance, which had been d.
rected by the assembly to define The
duties of the permanent committed
on temperance, and adopted the fol
lowing resolution as a substitute fol
lone prepared by the committee.
Whereas the Presbyterian churcl
has always stood for the separation
