ADJOURNMENT OF
THE CUMBERLANDS

Dickson, Tenn, May 24-The eightieth
general assembly of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church, after session ex-
tending throughout six days. adjourned
tonight to meet next year in Evansville,
Ind.
The concluding session was marked by
more excitement than any days meeting
of the assembly. 1t came about through
the reading of the report of the tenn
perance committee, which condemned in
unmeasured terms the whisky traffic as
something which corrupts state and ma
tional existence, breeds murderers and
thieves of men, and recommended the
exclusion from church membership of
those who would rent houses for saloons
orr immoral purposes.
The report sets forth that the Cum
berand church favors worldwide prohi-
bition and urges that it may be made
felony for one to ship intoxicating
liquors into prohibition territory A law
prohibiting the manufacture of whisky
in the United States or its importation
is also recommended.
The sale of cigarettes is likewise de-
clared to be deleterious to health and is
condemned 1t was suggested that liquor
for medicinal purposes be allowed, but
the suggestion was rejected and the re-
port as presented was adopted.
The question of church federation was
taken up but no action was taken.
The Rev. j. F. Gill of California led
the forces in opposition. DIR. Gill de-
nounced President Taft as one man he
would not want 10 fraternize with be-
cause 'he turned down his glass and
he danced all night with a mayors
wife, he said.
In revising its programme the general
assembly omitted the subject of law
suits. Hence, the report says, the pro-
posed paper by j, j. McClelland and
the debate anticipated, did not occur on
account of the shortness of time.
