This association of the Congrega-
tional Churches of Kennebec County
desires to put itself on public record
as expressing it's deepest sympathy
and hearty approval of the splendid
service which was rendered by our
ministry and some of the men and
women of our churches in the inter-
| est of temperance. We reaffirm our
| belief in the prohibitory amendment.
We rejoice, with the other Christian
forces of our State for the mighty
moral victory which has been won
against such fearful odds; and we
feel that immediate steps should be
taken, in all our communities, for
safeguarding and bringing to greater
expression the wakened Christian
sentiment against the rum traffic. We
hereby call upon the men of our
lehurches, in all possible, individual
land united ways, to give expression
to this sentiment, in the duties and
privileges of true Christian citizen
ship.
We hail with gladness and express
our cordial sympathy with the gener-
al movement known as the Men and
Religion Forward Movement" We
believe that this movement, having
behind it all the great churches of
North America, and other national
organizations working for men, has
ibeen ordained of God; and has In it
both hope and promise for the COM
ling of Christian America, and a
/ fuller realization of the Kingdom of
God. We urge our communicates and
churches to lend the movement their
prayers and services, in such ways as
parish and community life make pos
slble.
The church of South Gardiner has
Hong been known for its generous hos
pitality, cordial and loving welcome
Iextended to all the churches through
tout this sisterhood of churches. They
have made us glad to come, not once
but again, and continually set before
us lessons of high devotion TO church
and Christian fellowship. This asso-
citation expresses its hearty apprecla-
ton not only of the hospitality ex-
tended by the church, and especially
by the Kings Daughters in the fine
land bountiful dinner and supper
served, but also for its noble example
In the generous things of brotherly
love and Christian service.
