Makes Recommendations
The report concludes.
In view Of these things. We beg
leave TO submit the following reso-
lutions and recommend their adop-
ton,
l. That we gratefully acknowledge
tho leading oF our heavenly Father
in all these achievements and thank
him for his great blessings unon our
t.snse
. THAT while we recognize the sue
cess of our efforts. we also recognize
the strength of the enemy, which is
nrxanize,, and fKhting al never be-
fore and that we urge our churches
- give AT possible encouragement TO
every eftnrt which conforms TO our
drink evil.
a That we reaftirm our loyalty TO
the Anti-9aloon league and commend
it not only TO the sympathy of our
churches. but their financial support
as well. We also commend the work
of the Virginia Woman's Christian
TEMPERANCE union.
A. That we deplore the refusal of
the State Fair association to grant
our petition not TO sell liquor upon
It's premises. but we reassert our po-
Sitfon upon that question, and again
not only respectfully. but mistakenly.
rsquegr INC state Fair association not
to sell, or permit TO he Sold intoxl-
eating liquors upon the fair grounds
the coming year. ami the temperance
committee is hereby instructed to pre-
sent this request TO the directors of
the State Fair association.
g. That we also deplore the action
OF the Virginia senate in defeating
the Statewide prohibition enabling
act In March last and the ignoring
of our courteous request to be per-
mitted as citizens to express ourselves
upon the question of license or no
license in Virginia, and 1t was espe-
cially regrettable to us that prominent
Baptists of this State voted more
favorably To the liquor interests than
in accordance with the requests and
wishes of the great body OF Baptists
of Virginia. But we hereby reaf-
firm our position upon this subject
and most earnestly and mistakenly Pc
tition the legislature Of Virginia to
pass an enabling act to permit the
people Of the State to say wether or
not they are favorabl to the liquor
license system in this Commonwealth:
and the temperance committee Is di-
rectad Ia present this resolution to
the legislature in due time
