DENNY ST. CHURCH
AGAINST LIQUOR
CONGREGATION PASSES RESO-
LUTON DENOUNCING SALE
OF 1T AT FAIR.

Practically every member Of Denny
Street Methodist church, Fulton, at a
congregational meeting yesterday
morning voted in favor of a resolu-
ton denounclng the sale of intoxicat-
ing LIQUORS at the State fair grounds.
The members declared that they
would not only stay away from the
annual event themselves. but would
put forth every available effort to
persuade others to do likewise.
The resolution met with no opposi-
ton at the hands of the congregation
and passed without argument. Fol
lowing is copy of the resolution:
Whereas, we, the congregation Of
Denny Street Methodist church. as
sembled, do believe that the sale Of
Intoxicating liquors in the State fair
grounds will be detrimental to the
good morals Of our people who may
attend the fair. And, whereas, the
State fair authorities do not seem in
clined TO heed the urgent request Of
the Christian element Of the State 70
eliminate the sale of liquor from the
fair grounds.
Resolved, That we, ourselves. not
only cannot attend the fair, but we
will ALSO use our best endeavors To
dissuade others from attending.
