RESOLUTIONS.
We, the woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of Forest County assem- bled,
do gratefully acknowledge the guidance
OF Our Heavenly Father for the progress
we have made during the past year.
Whereas, We believe in total abstinence
from all intoxicating liquors as the only
safe rule to follow, we rejoice that each
year the business world gives testimony
to the injurious effects of alcoholic bever-
ages on workmen by requiring total alb
stnence of their employees.
Resolved, That we keep our faces
steadfastly toward the goal of statewide
prohibition and will endeavor in every
legitimate way to educate aud agitate un.
til we succeed.
Resolved, That we make the succeed
ing six years, period ofsggressive work
through every channel, church, Sabbath
school, public school, young peoples So
cieties, and all our meetings preparatory
to campaign for national prohibition in .
1920.
Whereas, We realize that the saloon ex-
lists only where the church of Christ is |
Indifferent,
Resolved, That we call upon all good |
men in every party to place in nomina-
ton for all offices only such men as are
in sympathy with the onward movement
for national prohibition.
Besolved, That we urge that all chris
tian people, refuse to support any candi-
date for the high Office of Judge who is
not in sympathy with the temperance
movement and opposed to the licensing
of saloons and vice or sin in any form.
Resolved, That we deplore the increas-
ing desecration of the Lords Day, and
that we strive to create public sentiment
on this subject; we will place Sabbath OBJ
literature in our Sabbath
schools, and that our boys and girls NAV
be taught reveraDce for the day.
Whereas, we believe in the ballot for
women on equal terms with men,
Resolved, That we rejoice over the
passage of the woman's Suffrage amend
ment and that we continue to work in
his department until the general election
in 1915.
Resolved, That we extend vote of
thanks to the No-license League of Tio-
nesta for the excellent work in helping to
remove the saloon from our county. Be
It therefore resolved, that we assist this
league in anything possible in their noble
effort.

tude to the members of the NJ. L. Church
for the use of their church, to the choir,
and to all who have assisted in any way
to make this convention success.
