A Temperance Resolution
The following resolution was
unanimously adopted by the Moria n

sion, and the clerk was ordered r.,
record it in the minutes and to have

1T is the sense of the Moriab
baptist Association that the probi-
Dition laws are being ruthlessly vio.
iated In Lancaster county, and tha,
the Christian people should give
their early support, and especiauv
that the officers of the law hereby he.
requested to be more vigilant in the
enforcement OF these. and other laws
of like nature"
IL was shown in the great Baptist
convention that a certain state q,
ahairs exists here, which Is very un-
becoming to a great and Christia n
people like those of Lancaster
county.
