DENVER, May 21.-Unanimous &C., tion condemning President Wilson for his recommendation to congress of the repeal of war time prohibition, was taken late today by the Northern Bap- tist convention in session here.
 On motion from the convention floor, the convention voted to prepare reso- lutions "in strong and vigorous terms and at the same time dignified," ex- pressing the conventions disapproval of the presidents stand.
 The resolution will be drawn up by committee of which D. L. Tustin. for mer member of the Pennsylvania legis- lature, is chairman. Grant NJ. Hudson, Michigan nti-saloon league worker, and c. NJ. Hill, president of Berkeley Seminary, California, are other mem- bers.
 Resolutions also were adopted ex- tending greetings to the Presbyterian assembly meeting at ist. Louis.
 League Must Have Good Will | Declaring nationalism, which sought to bring prosperity to one nation at the expense of others, is a Germanic ! composed of purely sel1Ish nations can endure, W. H. P. Faunce, president of l Brown University, this afternoon told the convention that he was earnestly in favor of league of nations which slould be barked by the good will Of all member nations. None other could be permanent" he said.
 pr. Faunce's address on 'the church and social reconstruction sounded the keynote of convention work. Settlement of the labor problem by mutual under standings and cooperation was urged. Labor that degrades and stunts the personality cannot be tolerated in a christian land" he said. eToil that un- dermines health, that permanently ttaps nervous energy, toll that is aim less and hopeless because it see no outcome, toll that has no satisfaction in the proces and no share in the re- Sults-that is anti-christian toll and must not be allowed in a Christian land"
 Speaking of the present social and industrial unrest he said:
 "On the whole, 1 would prefer the tyranny of a single autocrat to the tyranny of the hydra-headed mob
 Class rule is always blind and hateful
 Christianity knows no class and will submit to none. Democracy is clumsy
 but christian, autocracy is smooth run ming, but sure in the end to run upon the rocks.
 Against Industrial War
 Christianity cannot recognize in-
 dustrial war as the future basis of so- , ciety. The laboring man who regards all employers as his natural foes is
 blind to the facts as they are, is a poor helper in any enterprise, and is ! not fitted to function in a Christian , society. The employer who regards all laboring men with supicion is not
 fitted to function in a christian society and is menace to the state"
 At tonights session, the convention
 had before it the report of the survey I board which has been estimating tht
 needs of all departments of church ac.
 tivity for the next five years. A gigan-
 tic sum of $49,s54,3s3 will be needed

 ton, literature and social reconstruc P tion. It is the biggest financial budge a ever put before a Baptist convention. Success Of the victory campaign o z the laymen's committee of the conven

 f Finances Under Discussion e The victory campaign was inaugu s rated with view to meeting unusua t financial conditions, caused by the wal y by combining the needs of all depart s ments of church work in one giganti d financial campaign

 and pass on budgets to cover the year = expenses of every department C y church work. is expected to come be ' fore the convention tomorrow.
