cial and moral support was passed {

resolution follows:
"We, your committee on temper S
ance, wish to recognize The hand OF I
Providence and His divine leader I
ship in the wonderful progress made
in the temperance movement during
the past year; but at the same time
we are conscious of the fact that the
victory won in the passage of the
18th amendment means responsible
itv in maintaining said victories; and !
recognizing as we do and must, the
strenuous efforts being made by the
non-temperance forces for the over
throw of this the 18th amendment
to the constitution of the United :
States:
"Be 1t Therefore Resolved:
First That we urge upon our
pastors to keep before their congre-
cations the sacredness and import
ance of supporting and maintaining
the 18th amendment to our constitu-
ton; and give support to all en-
forcement officers both by evidence
and private service.
Second: That we urge upon all
Christian people and all law abiding
citizens the necessity of placing
principle above party and the elec-
ton of men to office who favor the
enforcement of the Volstead act;
and recognizing, as we do, the siren
uous efforts being made by the
liquor forces to elect men who are
wet to our legislature and also to
congress, we therefore recommend
and urge upon all of our pastors and
christian people to take special and
vital interest in the fall election and
also in the national election two
years hence.
"Third: Be it resolved that we
depreciate and condemn the men
who patronize the bootlegger and
purchase from him an unlawful COM
modify in an unlawful way, as being
undesirable citizens. in that they aid
and sanction the violation of the
constitution of the United States.
