In pursuance of this resolution, the committee makes this address and appeal in the name of God to the conscienceg of our people: .♦ We need not here recount the magnitude of the evil, how to deal with this great question is the perplexing thought that engages the mind of the Christian patriot of to-day. It is a mojhl question and therefore address** itself wit ■trHimmdouB for* TnYoiayTti-**i»*e of Christ. 4 / Alas, we have baeul relax, our members in manv instances have voted with and patronized the traffic, became bondsmen and rented warehouses to the traffick ers in human souls. Without our aid the State would have been powerless to pass the law that re solved herself into a great bar keeper and her Agricultural hall into a State liquor saloon. Our resolutions at our conferences, as sociations and presbyteries defin ing the enormity of the evil of the liquor traffic and the proper atti tude of the Church has fallen short of the remedy. They have only shown our inconsistency in failing to use our pulpits, our discipline and our organizations solidly against the liquor devil. If, therefore, as a church or as a citizen simply, we would repudiate the dishonor brought upon us by the State of which we are citizens there must be an open and declar ed hostility to the liquor traffic that means a war of extermination, at least so far as‘selling it for bever age purposes is concerned. This declaration must go beyond mere words, reolutions ami such like.
