TEMPERANCE COMMITTEE.
    We, your Committee on Temperance, submit the following
report:  Whereas, the subject of intemperance has been so nar-
rowly treated by its advocates,  and believing as we do, that
greater results for good would be accomplished if the subject was
treated in a broader sense; and whereas, the growing evil of in-
temperance is seen abroad in the land, both  in the higher and
lower circles; and whereas, the cause of temperance is a high
and noble one, in which all persons should be engaged.
    Therefore. be it Resolved,  That we, the representatives of
the great Baptist family of Ohio be earnestly and sincerely uni-
ted against the force of the great giant,
    Therefore, be it Resolved,  That we endorse the work of
the Anti Saloon League and all efforts put forth against this
growing evil.  We further recommend that all pastors composing
this Association preach a sermon semi-annually on this subject,
and urge upon their congregations to put a stop to this evil.
    Committee:  C. W. Stribling, Chairman; B. P. Burch, T.
Timberlake, T. J. Carter, J. G. Orr, Secretary.
