After hearing the reports brought by its delegates to the Continental Congress, Dr. Lucretia V. T. Sim- mons, Miss Sabra W. Vought, Mrs. Newton B. Spangler and Mrs, John A. Ferguson, the chapter adopted, unanimously, the following resolu- tion: Whereas, Newspaper reports recent Congress of the national Daughters of the American Revolution seem to put the organization in the position of opposing the efforts now be- ing made by our national government to promote international confidence and good will; and, Whereas, The National society, Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, is an organization to honor and promote patriotism and since the welfare of our country lies as much in striving for the peace in the future as in honoring the heroism of the past; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Bellefonte chapter, national society of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution, believe that the policy of our national organization should reflect the point of view neither of extreme pacifi- cism nor extreme militarism, but rather an earnest desire to support our gov- ernment in all movements, consistent with national safety, that look toward reduction of armament and the settle- ment of international disputes without recourse to arms. of the society MINISTERS OPPOSED TO SUNDAY FUNERALS, The Bellefonte ministerium met in the library of the Y.
