The Drill Frnnr mi Teiuperanre.
l'ollewlng Is the full lext of the declara
tion of presbytery en tlie toinperancet
question :
Te a body el Christian lnlnlsters the lllble
It the highest authority. According te this
authority strong drink leads te iioverty, te
strlfe and sorrow, and Its excessive tise ex
cludes from heaven. "Xe drunkard shall
enter the kingdom of hoaven."
Te ongage in the tralllc In strong drink
incurs the grievous displeasure of the Al
mighty; "wee unto him that glveth his
neighbor drink, that putteth tlie bettln te
him and inaketli him drunken also." The
cause of tomiKirance is therelore the cause
et O (Hi.
Te a Isxly of Presbyterian mlnlsters the
utterances of their highest church courts are
also or high authority. Our general assem
bly has declaied for "the iitlorextermiuallon
ol'lhe tralllc In Intoxicating liquors."
It hat stigmatized the saloon ivs "the sworn
feo of nil that is best and purest In our civil! civil!
7jitien." It has reMatedly urged upon church
members entire abstinence from Intoxicating
drinks as the only sure protection against
drunkennest ; ami vigorous nml untiring
ellert In arresting the progress of this tremen
dous evil, and In totally suppressing the
tralllc.
W e therefore, tH5.iring these fact-tin mind,
and realizing that iiileniorance is n great
evil iu our nation, tlie preline mother of n
vast progeny or crimes, ttioatiedoof sorrows,
a dismal swamp whero virtue, honor, and
morals sink out et sight; a curse lruitfulef
dlsea.se, poverty ami of Incurable miseries,
a great hike of tears led by the scalding
drops that trickle down the cheeks el
mothers, wives, and daughters, of
widows nml orphans, with coaseloss Hew ;
realizing that the liquor tralllc Isauouemy el
man kind, a dospeller of home, a plundorer of
the public, a dictator te me government, as
nuUgonlstle te the church as satau a strong
hold of the devil; as Incompatible with
home happiness as insanity making nnd
nieu of husbands and lathers ; as repugnant
te the true spirit el Christianity as cannibal
ism ; supporting itseireu bread Ixjugbt with
bleed ;:i mill that grinds te deatli annually
100,000 men, liedy and soul.
Realizing this we as a prosbytery again
emphasize : Our Imller In total abstinence,
in total abstineuce as the true ground or
personal temperance, and the utter oxtoriul extoriul oxteriul
natlon of the trnllie in plcohellc drinks as the
duty of civ II government; using tlie povver of
Christian conscience, public opinion and the
strong arm et civil law. e record our
thankfulliiess that the whole country It
awakening te a realizing sense of thu disas
trous domination of the liquor league, that
publle opinion Is rapidly crystallizing Inte
sure and mere stringent civil enactments for
the suppression nt the saloon, that Christian
conslceiice It Impelling geed people te like
advanced iiosllleus nil along the line et battle
and that the church or Christ in all Its
branches and the great majority of tlie pul
pltt et all denominations are uttering one
earnest, combined and hoIeiiiii pretest against
this sin and this tralllc.
We agree with the general assembly iu
saving that " lliose who knowingly rent
their premises for the tratlic, or endorse 11
censes which legalize It, nre reprehensible nt
accomplices iu tlie gtilltef the sauie." W here
such caset occur the perhontelleudlng should
le made te feel the heavy hand et chinch
centum.
We urge iijieii our various church sessions
greater earnestness and lldellty in keeping
tlie church free tiem blame Ueu this whole
question ; In eudeivnrt te diminish tlie use
and sale of liquor in their own vicinities and
in cultivating n puuiic opinion looking ter
ward te a cleansed country and a guiltless
people
As citizens el tlioceiuniouwoilth of Penn
sylvania and of the republic el lliose I'lilted
States, as sovereigns among n sovereign
peeple, we declare that ulvorce between civil
and lellgleut responsibility cannot be. What
(ied hath in this land joined together we may
net put asunder. Our allegiance is therefore
te moral principles llrst, te (silUk-al party
second ; nnd any organlilieu whatsisiver,
attempting te abrogate or limit our right te
vote against that which injures the individ
ual and the home, this nuisance and scourge,
we will most earnestly resist.
We horeby request our representatives in
the lewer house of our Xatlenal Congress te
glve favorable consideration te the bills new
mere pending, constituting a national com.
mission of inquiry in the workings and the
li Hits of the liquor tralllc, providing for torn tern torn
