TIIE 1111.1E IS NO\V DOME.
The report of the Temperance
Committee of Crnelph Conference of
the Methodist Church, bold at See
forth, }vas as follows :
"'Rrherens, the General Rules of
the Methodist Church, clearly and
explicitly forbid the buying, selling
or using of intoxicating liquors es a
beverage ;
"And whereas, tato General Con
Terence of rho Methodist church has
declared that our country is randy
for more advanced legislation in the
direetlun of the total suppression of
the liquor traffic, and that it is the
-duty of our Parliament to pas: pro.
hibitory 1nw that will brand the
traffic with a public condemnation ;
"Whereas, the principle of pre
hibrtion has been adopted and in.
corporated into the statute law of
this Dominion in several distinct
enactments, as (1) The law probib•
iting the sale of intoxicants to Ia.
diens ; (2) the law prohibiting eon
sale in the vicinity of certain _nub•
lie works ; (8) the clause of the
.Railway ACE prohibiting tho sale of
Intoxicating liquors to employees on
,duty ;
-"Whereas, by general Consent it
is admitted that these laws have
been enforced without difficulty,
and with very great moral and ma•
terial advantage to the commuui
ties affected by them ;
"Whereas, the principle of local
.option embodied in the Scott Act
hoe been faithfully and earnestly
tested by the friends of temperance.
with the results of demonstrating
(1) that even partial prohibition,
with all its dleabilities and Mutter -
emcee incident to local option, can
be enforced, and in proportion to
the effectiveness of such enforce•
.ment is exceedingly beneficial ; (2)
,that by reason of the limitations
and restrictions with which the pro•
:hibitory parts of the Scott Act are
.:hampered in the operation, and by
.reason of the liability of the Act to
Arinnial repeal, giving aid, comfort
and .hope to the enemy engaged in
'the traffic and keeping the cone.
=unity in a state of constant tug
certainty and agitation, the Scott
Act is not a satisfactory solution of
:she great problem of the liquor
�traffic ;
,'And whereas, the principle of
;licensing a traffic which is known,
\proven and admitted to he evil only,
and that continua ly, both in its
mature and ite effect, is admissable
.even for a moment.
-"Therefore we believe that the
:time is now come when the Parlia
:went of the Dominion should pass
.an effective measure to prohibit the
(manufacture, importation and sale
of all intoxicating liquors for bev-
earege purposes throughout the
whole Dominion of Canada.
'"To the end we would re -affirm
.our strong desire to co-operate with
tthe other chnrehee and temperance
organizations of the land in a cone-
.tined effort to obtain such prohibit.
cry legislation from the Dominion
Parliament.
"In order to facilitate such united
action we would recommend this
-conference to appoint a committee
of three to act with representatives
ofoafer churches or temperance or•
-ganizetions in this matter.
"We recommend that at our Fi.
alancial District meetings a Stand-
ing Committee on Temperance be
appointed for each district to co-
operate with other temperance or-
ganizations or act independently,
as may seem expedient, in the mat-
ter of educating public eontimont in
favor of total abstinence and pro.
hibition, by publics meetings and
otherwiee, said committees to re-
port at annual district meetings,
and their reports to be forwarded to
the conference.
"We recommend our ministers
-and laymen to oppose -by all oonsti-
tutional methods any Government,
political party or member of Par-
liament, who directly or indirectly
obstructs or opposes prohibitory leg-
islation.
"Finally, we reiterate the exhor-
tation of last year's report respect-
ing the neceeslty of mduoation as
well as legislation, Let us preach
on the subject, teach it in our Sab-
bath 'schools,, orgauize Bands of
Eope, urge the teaching of the tem•
,perance text book in our Public
schools, and encourage and co-op
crate with the W.C.T,U, and all
other temperance organizations in
the efforts to carry the temperance
banner to speedy, assured and Boni
victory."
The report was adopted by the
Conference.
