Klrst Ioaaniuob as tbe question of

on at tbe coming June election be It
resolved that this Sunday school con
vention of Wasco county In session at

Third Tbe preBeut session of Ban-

b i it lesovled that we express to the

view of tbf-ir lull attendance and we
all express our thanks for tbe genuine
wood bere leoeived, and especially to
Ihe good ladles o the homes of Hood
Hirer for the cordial welcome and
kindly einertarnineut.
Fourth Believing that no work
of great Importance to its constituen
cy such 4 uur state Sunday aobool
work can succeed without iolormation
ii ud an intelligent acquaintance with
tbe Qeld aod Ihe workeis, we heartily
nomiteud and nigd our Sunday school

Fifth Wberea, tbe Sunday schools
ot our ftute bave tbe privllge of
studying a temperance lessou once
each quarter Iu tbe present interna
tlonai series, tie it resolved that we
recommend that each school uae this
opportunity to impress the principles
ot temperance, uot only with regard
to the use of liquor, but also with re
gard to tbe use of tobacco and pro
tanity; and that opportunity be given
our youog people to sign pledges of
abstinence from all these thioga that
are su detrimental to their Intellect
ual and moral development, and thus
commit them in early life to a higher
and purer ideal, both oivic and relig
ious
Sixth Whereas, tbe aaloon Intel
ests are proposing to make ineffective
our present local optiou law by an
amendment to our state constitution
giving cities and towns the sole rights
to regulate aud control saloons and
kindred interests by a vote ot the few
regaidless ot he will aod vote ot tbe
many, be it resolved that this conven
tion of christian workers vigorously
oppose tbls proposition and urge every
christian voter to oast ; his ballot
against it In tbe approaobing state
election.
Seventh The association extenda a
vote of thank to the trustees ot As
bury M. K church, ot Hood River,
for tbe use ot the churcb and to all
who bave contributed to tbe pleasure
and good of tbe convention.
