Law Enforcement Urged
By Baptists
Newton, Nov. 1—The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted yesterday by the South Fork Baptist Association, now in session in
Lincolnton. This association, representing more than 8,000 Baptists, comprises
the counties of Catawba, Lincoln, and Gaston. Several strong speeches were made
condemning the illicit manufacture of blockade whiskey in the bounds of the
association:
“Resolved that it is the sense of the South Fork Baptist
Association in session assembled that the present intemperance situation is
alarming throughout its bounds. The moonshine business having reappeared with
intense vigor demands our immediate and uncompromising attention.
“And that it is the sense of this body that to be content
with less than 100 per cent loyalty upon the part of all officers is a
reflection upon and less than our whole Christian manhood demands.
“That we hereby give it as our deliberate judgment that all
rightful influence ought to be brought to bear upon all officers in every
rightful way possible and that all such shall have our full moral support.”
