¬

to be in the light as we can I

get it from Gods word and unmiti ¬

gated evil destructive in its work I

demoralizing in its tendencies and i

terrible in its results i

That it is essentially a crime breed-

eri

and is antagonistic to the best 1

I

good of the state the church and so-

cietyI

that it is one of the most pro-

ductivej

powers of covetousnesst

which is idolatry ii

2 Be it resolves that it is the I

beverage j

3 Be it resolved that we as a Baptist Association endorse the presentlocal option campaign in progress inMarion county and do what we canto aid said campaign j

izing the socalled blind tiger and de¬

sire the full enforcement of the law

So call thy fumigation KnightsThat they may gather around

Fasten thy mantle of royal smokePut on thy sulpher crown

Away away King Sunny JimAnd without a tear or sigh

Well see thee abdicate tliv throneAnd waft a fond goodbye

Dear Sunny Jim we wish to roamOn many a dark nights lark

And really Jim we do not wishTohave to get home by dark

Clinb down climb down Sunny JtDlA

And pass thy scepter bright-To King Jack Frost wfcoll reigns

To all our hearts delight
