1. Concerning alcoholic beverages and the liquor traffic we recommend as follows:
(1) Believing that one of the surest ways toward the deliverance of our country from the curse of alcoholism and toward bringing about the return of national prohibition is through local option elections, we recommend that the Christian people of the various states continue to promote and participate in the holding of such elections in the several political units (precinct, county, and state).
(2) In view of the availability of beer and other alcoholic beverages in and about army posts, and the agitation now being carried on to permit the sale of beer on the ships of the Navy and in Navy yards, we recommend that the Convention reaffirm its opposition to the sale of alcoholic beverages in and around all Army and Navy posts, and protest against any movement to extend their availability to men aboard ships.
(3) We recommend that we commend the studies of alcoholism being made in schools and colleges, both public and private, and urge full support of such enterprises as The Yale Institute of Alcohol Studies; and that we urge further that the educational approach be increasingly promoted in our churches, church schools, and denominational schools and colleges, looking toward the day when the sentiment and conviction of the nation will again banish the liquor traffic.
(4) We deplore the social popularity of drinking among church people, and urge that in the discharge of Christian responsibility our people adopt the pattern of total abstinence and withdraw from social groups that encourage drinking.
