Resolved, We, the pastors rep

such worldly amusements and to
ise their influence in inducing
others to abstain therefrom. We
would further urge each member
to habits of self-restraint and self
denial, cultivation of personal
piety and wOrks of piety and be
nevolence in behalf of others
through which the Christians will
find ample fields of usefulness and
will assuredly realize the truest
happiness.
