Temperance progress reported to General Synod aims at state and local bans
A Presbyterian General Synod report praises temperance gains across the United States. It cites eight million six hundred thousand banished saloons last year and notes prohibition states covering over ten million people, with more than a quarter of the nation living under prohibition now. The piece lists cities enacting bans and cites court opinions limiting liquor sales, while urging members to abstain from the traffic and to educate and influence others.
