Wesleyan Synod.
Per Press Association.
WANGANUI, November 23.
At a meeting of the West Coast Wesleyan Synod to day, resolutions re liquor trade were unanimously carried as follows:—(1) Our pa^t experience leads us to regard the n-de as a danger to ovr young people; i2j as a fruitful source of misery and degradation among the adult population; (3i as being subversive to business thrift and integrity; (4) as promoting habitual wastefulness, selfishness, and extravagance among the business men ; (5) as diverting money from legitimate business and family channels; (6) as the greatest hindrance to success of religious enterprise ; and (7) as unworthy of this free and enlightened people. We rejoice in the success resulting where no-license has been established, and we unite in earnest prayer that God's guiding blessing may attend the forthcoming effort at the polls to secure freedom to the whole land from tho evils of strong dilnk.
