METHODISTS BAR DRINKERS FROM OFFICE
Quoting* the Australian Temperance Advocate we learn: “North Carolina Methodists at their annual Conference, acted to bar persons who drink or favour liquor from positions of church leader-
ship. “A resolution adopted by the Conference stated: ‘Any person who drinks liquor or \votes to legalise liquor, or in any other manner supports the liquor traffic, should not consider himself fit or qualified to hold office or occupy any place of leadership in the Methodist Church’.”
