1st. Resolved, that the clerk, as well as the owner, of the store, in which is carried on the traffic in intoxicating drinks, is out of his place, when preaching the gospel; and is especially offensive, when presuming to preach it to the "Church of Peterboro" - a Church, which has ever maintained high and strong testimonies against this accursed traffic, and a large share of whose members forsook their former fellow worshippers for no reason more than for the reason, that many of those fellow worshippers refused to unite with them in such testimonies.
2d. Resolved, that we are thankful, that, with the single exception of the individual referred to in the foregoing Resolution (,and even he ceased to reside among us, when he became such exception,) none, since their identification of themselves with the "Church of Peterboro," have been guilty of voting for anti-abolitionists, or of drinking intoxicating liquors, or of contributing to the manufacture of them, or of connecting themselves with stores or other establishments, in which is carried on the traffic in intoxicating drinks.
3d. Resolved, that the foregoing Resolutions be read in our public assembly, to-morrow.
