Presbyterian Tenet

Last week, the Roman Catholics, who seldom have anything to say on Prohibition.-- made clear their position on Birth Control. Simultaneously Presbyterians, who do not make Birth Control an issue, issued a statement on Prohibition which is virtually a Presbyterian tenet. At Philadelphia, the administration committee of the Board of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. met in executive session and re-dedicated itself "to a program of education which will make America the most temperate and the most law-observing nation in the world." Copies of this statement, prepared by their moderator, Pittsburgh's Hugh Thompson Kerr, will be sent to every Presbyterian church in the U. S.

--When Prohibition was young, the late Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore and Cardinal O'Connell of Boston expressed their disapproval.
