Talk by the Rev. T. G. Dunning, Ph.D., General Secretary of the Temperance Council of the Christian Churches.
The Churches have long been dissatisfied with the old methods of temperance work and have recently done a good deal of thinking about new methods. Among recent attempts was the calling of a standing conference of Denominational Youth Leaders and members of the Temperance Council of the Christian Churches' Executive. Examining the needs of the time, they drew up a four-point policy. This statement marks a new beginning in temperance work. Dr. Dunning talks about these four points and the place of temperance work in the modern world.
