LEGE IN ADDRESS
CHURCH NOT ENFORCING AGENCY
“Drinking In England Is No Sin So
How Can It Be Sinful
In America.
ALBANY, N. Y., June 24. (/P)—Dr.
Bernard hidings Bell, president of St.
Stephens Episcopal College, at Annan
dale, declared “It is no sin to drink in
violation of the Volstead Act,” in an
address before the Albany Cathedral
Summer School.
He said: “Prohibition is absolutely
contrary to God’s law. The Episcopal
Church is not a law enforcing agency,
and God’s laws are not limited by
geography. It is unquestionably no
sin to drink in England, so how can
it be sinful in America? If sin is a
transgression of the law, the error
must be in the Volstead law.”
