From: Malcolm Dean Magee <[log in to unmask]>

    Regarding the subject of American Evangelicals and alcohol I have been out
of the loop due to a hardware failure on my computer.  However, if these
sources have not already been mentioned I would include a discussion of the
subject in Henry F. May's "Protestant Churches and Industrial America", New
York, Harper and Brothers, 1949.  There is also a series of articles in the
Princeton Review during the 1870's debating the topic.  I don't have the issues
at hand but they can be found on line via the University of Michigan.  It was a
hot topic as the issue of prohibition was being raised.  The Presbyterian
church, or the part represented by Princeton, was initialy opposed to the idea
of prohibition but seems to have slowly come around to the idea.  The articles
are illuminating.
