In Congress, October 12, 1778. Whereas true religion and
good morals, are the only solid foundations of public
liberty and happiness. Resolved. That it be, and it is
hereby earnestly recommended the several states, to take the
most effectual measures for the encouragement thereof; and
for the suppressing of theatrical entertainments, horse-
racing, gaming, and such other diversions as are productive
of idleness, dissipation, and a general depravity of
principles and manners.
