¶11. In a prosecution under the Penal Code of 1895, § 438, for carrying liquor to a church, an-instruction to the jury to the effect that if the defendant carried the liquor to a place “in such immediate proximity to the church mentioned in the indictment as to make it readily *473accessible to such persons as bad assembled there and who desired to use the same,” it would be a violation of the law, was not erroneous. Bice v. State, 109 Ga. 117 (34 S. E. 202).
