Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thumb Nail Sketches of White Ribbon Women: Official To White-Ribboners Round the World: Thumb Nail Sketches will always be associated in the minds of W.C. T.U. women with the beloved name of Julia A. Ames, under whose able superintendency the first edition was issued in 1891, only a few weeks before her promotion to heavenly service. It is therefore with a feeling almost of intrusion that the present editor, even at the earnest request of those who knew Miss Ames best and loved her most, undertakes the task of bringing out this new and enlarged edition, giving to the book the more comprehensive character demanded by the increasing forces and widening influence of our organization. Its purpose is not so much to emblazon the name and the fame of the persons herein "sketched" - though incidentally it cannot fail to do that - but rather to serve our workers everywhere by making them better acquainted with the personality of their leaders while those leaders still remain with us. We hope it may assist local unions in advertising speakers and perhaps induce Press superintendents to print from time to time some of these brief sketches of representative white-ribboners. We regret that the book does not include biographies of more leaders in "other lands than ours," but our friends will understand that the limited time given for its compilation is the reason for the omission and that we hope to remedy this defect and perhaps many others in a later edition. It may truly be said that the sins both of omission and of commission which may attach to the work are the result not of want of will, but rather, want of skill; that its faults must be ascribed not to the lack of earnest endeavor but rather to the lack of infallibility on the part of the editor and of those who by their contributions and their counsel have so kindly aided her in this undertaking. With the hope, therefore, that its faults will all be forgiven and forgotten we send the little book on its mission.
