Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address of the President Lillian M. N. Stevens: Before the Thirty-Seventh Annual Convention My Dear Comrades and Friends: As our National Woman´s Christian Temperance Union assembles for its thirty-seventh annual convention, we are profoundly stirred by the thought of our large membership, who are in the midst of a great, world-wide struggle for the complete overthrow of the liquor traffic. It is an electric and a progressive age. Mighty forces are contributing to our success. Each day the cable, the telegraph, the telephone, the up-to-date daily, the friendly cartoonist, the magazine writer, the sermonizer, the thoughtful educator, the medical expert, the scientist, the railroad magnate, the factory owner, the athlete, the autoist, and even the aviator are pointing out total abstinence as the way of health and the way of prosperity. The hearts of our noble W. C. T. U. women, from the first, have been illumined by this truth and now on white wings it encompasses the world. "The Lord gave the word" - the glad word of total abstinence and prohibition - "the women that publish the tidings are a great host." I salute you, beloved comrades! You have achieved! You are to achieve still more and more in days to come, for there are heights before us which we must attain. I salute you of Maryland who already have made us so happily welcome. For five days at least your Maryland will be "My Maryland" - our Maryland! I salute those who have never before attended a national W. C. T. U. convention as well as those who year after year have been coming up to our W. C. T. U. "Harvest Home." Delegates, ex-officio members, officers, all one in heart and purpose - with one accord you all have come together with praise on your lips and prayer in your hearts that we may advance the interests of the W. C. T. U. and so help to complete the overthrow of the drink habit and the liquor traffic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
