“The floral emblem of the World’s W.C.T.U. is the water-lily. The roots of this blossom are in the mud, but its white radiance comes from its passion for the sunshine; and the home finds in it a true emblem, because, only as the sunshine of love and truth keepj its atmosphere wholesome and pure can little children hope to grow up according to the law of God.” If we can’t inherit a good name, at least we can do our best to leave one. — Thackeray.
