World’s Women’s Christian Temperance Union

In 1874, the W.C.T.U. was bom in the U.S.A. —born while the Pentecostal fires of The Crusade were still burning in the breasts of the old Crusaders. In 1879, Frances W illard liecame its National President. She visualised a World Union, and under her wise guidance the British Women’s Temperance Association united with the American W.C.T.U. to form the World's Women’s Christian Temperance Union, whose first President was Mrs. Bright Lucas, a sister of John Bright, the British Statesman, and in 1891 the first World Convention met in Boston. Miss Willard was elected World President, and was succeeded by Lady Henry Somerset, who was followed by the Countess of Carlisle. Ihe Objects of the Union are to help in creating a strong public sentiment in favour of (a) Personal purity of Life; (b) Total abstinance from the use of narcotic i>oisons; (c) Protection of the home by outlawing the trathe in alcoholic liquors, opium, tobacco and impurity; (d) The suppression by law of gambling and Sunday desecration; (e) The enfranchisement of the women of all nations; (f) The establishment of Courts of National and International Arbitration, which shall banish war from the world. Its Aim is (1) World Peace; (2) Personal and National purity of life; (3) The abolition of all licensed evils. Its condition of membership is the signing of a pledge of total abstinance from all intoxicating liquor, and an annual subscription of 2/7.
