That there may be better knowl-
edge OF the origin, history and differ
ent lines Of work now carried ON by
the w. G. +, L. we propose to place
before the reader a "Declaration of
Principles" of this society; also an
swers to questions relating to lis ORR
gin, growth and the various lines OF
work which is being so nobly carried
on at the present time, and we trust
that 1t may be the means Of bringing
the reading public more in touch and
sympathy with our work for the Mas
ter.
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
We believe in the coming of His
Kingdom whose service is perfect
freedom, because His laws, written in
our members as well as in nature and
in grace, are perfect, converting the
soul.
We believe in the gospel OF the
Golden Rule, and that each mans
habits of life should be an example
safe and bcneficcnt for every other
man to follow.
We believe that God created both
man and woman in HIS own image,
and, therefore, we believe in one
standard of purity for both men and
women, and in the equal right Of all
to hold opinions and to express the
same in the home, on the platform IN
the pulpit and at the ballot box.
We believe in living wage; i'm an
eight-hour day; in courts Of concila-
ton and arbitration; in Justice aS op-
posed to greed of gain; in ''peace on
earth and good will to men,"
We therefore formulate, and for
ourselves adopt the following pledge,
asking onr sisters and brothers of a
common danger and a common hope.
TO make common cause with us, i'm
working its reasonable and helpful
precepts into the practice of every
day life.
| PLEDGE.
hereby solemnly promise. God
helping me, to abstain from all dis
titled, fermented and malt liquors, in
GLIDING wine, beer and cider as Il
beverage, and to employ all proper
means TO discourage the use and Traffic
of the same.
TO confirm and enforce the rationale
of this pledge, we declare our pur-
pose to educate the Young: TO form a
better public sentiment; to reform, So
far as possible, by religious, ethical
and scientific means, the drinking
classes to seek the transforming power
of divine grace for ourselves and all
for whom we work, that they and We
may willfully transcend 10 law OF
pure and wholesome living: and fin
ally we pledge ourselves TO labor and
pray that all these principles, foundc
upon the Gospel of Christ. may b,
worked out into the customs of soci
ETY. and the laws of the land
