 Principles. We believe in the coming of His Kingdom whose service is perfect freedom, because His laws, written | in our members as we'll as in na- ture and in grace, are perfect. con- Verting the soul
 We believe in the Gospel of the 1 Golden Rule and that each mans habits of life should be an example, safe and benefcient 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 with equal freedom.
 We believe in the prohibition oi the liquor traffic, the opium and tobacco traffic, the gambling house and haunt of shame
 We believe in a living wage, ar S-hour day, ill courts of coneillia- ton and arbitration, in Justice as opposed to greed in gain, Tn Peace on earth, good will to men.
 We therefore formulate. and foI ourselves, adopt. the following 1 pledge, asking our sisters anc brothers of a common danger and a common hope to make common cause with us in working it's reason able and helpful precepts into the practice of everyday life: T hereby solemnly promise. God helping me, to abstain from all dis titled, fermented and malt liquors including wine. beer and cider anC to employ all proper means to dis courage the use of and traffic ir the same"
 To confirm and enforce the ra- tionale of this pledge we declare our purpose to educate the young to form a better public sentiment to reform, so far as possible. by re- ligious, 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 will fully transcend no law of pure anC wholesome living. And, finally. we pledge ourselves to labor and te pray that all these principles founded upon the Gospel of Christ may be worked out into the GUS toms of society and the laws of the land
 We will give the questions anC answers later that will illustrate lin mind the formation. growth and development of this. the largest hand of organized women that ex- ists.
