Sound the JuBiIee''-What 1t Has
Accomplished.

What part had the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union in bringing
to pass National Constitutional Pro-
hibition.N
At every Jubilee meeting over the
ratification of the Federal Prihibi-
ton amendment glowing tributes
have been paid to Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, referred to
by speakers as "Our Mother" in the
prohibition work. This, our organi-
zation, in very truth has been.
The mighty faith and heroic self
sacrifice of the women of the crusade
swept over the nation like wildfre
and was the forerunner of the organ
ization of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.
Every woman joining pledged her
self to total abstinence, to the tenn
perance training of the children and
to constant agitation against the IL
quor business.
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union blazed the trail for moral
and temperance legislation in legis-
lative halls and in Congress. In Feb
ruary, 1875, Frances E. Willard pre-
sented TO Congress huge petition
asking for National Constitutional
prohibition, and never has that work
been slackened.
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union has a broad foundation
that includes many phases of social
services. Taking unique motto,
"For God, for Home, and Native
LandT and later, enlarging it to 'For
God, and Home, and Every Land"
it early established departments of
work in "do everything" policy
which makes great responsibilities
obligatory in the protection of home
and country. Because of this, the
Jubilee Program plans are made.
