Rev. Hendrie Rengvist was the first
temperance promoter in Finland Ia 1858,
and called themselves reasonable friends.
First regular temperance society In 1887
were three sisters named Hellman. One
of these was school teacher and while
teaching saw the evil OF intemperance
among children. These three sisters
pray God to help. That summer Q
steamer got lost on Finland shore and In
that steamer was Col. Bratty from Swe-
den, who came to city ball and talked to
the people and children about harm Of
drink, and made pledge for them which
they all agreed by help of God to 60
without drinking. The next summer
they had big meeting called, but only
seven DRINKS came to the meeting. In
1888 man by the name of Verkko 10
the city of Turko got up the first tenn
perance newspaper. Same year a man
named Granfleid wrote q temperance
book that helped make lots of temper
ance sentiment. Twenty years later
these three sisters started when they had
only seven DRINKS for meeting. Now
there was held big temperance meetings
In many cities. Now has grown to be
more temperance people than those who
were not. In 1877 young peoples tenn
perance societies were formed.
