PLEDGES FOR TEMPERANCE WORK.

Dear Friend.--The evils of intemperance are sufficiently startling
to cause every good man and woman to seek for their removal. Many
homes are ruined by it; many children robbed; many men and women
reduced to drunkenness and death; even those not yet touched by it
are not sure that they shall remain exempt. It threatens every child,
every home, every youth, every man.

The Women's Christian Temperance Union, mothers and sisters, to whom
home means so much, have banded themselves together to do what they
can to oppose it. We do our work among the children, by teaching,
distributing temperance literature, etc. We seek out the intemperate
and ask them to reform, assisting them with pecuniary aid when
necessary. We use our influence to purify the homes and to put away
social drinking customs.

We are willing to work. Will you not help us with your means?

Please mark with an X upon the sum you will give EACH month of the
coming year. Be it little or much, it will aid us. And we do wish,
that every woman to whom this appeal is made, would become a member
of our W.C.T.U., and encourage us by coming into our meetings.

Please write your name.
