The place of next meeting will now be determined and announced. A
meeting of the executive committee will also be appointed by the
president, to confer upon the details of the work. A very good quorum
for the executive and for the union, consists of such members as
shall be present at any regular or special meeting, due notice having
been given of such meeting. A motion will now be made to adjourn, and
carried. The President says, "The meeting is adjourned to meet"--
naming time and place.
The doxology may be sung or a short prayer offered at the close.
COMMITTEES AND THEIR WORK.
Executive Committee will plan the general work of the Union, and
attend to any special business that may be brought before them by the
corresponding secretary. This committee will meet weekly, and report
through their chairman to the Union.
Committee on Finance may be composed of ladies and gentlemen, who
will devise ways and means for raising funds for the general work.
The finance card and envelope is one of the best methods by which to
educate the people to _systematic_ giving.
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.
Residence.
FIFTY CENTS A YEAR AND SIGNATURE TO OUR PLEDGE CONSTITUTE MEMBERSHIP.
As the months come round, take the envelope bearing the name of that
month, put in the amount pledged, and deposit it as directed by the
person circulating these cards.
If you have neglected any month the empty envelope will remind you
of it. Don't destroy it--use it--put in the money and deposit it.
The LORD loveth a cheerful giver.
Committee on Literature will secure suitable temperance literature,
and distribute it in hotels, cars, reading-rooms, depots, stores,
restaurants, at public meetings, from house to house, etc.
