Position of the W. U. T U.

Mrs. E. PURCUPILE,

We, as President, find it nect to detine the true M the \V. C. T. U. The Resolution adopted by the executive committee, at Indianapolis, does not pledge the organization, as such, to the support of any i>xrty; but gives to each Union, or to each individual, liberty to work for the suppression of the Liquor Traffic, according io their judgment, or the dictates of conscience. It is a time for vigorous, united and general work against the Rum Powerand for the protection of our Husbands, our Children, and our Homes. The general work of the W. C. T. U., should be kind, charitable, and free from partisanism or sectarianism-, and its object is such, that ali. may unite to aid and assist in. this glorious work of education and reformation. The relation of the W. C. T. l\, to. Christianity, is that of defender: to the home, that of protector : and to the nation, that of puriii -r.
