Woman's Christian Temperance Union minutes, Grinnell, Iowa, 1913-1928

Page 56

W.C.T.U. met Jan 17, 1933 at the home of Mrs. Robt Lincoln. An unusually large number was present.
Devotionals were in charge of Rev. Stewart. After a moment of silent prayer Rev. Stewart led in prayer then read the Scripture from the Book of Isaiah - portions from the 5th-11th and 28th chapters.
The group then sang the 4th stanza from each of the following songs - "America the Beautiful" and "America" These stanzas fitted particularly well with the Scripture just read. After prayer was again offered the group sang a stanza from "This is My Father's World" and all the song of "Lead On - Oh King Eternal."
This being the birthday anniversary very little time was taken for the business meeting. The bill for $2.50 for the printing of the programs was presented. It was moved and seconded that the bill be allowed. Motion carried.
It was moved and seconded to allow $5 for work in the three funds of W.C.T.U. work. Motion carried. Secretary then read the petition to be presented to the Legislature. It was then passed among the members to sign. Report was given by committee on placement of prohibition posters that six were placed in store windows.
Miss Park reported that at Rev. Fowler's suggestion she sent for free cartoons. Program of the day was in charge of Mrs. John C. Lincoln. Joseph Conard gave a ventriloquist act which was thoroughly enjoyed.
A reading "What the Old Man Said" by Nellie Lincoln was very well given and was much appreciated. Mrs Humphrey, playing her own accompaniment, favored us by a vocal selection 'The Glorious City." Warren Lincoln then played a guitar selection. Rev. Royal Montgomery then gave a fine address on "The Outlook of Prohibition" telling of its past achievements, the outlook for the future and urging us to hold on to all we have gained; get prohibition out of politics and go forward in Faith. He lent an optimistic note by saying "Right is on our side and God is on our side." Tea was served by the hostess, mrs. Geo Lincoln and Nellie Lincoln poured.
Jessie Lincoln Sect.
