UNCROWNED QUEEN
WAS FRANCES WILLARD
(Excerpts from the Willard Memorial
AddresB delivered by Rev. A. G.
Shriver for the W. C. T. U. of Cor
dova at the Presbyterian church.)
Every mountain range has in it a
number of outstanding peaks; so each
character. Among those of the nine
teenth century Frances E. Willard
stands head and shoulders above any
of her sex. The first time the flags
of New York and Chicago ever hung
at half-mast for a woman was when
Frances Willard passed away. Hers
is the first and only woman’s statue
in the Statuary hall in the capitol at
Washington. Her name is selected
for the Hall of Fame in New York
city. All great movements center
around a personality, whether she be
an Esther, a Queen Victoria or a Flor
ence Nightingale. When God wants a
great moral leader He first makes a
great mother, and the mother of our
uncrowned queen laid deep the Chris
tian foundation for her daughter’s life
and work.
Frances E. Willard was born at
Churchville, N. Y., in 1838, and died at
Evanston, 111., February 17, 1898. She
was trained at the Northwestern Uni
versity, ana traveiea ana siuuiku
abroad. She was dean of several col
leges for, women, and a teacher of
esthetics. She refused an offer of
$2,500 to become local president of
the Chicago W. C. T. U., where she
did not receive a salary at all. Next
she became corresponding secretary
for the National W. C. T. U., and then
its president in 1879, and then she
was elected president of the World’s
W. C. T. U. in 1883, and held both
offices until her death. She was the
fairest flower of temperance chivalry
and fought under the banner which
bore these words: “Love: by this
sign conquer.”
A great general is one who can or
ganize, lead, drill and impart to his
troops the purpos’e and the principles
of the coming campaign. Frances E.
Willard possessed all the powers of
a statesman to organize; all of the
qualifications of a general to lead, and
all of the unselfishness of a philan
thropist to love. She took the W. C.
T. U. organization in its infancy and
shaped its policies and made it the
world power it is today. Her great
statesmanlike powers are shown in
her dividing the work into sixteen di
visions, with forty sub-departments,
and these departments again are di
vided into from one to fifteen divi
sions. She inspired and trained women
to handle every phase of the world
wide movement for the uplift of man
kind. No woman ever attempted and
put through a program which re
quired such executive skill, patience,
perseverance and unwavering faith in
her fellow-workers and in Go«l.
The work of the organization is
based upon three (great principles,
namely, agitate, educate and organize.
Let us look at the work of the
matchless leader who comprehended
something of the length and breadth
of that which must be dealt with in
a campaign against the liquor traffic.
The W. C. T. U. secured laws In each
state of the Union making compulsory
the teaching in public schools of the
nature and the ill-effects of alcohol
and other narcotics. The W. C. T. U.
Is the pioneer in mothers’ meetings.
Through its efforts thousands of girls
have been rescued from a I'ifte of
shame, and tens of thousands of men
have signed the temperance pledge.
Through its efforts every state but
two has passed laws for the protec
tion of girls under 16 and the recogni
tion of the rights of women and chil
dren. They secured the appointment
of police matrons to care for the un
fortunate women wHo are cast into
jail. The W. C. T. U. women are
pioneers in anti-cigarette legislation
and in securing curfew ordinances.
It aided greatly in banishing the army
canteen; assisted in the passage of
such laws as will bring the greatest
good to the greatest number of citi
zens. They have experts at the head
of each division of their work, and
the results of their work are far
reaching for good. The recent prohi
bition victory in the passage of the
great moral Magna Charta for Amer
ica,- the eighteenth amendment, is
largely due to the untiring efforts of
these brave and patient women.
The W. C. T. U. has established
Its work in fifty-nine different coun
tries, and la assisting in suppressing
evils of every kind found there.
To Frances E. Willard the world
owes a great debt for the unselfish
use of her time and talents for the
benefit of others of this and other
generations. The Individual who
treats lightly the claims and the work
of the W. C. T. U. Is only revealing
his or her Ignorance of the purpose
and the work of this wonderful move
ment for the uplift of mankind in the
world. Every woman interested In
the betterment of the social order
should affiliate herself with this great
organization.
