EDITED BY MISS IDA EWING.
“ For God and Home and Native
Land.”
If any have doubted the wis¬
dom of the North Georgia Con¬
ference concerning its refusal f o
indorse at its last session the
Woman’s Christain Temper¬
ance Union their doubts will he
removed when they have read
the following comment which
appeared editorially in the Un¬
ion Signal (the organ of the
W. C. T. U.) of March 23, 1893:
“The North Georgia Confer¬
ence (white) of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, voted
down a resolution indorsing the
W. C. T. U. on the ground that
the organization favors wo¬
man’s suffrage. Twenty years
ago a noble woman said to a
learned D. D. of the Methodist
Episcopal church that the firm¬
ly believed that the Woman’s
Foreign Missionary Society of
their common church was doing
more for woman’s, though in¬
directly, than all the woman’s
suffrage societies in existence.
The good doctor replied that if
he believed that he should want
to see the missionary “society
abolished. The hest comment
we can make upon such ac¬
tions and statements is a quo¬
tation from Dr. McLaren,s com¬
ments upon a recent Sabbath
school lesson. The subject is
the apostolic council in which
the momentous question was
decided whether Gentiles must
fh’st become Jew’s before they
could become Christians. Dr
McLaren says : “ How much
Christian narrowness would he
blown to atoms of men v’ould
do as James did, and let God s
facts teach them the width of
God’s purposes and the com¬
prehensiveness of Christ’s
church : w’e do wisely when we
square our theories to facts;
hut many of us go to work in
the opposite way and snip down
facts to the dimension of our
theo ric. ”
In the issue of March 10 th a
correcspondent writing from
Atlanta, Ga., on “ The Woi’k of
the W. G. T. U. in the Develop¬
ment of Women, ” prints the
following:
“ Men of one idea in a new,
hut extremly literal sense, de¬
nounce the W. C. T. U. as a
Women’s Suffrage Association
It has, indeed, done more for
the cause than any'suffrage as¬
sociation in the world. We do
not revolutionize for mere ideas.
So long as woman’s suffrage
was argued chiefly as an ab¬
stract right, it made converts
slowly, bnt when woman found
herself handicapped along lines
of practical work by her
cal disabilities, the cause of her
enfranchisement made
I have the profoundest pity,
unmiugled with contempt, for
the small souls who see
ing but ‘personal amhition’
the demand of the noblest wo
manhood of this nation and
England for the baliot with
which to protect themselves
and their dear ones. Sorely
against their will the great ma¬
jority of white-ribon women en¬
tered the realm of politics be¬
their enemy was there
and they must fight him where
was, not where he was not.’
Baffled and turned back at ev
ery step by tho taunting cry,
1 You can’t vote, ladies, you
can’t vote, ’ the once timid host
has lifted its banners and firm¬
ly replies, ‘ But with God’s help
we will vote, ’ The nobler man¬
hood of the nation is taking up
the cry, for they, too, are com¬
ing to see that by the aid of
woman s vote alone can moral
reforms he secured. ”
In the same issue a corres¬
pondent writing from Bartavia,
Ark., on “ The Union of Re¬
forms, ” discussses the labor
question, woman’s suffrage and
prohibition, and reaches this
conclusion : •
“ So iu every thought, and
every wish for the good of the
race these reforms intertwine ;
they are united. Let reformers
learn this fact. Then when they
gather in convention there will
he no useless bickering or hid¬
den jealousy as to which is
greater or which shall have
precedence. The reforms ate
united, let the reformers clasp
hands and realize that an ob¬
struction to one is the postpone¬
ment of all, and together only
can come to the birth-right. ”
A letter in the "Union Signal
af March 9, 1893, is authority
for the statement that Miss
Frances E. Willard, in her late
speech at Denver, said : “ The
temperance army, the labor ar¬
must unite die. ”
my or
Such a current of woman’s
suffrage doctrine as these ex¬
tracts indicate pours through
the Union Signal every week
into many of our churches. A
part of the money of local un¬
ions goes into the treasury of
the national union and thus
these doctrins are furthered.
Officers of State unions which
are not formerly committed to
woman’s suffrage, privately
work in favor of the doctrine.
Lecturers traveling under the
authority of the general organ¬
ization advocate the doctrine in
our churches and hall. Such
methods cannot fail to bear
fruit, and when they do, the
Methodist Church, South, will
suffsr from it more than any of
all the other churches, as the
Methodist Church, North, lias
suffered. Mark these words.
The Methodist are ardent
temperance reformers— more
zealous than any others per¬
haps. At any rate the Metho¬
dist churches’and pulpits have
supported the W. C. T. U. more
than it has been supported by
other denominations. By con¬
sequence tlie Methodist church
will be the chief sufferer from
these evil tendencies which are
permeating the W. C. T. U.
when they come to full fruition
We should learn something
from the recent bitter exper
iences of the Northern Metho
dists. Largely through the acts
of Miss Willard and her follow
the M ethodist Episcopal
Church, North, is now confront¬
by a question involving its
very oganic structure, and it is
evident that however that ques
tion may he finafiy settled the
settlement will lead to division,
God forbid that our Southern
Methodism should admit with
in its walls a Trojan horse from
which forces destructive of its
peace, unity and power should
issue. 1 love the cause of tern
perance and prohibition,
just because I do, I am unwill¬
ing to imperil the harmony of
our church (the best temper¬
ance organization in the land)
by following the leadership of
revolutionary women suffra¬
gists and “ reformer. ” Tito
church which blessed our fath¬
ers and is the hope of our child¬
ren, the church which has done
more for temperance than all
the “ reformers ” who have ever
appeared on this continent must
not be endangered by complica¬
tions with movements of doubt¬
ful aims dangerous tendencies,
simply because such move¬
ments stand for temperance
along with many other things.
The temperance cause itself de¬
mands that our church shall not
he involved in such “ entang¬
ling alliances. ”
If the woman’s suffrage move¬
ment should get a foothold in
the South whore the race ques¬
tion is always with us, ; prohibi¬
tion would become impossible,
and every other gootl cause
would be lost. The worst deeds
of the dark days of Reconstruc¬
tion ‘would he re-enacted and
evil results net known even in
Reconstruction days would fol¬
low. Onjjany theory of human
posabilifcy it is difficult if not
impossible to see how church or
state could survive, in such, a
time. The South already suff¬
ers from too much suffrage;
with negro women voting what
would not come to pass ?
It is idle to say the Southern
unions have never indorsed wo¬
man’s suffrage and never will.
From what states do most of
the extracts 11 lave quoted come?
If Southern unions do not sym¬
pathize with such views why
do the}’ elect officers known to
he urging these views i r.vately?
Will the influence of the official
c rgan, the Union Signal, and
tho words of the National Pres¬
ident, Miss tWilliard, bear no
more-fruit of this sort among
us ?
But suppose the hest that the
State unions in the South stead¬
ily refuse to endorse woman’s
suffrage while the National Un¬
ion with which they are vitally
connected stands for it and con¬
tinues to propogate the doc¬
trins ; and suppose woman’s
suffrage is finally adopted by
the Northern states, what wiil
be the relation of ; tlie Southern
states to tho case V Will they
not he forced to adopt it or suf¬
fer from it '’•hen adopted. The
Constitution of: the United State
in defining national citizenship
says, “ The electors in each
state shall have the qualifica¬
tions requisite for electors of
the most numerous branch of
the state legislature.
If the Northern states should en¬
franchise women, their women
would vote in national elections,
and w r e should therefore have a
congress before very long in
which there would be a majori¬
ty of woman’s suffragists. Sup¬
pose they should begin to con¬
jure with these vague but in¬
flammable terms, “ freedom, ”
“emancipation, etc.,” (always
captivating to the ears of North
era fanatics), and in order to
secure a party advantage
through the votes of negro w r o
men in the South, suppose they
should adopt an amendment to
the Constitution providing that
“ the right to vote shall not be

denied or abridged by tho Uni¬
ted States or by any state ou
account of sox, ” what would he
our condition ? Let no one im¬
agine this supposition is far
i etched or this possibility ro¬
ut ote. 1 his very amendment
lias been introduced in every
oiio of the last lialf-dozen con
grosses, and in the Senate of
the United States. There are
open and ardent advocates of it
and there is a standing com
mittoe on woman’s suffrage.
The simple truth is that tho
leaving of the woman’s suffer
age feature of tho W. 0. T. U.
to the determination of tl o
State unions is a skillful meth¬
od to spread the doctrine w’itli
out iucuriug tho opposition
which otherwise it would pro¬
voke. Most of our good wo¬
men who have co-operated with
the w. G. T. U. have no sym¬
pathy with tho doctrine, hut
they arc being misled by plausi¬
ble women and a few ambitious
men. Let them awaka to the
peril with which our church
and the temperance cause, and
society in tho South is threaten¬
ed, and resist tins subtle move¬
ment before it goes further "and
becomes more powerful for evil
Let them separate from the Na¬
tional Union and organize their
own Christain Temperance Un¬
ions, local, state and interstate
if such a connoctional union is
necessary.
Prohibition can be won in the
South if we can keep it disen¬
tangled from the follies and fa¬
naticisms of the North. But if
it is identified willi women's
suffrage and other such radical¬
isms, it will he irretrievably lost
as it is in Wyoming where
they have had women’s suffrage
for years, and where they have
never put a temperance reform
measure on the statute book,
Lot our pulpits, our churches,
our conferences withdraw sup¬
port from an organization, the
further indorsement of which
weakens our force in behalf of
temperance and endangers the
peace and power of Methodism.
This wo should do “for God
and home and native land ’’
