project was launched. The idea was to call into existence an organisation which would embrace Unions of Christian Temperance women workers in every civilised country in the world. The "World's W.C.T.U." was therefore organised, to which was affiliated not only the Unions in America but also the large and influential body known as the British Women's Temperance Association.
The new organisation was fortunate in its selection of officers, who were both gifted and enthusiastic. Under their direction several able women were sent out as "round the world Missionaries." By this time the Union had greatly enlarged the scope of its labours.
