#001 The Worlds Congress Auxiliary Scrapbook, p. 0268
First Report of Secretary Stearns of the National
Temperance Society.
A GREAT SUCCESS ALREADY ASSURED.
58 Reade Street, New York, December 15th, 1891.
Hon. C. C. Bonney,
President of the World's Congress Auxiliary ofthe World's Columbian
Exposition, Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir: The National Temperance Society and Publication House,
in carrying out the plans for a World's Temperance Congress, which were in
part formulated and promulgated before the decision was made to hold the
Columbian Exposition in Chicago, desires to work in perfect harmony with the
plans of the World's Congress Auxiliary, and in addition to the holding
of our own special Congress, under our own officers, with arrangements for
day and evening meetings, also to unite in the popular Union meetings, to be
held under the auspices of the World's Congress Auxiliary, and help to make
the occasion the greatest gathering of the world's hosts of temperance workers
ever held.
I enclose preliminary call of the World's Temperance Congress Commit-
tee of our Society, and also desire to report what has since been done to fur-
ther this object.
Under instructions from our Society's World's Temperance Congress
Committee, I visited Europe last summer, conferred with many prominent
workers from many countries, and secured promises from all of hearty co-
operation in the movement. I attended the International Convention of the
Independent Order of Good Templars, held in the city of Edinburgh, Scot-
land, when representatives from fifty-two Grand Lodges were present, repre-
senting the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Nor-
way, Sweden, Denmark, Isle of Man, Africa, India, New Zealand, Queensland,
etc. This order represents 418,000 adults, and 160,000 juveniles. The follow-
ing resolutions were unanimously adopted:
1. Resolved, That we most heartily endorse the call of the National Tem-
perance Society for a World's Temperance Congress, to be composed of all
friends of temperance without respect to organization, creed, sex, or color, to
be held in the city of Chicago during the World's Columbian Exposition in
1893, and recommend that the R. W. G. Templar and the R. W. G. Secretary,
together with five other representatives to be appointed by the R. W. G.
Templar, be the representatives from this body to the proposed Congress.
2. Resolved, That we recommend that each Grand Lodge throughout the
world be requested to appoint delegates to this proposed World's Temperance
Congress.
3. Resolved, That the Executive of this body be authorized to confer with
the World's Congress Auxiliary of the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and
secure one day to be set apart and known as "Good Templar Day," and that
