Religious ephemera, Undated
Scope and Contents
Among the religious ephemera are Bible verses, business cards supporting the Christian temperance movement, and stickers advertising the Woman's Christian Temperance Union such as “What you see with your eyes and hear with your ears proves that the thing most responsible for sucking money away from useful business, destroying efficiency, filling divorce courts and jails, and smearing highways with human blood, is drink.” The series also includes ephemera printed by the Union, such as a card to pledge abstention from alcohol and a "Matchless Book" outlining the dangers of tobacco and marijuana.
