Twilight Club

Twilight Club

The Twilight Club is an organization which was founded by Charles Wingate in the late 19th century with the intention of countering the moral decline of society by bolstering spiritual and ethical awareness. The Twilight Club was inspired by the British philosopher Herbert Spencer. Although granted honorary membership, in a letter to the Twilight Club Spencer denied credit for the group. The name of the club refers not only to the fact that their meetings were held at the twilight of the day, but also to the evening twilight of the 19th century and the dawn of the 20th century. Their stated purpose was that of ethical and cultural renewal of their world.
