Loyal Temperance Legion

Loyal Temperance Legion

The Loyal Temperance Legion was the children's branch of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. It's slogan was "Tremble, King Alcohol, We Shall Grow Up". It published an English-language newspaper for children called The Young Crusader, which was edited for some time by WCTU president Anna Adams Gordon, a strong believer in the need to interest children in temperance at a very early age.Citation
