Excerpt from Stories for Little Boys and Girls, About the Cold Water Army
There are, probably, very few children, in these days Temperance and Tee-totalism, who do not know what is meant by the "Cold Water Army." It is no such body as the United States Army or the Mexican Army, about which we hear so much at present; for while those are composed of stout men, whose object is to kill, whose appearance is terrible, and who are urged on by a spirit of hate, this army is composed of children, who aim to make alive, who present a lovely and beautiful appearance, and who are actuated by a spirit of love.
But I am not going to tell you what the "Cold Water Army" is, or is not. for all the little folks are no doubt well informed on that point by actual experience; but it is my purpose to narrate to you a story, connected with that body, which I hope may prove interesting, as thus I may be induced at some time to give you another.
