The story of the Temperance Movement, from the signing of the first pledge, in a cheese merchant's shop in Preston in 1832, down to the present day; with some of the hymns, ballads and recitations composed in support of the cause.
Sing a Song of Saturday,
Wages thrown away,
In the gas-lit 'public'
Faltering footsteps stray.
When the home is reached at last
All the money's gone:
Isn't that a grievous sight
To have to look upon?
