Historical Note

The Christian Civic League of Maine was established in 1898 in Waterville, Maine. Its purpose is to educate the people in all that pertains to good citizenship; to arouse and maintain throughout the state of Maine a reverence for law; to secure the enactment of the best possible laws, their impartial execution, and the choice of competent officials to that end; and to suppress the liquor traffic. The League is committed to the following six ethical components: the power to give, the power to live in the light, the power to love hard questions, the power of informed choice, the power to love enemies, the power to forgive. The superintendent speaks in the pulpits of the churches all over the state every Sunday traveling from one end of the state to the other.
