Founded in the 1890s and published by the Frederick L. Chapman Publishing Co. in Chicago, the paper advocated social reformism through Christian ethics and was a vocal supporter of the temperance movement. Although primarily concerned with religious matters and social ills, some of the newspaper's content veered on the anti-Semitic in its denunciation of Eastern European immigration.
