Carry Nation, a leader of the temperance movement in the U.S., was a Bible carrying, hatchet wielding Christian.
In 1889, Carry Nation and her husband moved to Medicine Lodge, Kansas. There she managed a hotel and he became a preacher for the Disciples of Christ church. She started a local branch or "union" of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, was its president, served as the WCTU jail evangelist, taught Sunday School, and attended to the poor and needy.
Carry was a strong-willed and domineering person who was not pleased with her husband's preaching:
"She therefore decided to guide and instruct his work. Not only did she tell him what text to use, but she sometimes wrote his sermons, including in them attacks on tobacco and liquor and other iniquities. While he preached, she sat in a front row and acted as helper, instructing him to raise or lower his voice, to speak slower or faster, and to make proper facial motions. When she decided he had exhausted his subject, she might step into the aisle and declare: 'That will be about all for today, David!' Sometimes he would fail to quit speaking whereupon she would walk to the pulpit, shut his Bible, hand him his hat and tell him to go home."
In Medicine Lodge Carrie was becoming increasingly radical and vocal in her views and this began to cause concern among her fellow Disciples of Christ. In addition to her bizarre behavior in church,
"She reached out to and ministered to the poor and the destitute, which was not always popular among her more class-conscious neighbors. She also claimed that she was receiving visions directly from God and that she had been baptized with the Holy Spirit. This was the last straw, and the Christian Church [Disciples of Christ] disfellowshipped her in 1892 for her views on the Holy Spirit."
