who Is mighty for delveranse.
Yet Notwithstanding the efforts already pu. forth in
this work, the speaker thought that woman was not
without guilt in this natter While man eDdeavors
compel obedience TO his laws, aud makes woman de-
pendent upon him. and echo Of his thouy hts-whie
has greatly spned in thus usurpng ths great pre-
rogaiive woman has greatly sinned in submitting to
this power. Woman has suffered her individuality to
be merged into name She forgets that God created
thtm equal she forgets that heavenly Father has
not made one to rule over the other She forgets that
she Is as necessary TO his happiness be Is to hers
They created 10 work handn hand bearing equal
ly the burdens Of life; and though may fail to do
duty here earth, yet win our Individuality be
recognized and held to account On the last day. The
plea often raised that il is immodest and unlaiyHke
that we are out Of our sphere IN thus battling against
the evils Of inteinperance will not avail In the eight Of
God, who has commanded that even one talent should
be put 70 good Use. ~ has created woman intelligent
and responsible and given her great work to do; and
wountoh her II she does not, unto him who hnders

The speaker next said that che proposedto show how
woman, by her own acts, hGd retarded the cause Of
Temperance And first, che remarked woman has
done much retard the Of Temperance by her
self partokng of stimulating drinks during lactaon
and thus transmitting 1t through the system Of her in

ard strength. But in this she sins from ignorance As

by presenting the intoxicating cup 10 her guests Not

hereafter, let not this guilt rest upon your soul
Another means whereby woman has retarded the
of Temperance is by using intoxicating drinks in
their culinary purposes. Such voluntarily yields
up her children 10 the Molooh of lntemperance Let
woman think this little matter-let
think that because she occupies high place in society,
the destroyer will pass her by Such not his course

trample them beneath his iron-shod hoos.
