Men who Win women.

God has go made the sexes that women
like children, cling 10 men; lean upon
them for protection, care and love; look
up to them as though they were superior
in mind and body. They make them the
suns Of their system; they and their chill
dren revolse around them. Men are
gods, If they only knew it. and women
burning incense at their shrlnes. Wo.
men therefore who have good minds and
pure hearts want men 10 lean upon.

is foil of kindness to all; one who treats

time to be frivolous with her; always dig

done unkindly 70 my mother, and 1riGt-

There is q deep meaning in this. Our
offences against God and our fellow men
are far greater in the omission Of duIies
than in The commission Of sins. Let any
one think it over faithfully, and Il the
weight OF condemnation does not rest
