Of my flock - warn those who run with the world
To e the same excess of riot in these things, that
they presume not TO come 10 the Holy IaoIt.

who Is not prepared 10 rCuoUucc such things, with
other denominations OF d" the world. the flesh. and
the devil" Let all such choose deliberately whom
they will serve and If salvation be worth striving
for, let them be persuaded 20 a sober life, to self
denials, and to the pure and innocent enJoyments
which the Gospel not only permits. but which II
only can create. Ii is high time that the lines
should be drawn between worldly and godly liv-
ing, and l see no use in a Lent that Is not sancjlhed

WHERE WoM,N's POWER LIEs-The true power
of woman is the resistless power of the affections.
In asserting this. an l attempting to mask the
great question of our day with = Il glittering gen

claim which woman may make for Il more extern
sive recognition of her rights. or a larger field for
her powers? No / am not doing any such thing. /
Let woman do whatever her faculties can achieve
let her go wherever her instincts demand-if
she truly follows her instincts, l am sure she will
not go wrong L am sure OF this also, that
wherever man may lawfully go, woman may law
