This mission is one of love and our
object to do good; but we are met
with the inquiry, does the end justify
the means? We think it does, and
we cannot discover any violation of
the strictest rules of propriety, or
laying aside any of those traits Of
character which belong to true
woman.
We would expect opposition from
the sterner sex to the so-called "Wo-
mans War" but when so0naa'a lends
herself to aid our enemies in the
destruction of man, created in the
image of God, well may our faces
turn pale. We read an article writ
ten by alady, objecting to this move
ment, in which she admits that the
eUI of Intemperance had been hover
ing around her home, and then says:
II have been taught from my earliest
recollection, and always entertained
the highest regard and reverence for
every cause in which the Word OF
God was recognized as a standard
and basis, and never have 1 found
the passage in my Bible where I was
commanded to pray in public" In
1st Corinthians, 18th chapter and
fifth verse, Paul very emphatica ly
approves of women praying in pub
lie and says: "Every woman that
prayeth or prophesieth with her head
uncovered dishonoreth her head" "
And this caution wasgiven those who
prayed in holy assemblies.
We have been taught from our
infancy to reverence the Bible, and
we confess, that in its perusal duties
have been imposed upon women
which would be greater cross than
to kneel on the cold pavement and
pray God to avert the woe pro-
nounced upon the man who ''putteth
the bottle to his nsighbor's mouth.
In Judges, 4th chapter, we read that
the children of Israel did evil in the
sight of the Lord, and He sold them
into the hands of Jabin, King Of
Canaan. And Deborah, a prophet
ess, judged Israel at that time, and
the children of Israel came unto he'
for judgement. When she advised
Barak to go and fight Sisera, Baral
said unto her, "Jf thou wilt &c
with me I will go; but if thou wilt
not go with me thenI will not go
And she said, I will surely go witt
thee; notwithstanding the journe.
that thou takest shall not be fo
thine honor, for the Lord shall sci
Sisera into the hands of aconaGn. J"
Here was a Mother of Israel, {
prophecies, going before an army, t.

An Essay Read before the WO-

ton of HillsbOrO.
When the committee of our Lee
ture Association invited Dio Lewis to
lecture last winter, they never had
the slightest conception that he would
SOW the seed of a mighty revolution,
which would sweep over the land.
But we recognize in this, as in all
other movements, whose foundation
is the moral reformation of a COM
munity, the intimate connection be-
tween cause and effect. We know
that the power belongs to God, but
to accomplish His purposes, He uses
human instrumentaities; and we rec
ognize in DR.. Lewis, the energizing
power we needed here, to arouse our
latent energies to consciousness of
the fearful havoc Intemperance was
making in our midst.
In the great struggle which is
going on now, between interest, NOR
ality, and the genius of Christian
charity, new element of moral re-
form has been called into power.
And why should not woman bear aloft
the standard o; Right; Who SO well
calculated to persuade, and to con-
vince?
