som etimes think that praying band of our

negroism in this State. The women OF the
West are accomplishing much good III checking
the great evil of dram selling, and if needs be,
an army can be mustered on Delaware soil
that will visit the neRrOworshippers, and in
all sincerity, pray with them until induced to
abandon their wicked designs; meet them at
their houses, interest their wives and daughters
in the matter; meet them at their Conventions;
pray with and for them, untIlshame if nothing
else, shall cause them to take down the black
flag. Women can accomplish much when fully
aroused.
