TIC first groat reason Why tLc churcIea ] O..

should it not bo that tho women should ltayo
found this mems which none OF the savauts nor
scientists had thought of?
wlnlo the Goycrnmcuts and tho press stood
aloof, tho movement was going forward to s,,c-
ccsB by the only great power which could change
the hearts of men and overcome their blind lid
intomperate pnssionB-t!la powor Of Loye. An
long us tho movement was going forward BY tilis
could only stand in hwo Of It and lon,l his Md

Another renson why We should 70 for

to prove TINT. while in large cities tic moyo,out

another way tho owl could bo kept under Tho
