Alexandria. lie VIII deliver tho paper
promptly and regularly every afternoon Mt an
early hour.
Yesterday was n very warm day, but the
churches open had their usual summer con-
gregations-very few mon, but n large number
of ladies'. When Christ was on earth tho number
OF women followers was larger by far than tho
men. so II is now. The women, too, have
more genuine, sticking piety than mon; they
are more heroic. For Instance, the warm
weather that will drive well.paid, well.fed
and petted minister from HIS pulpit and to
tho country or the seaside, Will have no effect
on pious woman, although she has to work
hard for a living for herself and children.
She may have to work day and night during
the week, but she will be found I'm her place In
church ON Sunday, and tho strolling minister
the church officials have happened to pick up
TO- I'LL the pulpit OF the beloved regular pastor
who Is that moment snuillng the mountain air
or reading his Bible by the mighty sea, will
have In her most attentive listener. "As 1t is
on earth 30 1t Will BIO in Heaven" the theolo-
CLANS say, but they will lind the thing
won't WORK 80 we'll in that country.
Then Will tho poor sewing -women, factory
women, ''shop girls, as they are called, and
the oppressed generally, have chance. Well,
