Miss Cleveland on the ROstrum- Some
Thoughts Suggested by Her ctnre.
In Juno, 1888, Miss Elizabeth Cleve-
land, present mistress of the White
House, delivered an address before the
Elmira, N. Y, Female college, which
the Presbyterian Evangelist pronoun-
ced "great,"-a deserved compliment
to an excellent woman. 1t was entitled
"a ltruistic Faith" and tor her illustra-
ton she took Chedidja. first wife of
Mohammed, who was rich, and much
older than he was when she married
him. When asked in later years why
he did not put her away ana ta Sooa
her best because she believed in him
when all men despised him. Chedidja's
faith made Mohammed.
There is faith in God, faith in self,
| and in humanity. The first produces
the others. Faith in humanity believes
that lite is worth living and worth
saving. You will have much hunger
and Thirst, will crave affection when the
bloom of youth is supplauted by the
ashen hue of age; will cry aloud for
help in infirmi.ies, nlust needs come, be-
| cause those on whom women rely,
though themselves powerless to relieve
| them of their intolerable aches, pains,
prostrations, sleepless nights of agony,
and DAVIS IF distress. -hecause Of the mar
rowness of their code and the selfshness
| of their purpose-restrain them from re-
sorting to those agencies which may lift
women to plane of greater usefulness,
and to nobler life.
MANY woman lacks the faith of
Chedidja. If they had faith in their own
reserve of physical power, confidence in
! the personal experience OF others would
follow and instead OF race OF suffering
mortals-slaves to the prejudices OF
those whose only interest in them Is
bounded by their professional tees-we
should see nobility of station reinforced
by nobility of mind, and robustness OF
life.
The power to rid themselves of the
aches, pains and desperate despair
which afflict them, lis in women, and
ought to come out You all have
countless amount OF testimony" Some
one will say to you, "Go on, and you
will conquer"
done! Have faith in their indisputed
experiences. We want more life and
fuller, and need all the help
were it not for the Chedidias.
There is much in good digestion to
keep woman sweet and lovable. There
is more in thorough action of the great
blood purifying organs-the liver and
kidneys, for II they are deranged, wo-
men cannot have the physical comfort
so craved and prayed for. To secure
this, the help they, need; the help that
thousands haye already used, and to
which they say they owe all they pos
sess, is Warmers safe cure. Mrs. Maria
G. Treadwell, Stamford, Connecticut,
(president of the State Woman's Chris
| tian Temperance Union), well known
leader, says, sit is the only thing which
seemed to reach my case.' These I'M
prejudiced thousands have blessed the
world because they have become Che
didias, who have felt it their duty to de-
clare their own faith and to inspire their
sisters with confidence in the extraor-
binary up-building energy of this won
derfuI discovery.
| Miss Cleveland has evidently an orig
| inal and fertile mind, and we are in
| debted to her interesting lecture, few
Thoughts from which we have copied,
for a text out of which the above sugges-
tions have grown.
