for her illustration she took Chedld1e,
frst wife of Mohammed, who was
rich, and much older than he was when
she married him When asked In later

IN humanity. The first produces the
others. Faith in humanity believes that
life is worth living and worth saving
You will have much hunger and thirst,
will crave affection when the bloom OF
youth is sspplanted by the ashen hue OF

pains, prostrations, sleepless nights OF
agony, and days OF distress,-because OF
the narrowness Of their code and the SELF
ishness of their purpose, restrain them

only interest in them is bounded by their
professional fees-we should see nobility
of station reinforced by nobility Of mind,

reach my case These unprejudiced
thousands have blessed the world becausa
they have become Chedidjas, who have
felt 1t their duty to declare their own faith
and to inspire their sisters with confidence
in the extraordinary up-building energy
OF this wonderful discovery.
