Misc Cleveland ON the Rostrum Some
Thought Suggested by Her Lecture.

Thoughts Suggested by Her Lecture.
In June, 1883, Miss Elizabeth Cleveland,
| present mistress ot the White House, deliv-
| cred au address before the Eimira. n. Y,
Female College. which the Presbyterian
Evangelist pronounced "gres,"-a deserved
compliment TO an excellent woman. II was
entitled "Al'ruiSuc Fai,h." and tor her illus
trstiou she took Chedidjs first wife of Mo-
hammed. who was rich, and much older than
he WIS when she married him. When asked
in later years why he did not put her away
and take a Younger wife. he replied that he
loved her best because she believed in him
when all men de.pised him. Chedidja's faith
made Mohammed.
There is faith in God, faith in sell, and in
humanity. The first produces the Others
Faith in humanity believes that life is worth
living and worth saving. You will have
much hunger sud thirst, will crave affection
when the bloom of youth is supplsnted by the
ashen hue OF age; will cry aloud for help in
inirmities, must needs come because those
on whom women rely, though themselves
powerltss to relieve them of their iutolerable
actes, pains, prostrations, sleepless nights of
agony, and days of distres because OF the
narrowness Of their code and the sel6shness
OF their purpose-restrain them from restor-
ing to those agencies which may lift women
to plane OF greater usefulness, and to a no.
bier lite.
Many a woman lacks the faith of Chedidja.
II they had faith in their own reserve of
physical power, confidence in the personal
experience of others would follow; and in
stead of race of suffering mortals-slaves to
the preju iices of those whose only interest in
them is bounded by their professional fees
We should see nobility OF station reinforced
by nobility OF m nd aud robustness Of lite.
The power tc rid themselves of the aches,
pains and desperate despair which affl ct them
is in women, aud ough, 10 come out. You
all have countless amount OF testimony
Some one will say to you "Go on, and you
will conquer"
"aow?' Do as your sisters have done!
Have faith in their indisputable experiences.
We want more life and fuller, and need all
the help we can get. Man would fail were it
not tor the Chsdidjss. There is much in
z ,od digestion 10 keep a womSn sweet aud
lovab'e. There is more in thorough action of
the great blood purifying orSans-'he liver
and kidneys, for il they are dsrsnged women
cannot have the physical comfort so crsv"d
and prayed for. To secure this, the help they
need-the help that thousands have already
used and TO which they say they eve all they
possess-is Warmers safe cure Mrs Maria

Miss Cleveland has evidently an original
and fertile mind, snd We are indebted to her
interesting lecture-a few thoughts from
which We have coped-for text out OF
which the above suggestions have grown.
