CHICAGO. March 1S.-About 4. 500 ladies
assembled at the Casino rink to-day to hear
sam Jones, who, after the opening exer-
else, arose and led in the worship, ''Oh,
God, make brave and save the husbands
and sons and brothers of these mothers.
wives and sisters" was the burden of his
brief prayer. Mr.. Jones related briefly
how he first became interested in the Or
phans' home work in Georgia He reminded
the mothers and wives present that it would
De pure, unadulterated charity for them to
help him IN bearing this burden which he
nad shouldered and had borne for five years.
The young ladies then took up the collec-
ton for the Georgia Orphans home. and. all
praise to the women of Chicago, it was a large
contribution. Mr.. Jones began: There are
no other relations on earth so sacred as
those or husband and wife. The greatest
curse In the history of Chicago is its loose.
unscriptural divorce laws. This gives rise
to social rottenneSs. Many women are not
married much. but if you have made a bad
marriage stick to it all the tighter. The
most dangerous characters to the home are
DusyDodys, be they mother-in-Iaw, neigh
Dors or old lovers, for they rush in between
man and wife where angels fear to tread.

husbands until the little fellow is present.
There are 10, 900 bleeding hearts in Chicago
to-day, because Christian girls have married
worldly husbands. An old maid from
choice have no respect for. One who is
such not from choice has my sympathy.
GODDESS WOMEN
are monstroSities which l cannot under
stand. No man can long be much better
than his wife. The speaker then read
from the Scripture: THE fruit of the
spirit Is love, joy, peace, lOng-suffering,
gentleneSs, faith" ETC., and resumed: The
ultimatum OF all vegetation is fruitage.
The oak gathers vitality to produce the
acorn, the apple tree takes in from earth
and air to produce the bud and the ripened
fruit. The ultimatum of all right living is
this Christian fruitage. Gather from the
Bible, the prayer-bOOk, the doing good, ali
the vital fluids, and pour them into youf
life. The first on the list of the fruits of
the spirit is love. l am sorry for any
woman who is not married as a clear case
OF love. Mothers, you try to chose for your
daughters. The dude takes your eve
often. Don't advise your girl to turn her
back On that boy with the old wool hat and
lots OF sense, and who will yet own his
blocks In the city for that perfumed, easy
living, gaily-dreSSed dude. If YOU can heIu
is better than the aristOcrat who will grind
a heart or crush it. What are mansions
and servants, and carriages at the door, if
yOu cannot trust your husband out OF sightF
Give us more of that love which lasts.
Alexander tried to conquer by might, and,
after shedding rivers OF blood, he died a
conquered man. Napoleon tried to con-
quer by the sword and died in exile. Jesus
Christ told Peter to put up his sword, and
then he went on Calvary and died to con-
quer the world by love, and the world is
coming to his feet. Does
SUPREME LOVE
rule your home, oh, wife, love for home,
for husband, for children, for all the world.
Love carries its point. My wife and
sometimes bristle up and tell each other
plainly what we think. and sometimes
think differently, but let me catch tear of
love on her cheek and kiss her and give
up at once and would do anything to please
her. Oh. sister, are you mad at some one
to-day? If you are find her before the sun
goes down and be her friend and love her.
l would rather pray to God with a stolen
sheep on my back than to pray to God
while l was mad in my heart at some one
The next fruit of the spirit is Joy.
Oh, sister, be joyful. Look happy when

fighting. When they learned it from you
and your husband. Let those women who
do not quarrel before their children stand
up. About 25 out of the 5, 900 stood up
Now let those who do quarrel stand up.
Two lone women about several hundred
feet apart arose to testify their domestic
combative proclivities. Well, I guess the
women who have children are not here to-
day. Now let me say concluding word
right along the line of temperance. You
