Ne one force has done SO much for build
ing up pure public sentiment. which every
body agrees is essential, rs the Weman's
| Christian Temperance Union. Some Of my
solemn old Presbyterian friends are pro
foundly distressed for fear these women
| will get ''out Of their sphere. and do some
thing desperate. Until they actually do
something desperate have refused to 80
into commissions and stay awake at night.
So far have not been profoundly shocked
by what they have done. They are shocked
to hear a women pray in meeting | have
been SO often shocked to hear men swear,
that rather enjoy being shocked by hear
ing woman pray. advise political par
! ties, and especially our enemies, carefully
to Investigate what sort Of a human being
| 4 woman is.
| In the first place woman never knows
when she is whipped. Her husband may
| come home and maltreat her. bat she goes
ON with her work mending his clothes and
daruiug his stockings precisely as before
| So an election may come aud everybody
else may think that it is final and everlast-
| ing defeat to everything this Woman's
Christian Temperance Union has sought
for. but without waiting to get rested you
will find them holding meeting the next
week. looking after those same voters,
mending the holes and darning the worn
places politically just as before. More
| over. a woman never knows when she is
tired. Her husband will come home and
go 10 bed and go soundly to sleep. but she
will sit up. with occasional maps, and nurse
the sick baby. keep away from it the mos
quitoes, and be up the next morning with
the breakfast all smoking hot when her
husband is ready to come down stairs.
So these political parties, after an cleo
tion is over, will quietly take rest and
sound sleep. and leave the devil 10 brow
beat officers and hoodwink judges by fine
criticisms on the phraseology OF laws, and
evil nuns unchecked.
