WOMAN woMANi
Editor Messenger


There is a preposterous idea
adoat IN Congress shat your hum
bic servant is one Of those speoi-
mems Of We lords Of creation that
considers woman scarcely above
medioority." A great mistake, We
fair ones. Who could conceive Of
anything more beautiful, mere
lovely or more Heavenlike than a
congregation Of the white robed
creatures! The Office Of woman is
not the same as that Of man, but il
is equally as great. We all know
that il is woman that shapes the
destiny OF the world. The one
that rocks the cradle rules the
world. 1t is true they do not GENE
TO the front, but the fonder behind
the throne is as great as the fond
er on the throne. Does the Kings
and Mobiles Of earth deserve all the
honors because it has fallen to their
lot to be Kings and Noblesg Who
gave birth to shem, rocked them
in their cradles and watched over
over them by day and by night
during their infancy Who has
watched over them during their
youthful days and cherished the
fond hope that they would be an
honor to their country and to their
parents! Is it not fond mothers
that do all this? Yes, and even
more. How oft have we seen
a grey haired father whose
locks were white as snow, whose
steps were slow and trembling give
up the fond hope that his only son
would be the staff of his declining
years, while we hear the good old
mother say 81 have not struggled
all these long years to raise my
child for naught; he will yet honor
me, my prayer has ever been that
my son should be an honor to me
during my declining years and so
shall it be or my whole life is a
failure"
Man is not capable Of exercising
that love that woman exercises and
he that triAes with her love is
british.

Conference.-The wife of one Of
my customers was terribly afflicted
with a loathsome skin disease, that
covered her whole body. She was
confined TO her bed for several
years by this afiiiction, and could
not help herself at all. She could
not sleep from a violent itching
and singing Of the skin. The dis
ease baffled the skill Of the physi-
clans who treated it. Her husband
began finally giving his wife Swifts

improve almost imediately, and in
few weeks she was apparently
we'll. She is now a hearty, hne-
looking lady, with no trace Of the
affliction left. Yours very truly,

added to the interesting statement

to have been written by about for

recorded in the Old and ffty-One
in the New Testament-total los.
The shortest verse in the Old Tes-
lament is Remember Lots Wife. "
There is one in the New Testament
as short as John XII, 85, in point Of
of words, but in letters, viz: Thess.
