Woman mssionating at home and abroad, is not
missing her mission. The way to win the world
to Christ is through the open door of the home
Through this door men cannot enter. But the
zenanas welcome the women. see no reason for
skeptc scorn. This new force is not yet trained
Our women not yet aware of either their privi-
eges or possibilities. See what Frances Willard
has done in marshaling her sex beneath the tenn
perance banner The rum power rocks on its
throne, resting uneasily orits badly balanced base
of skulls. Vast as is capital engaged in permanent
plants for making liquid hell-fre, it is uneasy It
is trying to sell out 1t is running on half time.
1t is forming trusts to keep the small dealers from
making enough to glut the market. This
kind of capital is being made to feel its insecurity,
because of the rising tide of indignation against
this traffic. Women have brewed this storm which
has driven the tides into every bay, estuary and
tributary river; and When it goes out it will bear
on its sweeping surges the barges that carry the
garbage of this dread traffic so far a-sea that not
stave or bottle will ever be washed ashore

norship of women, and by its educational processes
and the field for her awakening powers that the
church is furnishing vigorous, devout and heroic
mothers are holding sway over the traditional fancy
and sentiment that has made the feminine life
mere effervescence Or sparkle to please the whims
of men, She is now full partner in the firm of
husband and wife, and is managing the home bust
ness. Her hand swings the scepter as well as the
cradle. She is smiling and singing the gospel of
this progressive age into the souls of children and
they are growing up to be mothers men. "Vote
for the home against the drink help is the greatest
slogan with which determined force ever startled
the fears of the wicked. If 'the wicked flee
when no man pursueth," what will they do when
an army of women get after them? The pursuing
squadrons have wings as well as feet The air is
full OF mounted allies. ''Lo, am with YOU unto
the end'' is cheer-word from the great Captain,
who leads them on. The myrmdons of this
Apollyon may not hear the rustling of the pinions
nor hear the shout of the captains. When the
seers servant saw nothing but skies of brass, the
prophet saw the celestial legions mastering in the
air. Woman's faith sees what and where the dull
sight OF man can never penetrate Before her
raptured vision the clouds are scattering, and the
dawn of blessed sun is gliding the heavens, and
making earth to glow beneath the TRANSPORTING
splendor Show woman the direction in which the
divine finger points and she, like the unvaunted
Greek, cries 'Show me not how many the enemy
are, but where they are" Tell her the arrows Of
the enemy fly so thick that they eclipse the sun,
and undaunted, she responds, ''Then we will fight
in the shade" And fight she will. Nothing is so
brave as motherhood protecting her offspring,
whether it be bird, or beast, or woman.
