The subject CT this discourse was: nThe
Women Who Fight the Battle Of Life
Alone" and the text WAS from Proverbs
xiv. /: every Wise Womsn Buildeth
Her House" DR.. Talmage said:
Woman, mere adjenct to msn. en- SD
penolX TO the masculine volume. an an
pendsge, sort Of atterthought, some
thing thrown in 10 make things even
that is the heresy entertained and implied
oy some men. This is evident 10 them.
Wonan's ins;gn ficzDce as compared 70
man is evident to them, because Adam
vas first created aud then Eve. Thew
don't read the whole story or they would
mo that the porp5ise and the bear and
the hawk were created before Adam, SO
that this argument drawn from priority Of
creation might prove that the sheen apd
the dog We're greater than man. No.
Woman WAS an independent creation and
was intended, If she chose, to live alone,
to walk slone, act alone, think alone, snd
fight her battles slone. The Bible saws
it is no. good for man TO be alone, sut
never says it is not good for woman to be
alone, and the simple fact is tnat many
WomeR who are harneSsed for life in the
marriage relation would be thousand-fold
better of il they were alone. God makes
no mistake, ard the fact that there is such
large majority Of women in this land
proves that h intended that mullitudes
OF them should &c alone.
Who are these men who year after year
hang around hotels and engine houses
and theager doors, and come in and out
to bother busy clei ks aGd merchants and
mechanics, doing nothing even when
there is plenty TO do? They are men sup
ported by their wives and mothers. If
the statistics OF any OF uur cities could be
taken on this subject YOU would fad that
vast multitude Of woman not only sup
port themselves but mascalines. A great
legion of men amount 10 nothing, and Z
woman by marriage lnaDacled to one OF
these nonenti1ies needs coincidence. 4
woman standing outside the marriage re-
letion is several hundred thousand times
better CT than 6 womsn badly married.
Many bride instead Of q WreS!h Of Or
ange blossoms, might more properly
wear bunch Of Hettles End nightshade,
and instead Of the Wedding Msrch, q more
appropriate tune would be the Dead
Es1c 10 Saul, aud instead OF q banquet
or confectionery SnG ices there might be
more appropriately spread 3 table covered
with apples of Sodom, which are outside
fair ana inside ashes.
MSny an attractive woman OF good
sound sense IN other things, has married
one of these men to reform him. What
was the result? Like when dove motto

DIV after the vulture had declared ne

love and cherish till death do Us part "
Rnt one day the dove ia her
FIGHT saw the vulture busy at
csrcsss and cried, "Stop that did you
not promise me that you would quit your
carnivorous and fiji by habits if married
you?" Eyes" said the vulture, "out II
YOU don't ike my way you can leave,
and with one angry strike OF beak ana
