The Evangelist's Talk to Women as wives
"A small Hint for "Circe.o


Yesterday morning fully 5000 ladies were in
attendance at the Pavilion to hear Sam Jones
sermon to women as wives. Rev MIR. Herrick
opened the meeting in prayer, and Prof T. o.
Excel sang The Lily of the Valley in his
usual enc voice and effect.
The text for the morning was, "But the fruit
of the spirit IS love, JOY, peace, long suffering
gentleness. goodness, faith, meekness, temper
ance; against such there is no law" The
speaker during his remarks upon the subject
said that there IS no more holy relation in this
world than the relation OF husband and wife
COD best gut 10 little child is good mother
ana to a man a good wife. And God never
gives man any other sort of wife, though
there are other kinds.
The speaker then compared the DEVELOPMENT
Of the fruit OF a tree to the Christian develop
ment in wives and mothers. he advised wives
to be patient in their home lives and by this
means they could easily contiol their husbands
He also warned them to be careful and not
select husbands for their daughters because
they were rich men, but to LEI. the daughters
have some say IN the choice. and If they were
sensible girls they would select true, noble hus-
bands whom they could respect and love. He
said no true wife would permit anyone to say
aught against her husband in his absence" He
gave pure, virtuous iove of wife for husband
and husband towards wife, SIS the germ Of true
happiness IN married life make your hCme
the pleasantest place on earth Tor 1our husband
and children
The speaker then told of a gentleman who.
on the anniversary OF his golden wedding, said
the true secret of his happy married lite was
that he begun light. He said the gentleman
told him that on the first morning OF his mar
ried life when he woke up he said to his wife,
Wife there are my clothes on one chair and
yours on the other; now get I'D and put ON
whichever you see fit, but whichever you dress
IN this morning, you must wear the rest of your
life. The wife put on the dress, and the hus.
band wore the pants through all his happy
married life.
There are women out there now" said the
speaker, referring to the distant portion of his
audience, " whose husbands are unhappy half
their married lives, because You have never
TOLD THEM YOU LOVE THEM.

will say, You dear, sweet old thing, how much
love you, honey 2 Did you ever call him that,
and that's about the sweetest thing in the
world. I have told the men the same thing: let
your wives know you love them"

Every husband in town ought to come home
and put his arms around his wife and say You

your home, and move your hand and tongue
Some OF you women would be the best wives
