The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1889-05-01

Money alone expended in organized char
ity will not answer the purpose. 1t is the
personal watchcare. and oversight of re-
aned and good women that makes effectu.
al the contributions and provisions for in
dusirial schools, asylums, and retreats.
The great network Of Christian benevo-
lent organizations, entirely conducted by
women, which bind together all the sec
tions OF our broad land would be inopera-
tive and shertlived II It were not for the
army Of thoughtful, consecrated Christian
mothers behind them. These things are
not kept alive by impulse and spasmojic
interest. A century ago there did not ex-
ist In this country Woman's Missionary
Society. To-day every Christian denomi-
nation Of any prominence has its Woman's
Home and Woman's Foreign Societies.
"The Woman's Christian Association"
and the Woman g, Christian Temperance
Union" have not only local but national
and international organizations. In eve,y
large city may be found the significant
sign; "The Woman's Industrial FIX
change" and many cities like Cleveland
and Buffalo have the "WOman's Educa..
tional and Industrial Union," which pro-
vide manual training with mental and re-
llgious culture and social ent nt,rtainment.
The part Of woman in the time Of war
has been no less salutary, helpful, and
heroic. "The Woman's Relief Corps"
with It's benifcence followed the organi-
Lation ofthe"Grand Army ofthe Republic" /"
Just as her gentle mlnistrations followed
every victory or defeat on the field, and
found the way where suffering had entered
camp or hospital. In literature, as edu-
Gators, in positions Of trust, in business
ranks no greater progress has been made
than that achieved by women in the last
century. Often II was the mother who
furnished the incentive, and by great self
sacrifice provided the means for the liber.
al education Of the son " ho became dis
tinguished. Her anxieties and moral fore
cast have cleared his path Of besetments
that unaided he would not have withstood
All honor 10 the mothers OF our country
as well as the fathers thereof

The Mothers Of Our Country,

To-day so many just and compliment.

HIS Country" and to the men Of his time
who laid so we'll the foundations OF this
Republic. The Christian faith and ex-

leaders among our forefatbers are themes
for commenda,ion and congratulation.
Down In the front Of one OF these patri-
otic audiences, gathered for worship on
this centennial morn, tenderly helped

is beautiful and patriotic one. The

stars and stripes floating in the Kansas
breeze from the school buildings of this
city and county and believes that it
would be appreciated alike by pupils
and patrons. No city in Kansas has
yet adopted the plan; let Abilene be
