buzz of lot of women IS tongues after
meeting.
stlf we men have run this world 1900 |
years and done so little it is time we were
giving the women chance to DO some
thing
Mr.. Jones here compared the state OF |
things to a boat running around
aud around on one wheel. 'Put the
women TO work and divide the power
and the old boat will go smoothly ana |
swiftly ~ the port of millennial glory. |
Some of the best women in the world |
have been preachers. Mrs. Judson .
life is one of the graudest sermons ever !
preached. l know what 1 am saying
amt popular. You women Will run
after the North and after France to get
vour fashions from these OLD
Nancy-fancy French women; but
why not take up with the
good things. A woman went 10 city TO
live, and her little girls were dressed IN
red flannel, and they went home ana
told their mother they were out of fash
ion. She said: Children, 1 came here
TO set the fashions, and not to follow
them. Let us set the fashion Of being
good IF you would set fashion OF
reading the Bible, some of these OLD
women would set up all night to read
the Bible They say Sam Jones has GOT
no propriety. Why, l have got more pro-
priety than any preacher you ever sa"

Brother Wells, in low voice: "Bralns

when every woman will walk up 10 the

I would rather see my daughter vote

room in the arms OF a dude. believe
in woman s rights, but, like DR.. j. u.
Holland, don't think she has the right
TO be the father of a family.
s'What are the women of Fort Worth
doing? Got missionary society In the
Methodist Episcopal church, SOuthT No.
The Methodist Episcopal church has one.
You will never get to the standard God
requires till you quit thinking so much
of your three meals day and quit think
ing so much of dress. If God has saved
your soul aud you are doing nothing you
are worthless in the world. Women IN
the Baptist church have never thought
enough Of Christ TO organize themselves.
While there are women in the world per-
ishing for Christ, hitched up with bTutes
and driven by a husband and made to
support him in mis- idleness. Then see
what Christianity has done for American
women, and you say l don t take any
stock in these things. Dong nothing!
Bro. Wells, il must be a great show to
see YOUR women at church on uress
parade. I want you to hunt that crowd
down. What are you helping your hus-
band do? When the day comes when
women push the cause of Christ you will
see the men doing better. You
women can rack around ana
work yourselves nearly to death
for bazaar and you are q sight. You
are whales then. Ask you to do work
for Christ and you say, Eve have never
done those things You are like wo-
man on the train who said 1 am lady
OF high prejudices. Then I said, You
are a LADY of low religion. They 90 to-
gether. She told her husband insulted
her. You've been among the bung tung
first cut. Well the first cut is slab they
throw away. What are you doing for
God? Every church in this town ought to
have its band OF praying women meeting
every Thursday. 1t is astonishing what
you Fort Worth women can do III the
next six months If you will try. The
pastors are to blame some. Brother
Armstrong, you got a missionary So
ciety?"
awe have a weekly prayer meeting
a nrsver- meeting with five to twenty out
of a membership OF 500.
sIWen, that is a weakly thing, sure
enough. -
This fell pretty hard on the Fort Worth
pastor.
"God believes in you, and wants Il
work through you, and you wont let him

MIR. Jones here paid q glowing tribut
TO the work Of the Benevolent assocla
ton.
From Fort Worth he skipped In sec
ond, and was piling up praises OF
Margaret, the Bread Woman, of New
Orleans.
Mr.. Jones thinks the women, If organ
ICED and resolute, could put down IN
saloons with their abominable accessories
and hold them down forever. he salo
ssWomen are too proud. Then you ar
afraid of each other, Afraid OF crit
cism! Good many men IN the sam
condition. 1 wish 1 could see tn
women go to work on Hell's Hal
Acre. When man falls he can rise
When a woman falls she is down forever
The other women will sit down and tai
and talk about her, and never lend
hand to help her up. l wonder If any
YOU ever spoke a word about Christ to
lost woman. Every lost woman has bee
lost through the villainy of some old, 10
down, mean man. Jesus suffered II
me. What have I suffered for Hin
Nothing.
~ am talking to women who new
struck a lick for Christ. Yet you vi
sing, Happy on the way. You are
dandy. You wives, If your husbar
