Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1891-08-27


New York and Brooklyn ground up last
wear about 10000 young women and
would like ito grind up about as manv
this wear. Out of all that long process.
sion Of women who march ON with M
hope for this world or the next, battered
and bruised and scoffed at, and flung of
the precipice, not one but might hayo
been saved for home and God and
Heaven. But good men and good women
are not in that kind Of business. Alas
for that poor thing! Nothing but thu
thread of that sewing girls needle held
her, and the thread broke.
| have heard men tell in public dis
course what a man is; but what is a
woman? Until some one shall give
better definition / will tell you what
! woman is. Direct from God sacred
and delicate gift with affections 81
great that no measuring line short az
that of the infinite God can tell their
bound. Fashioned to refine and sootbe
and lift and irradate home and society
and the world. OF such value that no
one can appreciate it, unless his mother
lived long enough to let him understand
it. or who in some great crisis of life
when all else failed him, had a wife To
nothing could disturb.
Now ! should not wonder if Won
trembled a little with a sense of re.
sponsibility when / say that there
hardly a person in this house but NAV
have an opportunity to save woman
1t NAV in YOUR case be done by good
advice or by financial help, or by trying
to bring to bear some one of Thousand
! ~ ;,H IF for
YOU find q woman in financial distress
and breaking down in health and spirits \
trying to support her children, now that
her husband is dead or an invalid, doing
that very important and honorable work \
but which is little pprecated-kccp
ing q boarding house, where all the n
guests, according as they pay small
board, or propose, without paying any
everything and hard to please, busy
yourselves in trying to get her more
patrons and tell her of divine sym.
pathy.
Yea, if YOU see woman favored olk
fortune and with all kindly surround,
ings, finding in the hollow batteries Of
the world her chief rcgalement, living
for herself and for time as if there
were no eternity, strive to bring her
into the kingdom of God, as did the y
other day q Sabbath school teacher
who was the means Of the conversion
Of the daughter of a man Of immense
wealth, and the daughter resolved NM
Join the church, and she went home
and said, Gather, | am going to JONI
the church and | want you to come
"Oh, no." he said Il never go WS
church" "Well," said the daughter
''if / were going to be married, would
you not go to see me married" And
he said, "Oh, yes" ''Well," She said
''this is of more Importance than that
So he went and has gone ever since
and loves to go. ] do not know but thai
faithful Sabbath school teacher not onIY
saved woman, but saved a man. Their
may be in this audience-gathcred from
all parts Of the world-there may be
man whose behavior toward womanhOOl
is periidious. Repent! Stand up, thOkW
masterpiece of sin and death, that | may
charge you AS far as possible maxi
reparation. Do not boast that you hay
her in your power, and that she cannC
help herself. When that line collar am
cravat and that elegant suit of ClotheS
comes off and your uncovered soul stand
before God, you will be better off If YO
save that woman.
There is another exploit You can do
and that is to save a child. A child doe
not seem to amount TO much. Iii
nearly year old before it can walk II
all. For the first year and a half il cam
not speak word For the first N
years it would starve if it had to ear
it's own food. For the first fifteen ycar

children. They are good for nothmass

things and keep you awake nights crylnY
Well, your estimate of child is QUII
different from that mothers estima

but no help came, and the brief para

life could be restored by purchase, h
much would that bereaved mother give
She would take ali the jewels tN

enough she would call in all her

But what are You going to do vi
those children who are worse Off than
