The girls may expect the room open
ed up and teachers to assist them this
next Saturday. The inclement wealth
er for two Saturdays and other hind
RANGES the last Saturday especially the
loss of the key to the room-prevented
their meeting.

1t is well for pilgrims on the road to
heaven to keep their eyes on Christ. Be
sure that all your zeal is through loyal
ty to Christ. Life is warfare; be sure
you go to battle to fight for the cause
of God, and not that of self. Failures
along the ranks should bring to the 10y
al soldier sorrow of heat; but never
acknowledgements. He must be all the
frmer. Such soldiers are promoted
Victories follow battles.

Those people living near enough to
Medicine Lodge to come to the Mission
school, which meets every Sunday af-
ternoon at 8 O'Clock at the court room,
will be cordially received. Come with
out money and without price. Come
with your ragged, patched and dirty
clothes. Clothes of all kinds are filthy
rags In the grave, but souls have been
bought with the precious blood of
Christ, and are priceless and precious.

Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow?
Who hath cententionp Who hath bab-
blings? Who hath wounds without
cause? Who hath sadness of eyes?
They that tarry long at the wine; they
that go to seek mixed wine. To the
above the spirit says: Look not then
upon the wine when it is red, when it
giyeth his color in the cup, when it NOV
eth itself Alright. At the end, it biteth
like serpent, and stingeth like an ad-
der. Prov. %, %, 80. 81, 80.

Owing to lack Of space, the INDEX
did not publish all the article on "Wom-
an" last week. Our readers will find
the rest of it below:
WOMAN.
o, woman thou art blessed, even in
thy great sorrows. Thou art the moth
er of our Lord, and it is not recorded of
you that one word or look of yours ever
indicated unkindness to Jesus. You
were not called to follow him, but you
did 1t. He knew what you we're and
would be to him. He wrought his first
miracle at your request. The bible re-
cords his fearful curses, but not one
ever fell to your portion. Lovingly,
tenderly, was one rebuke given to one
poor woman whom men were wont to
stone. TO have good woman for a
companion has always brought bless
ing to man. To associate with wick
ed woman brings a curse" Solomon,
the wisest man who ever lived, or shall
| ever live, Sinned from no other cause
than having wicked women for his >ad-
vIsers. His wisdom was no match
for their counsel. o, that the women
of Medicine Lodge appreciated their
powers for good as given them by God,
to be used for the salvation of our town
The women of any town or community
are the bulwark of its strength. Veri-
ly. The hand that rocks the cradle is
the hand that moves the world.'' She
can be the good angel that troubles the
waters, to bring out its healing proper
ties; or the Jezebel, who wrought wick
edness in Israel; the Abigail, protecting
her home; or the murderous Athabiah,
whose vengeance was visited IN her
own head. Beloved sisters, come for
ward boldly in all causes ofright, never
forgetting that modesty, gentleness and
holiness ought to characterize all our
ways.
