Avenue church, last evening as pre-
lude to his sermon gave an address on
dangers Attending Woman's Entrance
to the Industrial World" He said it is
not unlikely that new order of things
so extensive as this new life of woman
hood should be fraught with some ap-
parent ills. One danger feared is that
she will displace men; the supply of
labor is greater than the demand, and
men would have more places if women
did not enter than he can if she does.
for each woman toiler man is dis
placed, and this will result in increas-
ing the already too large army of idlers.
throwing heavier burdens upon women,
| or exchanging the work of the sexes,
men Winding the house and children,
while women do the work that is now
done by men.
| 1t must be confessed that there is
| threatening danger along this line, but
| it is likely the fttest will survive, and
! men will hold their places If more COM
petent. 1t may drive people to the
! lands that now lie in such large quanti-
ties uncultiyated, and compel the own
ers of lands to divide up and sell at rea
! sonable figures. Whatever may be the
| results, man cannot prevent woman from
leave to toll. He may eXpel the heather
Chinee, but he cannot eXpel the Amer
lean woman. She is here, and no raid

Another danger IS to the home, and
this in many ways. 1t is thought wom-
EN- will become averSe to marriage, and
being independent will prefer their life
of labor, free from domestic care, to
that of the family with its pain, sorrow,
limitations and various hardshipS.
think, however, the instinct and af-
fections of the race will assert them
selves and the coming woman will be
wife. There is such thing as Old-fash-
toned love, as pure and true as ever,
and there are women who have it
women who believe in men. am glad
they are not all like one who recently
wrote for the North American, saying:
woman hates man; she knows him as
contractor, boss, betrayer, night fiend."
There are women who think men are
cruel and vile, and are not fit for hus-
bands, sons or brothers. Such women
should not adopt the home life. A man
has said: Il would as soon hug griz-
Zly bear as such woman; would as
soon lock arms with locomotive for
stroll as with such a creature" No man
should be annoyed with.
Such a Companion.
Yet there are those who turn from all
professions for the home, and, like the
bird that finds its mate and flies with
her to Northern skies, these human be-
ings will meet and love and live. A
brother of one of my pariShioners, asked
her in my presence, if, SO far as her ac-
| quaintance extended, she thought girls
in business would prefer to remain so.
! or whether they would prefer home,
and she, after moments hesitation.
said: II do not know of one but would
prefer marriage and the home life, pro-
Yiding the right kind of an offer was
made, but they prefer the present free
dom to the acceptance Of unworthy Of
fers." A very Intelligent lady told me
that women naturally wanted home
that is her desire. 1t will be so. The
women will accept the home life as
business.
1t is charged that the danger to the
home arises also from the neglect of
children that must arise when mothers
are engaged in outside occupations. 1t
is thought their existence will not be
tolerateu,as maternity will hinder in the
occupations, and so the rearing of them
will be relegated to the
Less Intelligent and Pure
This is not true. The childless homes,
as a general thing, are among the idlerS
the women of society, and fashion and
selt-induIgence. They are the ones
who lavish affections on long-haired,
blear-eyed poodle dogs; who fondle
pup rather than child; who, if there is
child in the family, leaves it in the
kitchen with the hired girl, while her
darling pug occupies place in her lap,
looks up for careSS, and
has the privileges of the house.
The industrious women welcome
the gift of childhood and their homes
are redolent with the music of childish
feet and the gaiety Of their laugh, and
their existence will be more to them
than parties, theaters, balls, ease, or
even the business of the outside world.
She will feel that her husband can earn
the bread while she gives her time to
the children God has given her. The
coming woman will be a mother,
good, oldfashioned mother, and she
will sing about her household cares:
Mrs. Lofty keeps a carriage,
So do /:
She has dapDle greys to draw it,
None have |.
She's no prouder of her coachmen
Than am !,
With my blue eyed laughing baby
Trundling by.

Ny cherub boy and envy me-"
In the home woman is queen; she
reigns over a realm of loyalty and affec-
ton, and is in the most honored, the
happiest. the most influential place
