that cellar. Men Will sleep, ana women
will watch.
Again: woman has n superlative
right to take care of the poor. There
are hundreds and thousands of them
In all our cities. There is kind OF
work that men can not do for the
poor. Here comes group of little bare
foot children to the door of the Dorcas
society. They need to be clothed and
provided for. Which of these directors
Of banks would know how many yards
II would take to make that little girl
dress? Which Of these masculine
hands could fit a hat to that little
girls head? Which of the wise men
would know how to tie on that new
pair of shoes2 Man sometimes gives
his charity in rough way, and it falls
like the fruit of n tree in the east,
which fruit comes down SO heavily that
it breaks the skull of the man who Is
trying to gather it. But woman glides
so softly into the house of restitution,
and finds out all the sorrows Of the
place, and puts so quietly the dona-
ton on the table that all the family
come out on the front steps rs SHE de-
parts, expecting that from under her
shawl she will thrust out two wings
and go right up to Heaven, from
whence she seems to have come down.
Oh, Christian young woman! if you
would mako yourself happy and win
the blessings of Christ, go out among
the destitute. A loaf of bread or n
bundle of socks may make n homely
load to carry; but the angels of God
will come out to watch, and the Lord
Almighty will give his messenger
hosts II charge. saying: Look after
that woman. Canopy her with your
wings and shelter her from all harm;"
and while you are seated in the house
of restitution and suffering, the little
ones around the room will whispers:
"Who is she? Amt she beautifully"
and If you listen right sharply you
will hear dripping down the lcaily roof,
and rolling over the rotten stairs, the
angel chant that shook Bethlehem:
GLORY to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will to men," Can
you tell me why Christian woman,
going down among the haunts of ini-
guilty on q Christian errand, never
meets with any indignity? stood in
the chapel of Helen Chalmers, the
daughter of the celebrated DR.. Chal-
mers, in the most abandoned part of
the city of Edinburgh, and I said to
her as looked around upon the fear
full surroundings Of that place: "Do
you come here nights to hold service?'
''Oh, yes" she said. "Can it be possi-
BILE that you never meet with insult
while performing this Christian err
raud?' Never" she said-'never. +"
That young woman who has her father
by her side walking down the street,
an armed policeman at each corner of
the street, is not SO well defended as
that Christian who goes forth on gos-
pei work into the haunts of iniquity,
carrying the Bibles and bread. God,
with the right arm of his wrath omnipo-
tent, would tear to pieces anyone who
should offer indignity. He would
smite him with lightnings, and drown
him with floods, and swallow him with
earthquakes, and damn him with etern-
al indignations. Some one said: Il
dislike very much to see that Chris
tian woman teaching those bad boys
in the mission school. l am afraid to
have her instruct them" $50" said
another man, II am afraid, too"
Said the first: II am afraid
they will use vile language before
they leave the place." "Ah," said the
other man, II am not afraid of that.
What am afraid of is, that If any of
those boys should use bad word in
that presence, the other boys would
tear him to pieces and kill him on the
spot" That woman is the best shell
tered who is sheltered by Omnipo-
tcncc, and it is always safe to go where
God tells you to 60 1t seems as if the
Lord had ordained woman for an espe-
cial work in the solicitation of chart
ties. Backed up by barrels in which
there Is no flour, and by stoves in
which there is no fire, and ward
robes in which there are no
clothes, a woman is irresistible;
passing on her errand, Cod says
to her: You go into that bank, or
store. and get the money" She goes
in and gets it. The man is hard-fsted,
but she gets 1t. She could not help
but get it. 1t is decreed from
eternity she should get it. Nc
need OF your turning your back
and pretending you don't hear
you do hear. There is no need of your
saying GU are begged to death. There
is no need Of your wasting your time,
and you might as well submit first as
last. You had better right away take
down your checkbook, mark the mum
Der of the check, ELL up the blank
sign your name, and hand it to her
There is noneed of wasting time. Those
poor children on the back street have
been hungry long enough. That sicl
man must have some farina. Tha
consumptive must have something t.
ease his cough. 1 meet this dele
gate coming out of the store of such ;
hard-fsted man, and say: ibid yo,
get the money!" "Of course" sh,
says, II got the money; that's what
went for. The Lord told me to go IL
and get it. and He never sends me on
FOOLS Grand"
Again: have to tell you that 1t 1
woman's specific right to comfort un
der the stress of dire disaster. She /
