Will sleep, and women will watch.
A Superlative Right.
Again, woman has superlative righ
to take care of the poor. There are hun
dreds and thousands of them in all GU
cities. There is kind of work that me
cannot do for the poor. Here comes
group of little barefoot children to tn
door of the Dorcas society. They nee,
to be clothed and provided for. Whicl
Of these directors of banks would know
how many yards it would take to max
| that little girl dress? Which of thes
masculine hands could fit hat to tina
little girls head? Which of the wis,
men would know how to tie on tina
new pair of shoes? Man sometimes give
his charity in a rough way, and it fall,
like the fruit of tree ia the east, which
fruit comes down SO heavily that il
breaks the skull of the man who is try
ing to gather it. But woman glides SC
softly into the house of restitution. an6
finds out all the sorrows of the place,
and puts so quietly the donation on the
table, that all the family come out on
the front steps as she departs, expecting
that from under her shawl she will
thrust out two wings and go right up
toward heaven, from whence she seems
to have come down. o Christian
young woman, if you would make your
self happy and win the blessing of
Christ, go out among the destitute. A
loaf of bread or bundle of socks may
make homely load to carry, but the
angels of God will come out to watch,
and the Lord Almighty will give his
messenger hosts a 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 whis-
per: "Who is she? Aim she beautiful?"
and if you listen right sharply, you Will
hear dripping down the leaky 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 a Christian woman, going down
among the haunts Of iniquity on Chris
tian errand, never meets with any in
dignity? l stood in the chapel of Helen
Chalmers, the daughter of the celebrated
DR.. Chalmers, in the most abandoned
part of the city of Edinburgh, and I
said to her as looked around upon the
fearful surroundings of that place, "Do
you come here nights to hold service?"
'Oh, yes, she said. "Can it be posi-
ole that you never meet with an insult
while performing this Christian er-
'and?" "Never," she said "Never. "
That young woman who has her IA
her by her side walking down the
street, an armed policeman at each cor
Ter of the street, is not so we'll defended
is that Christian who goes forth on Cos
'el work into the haunts of iniquity,
the Bibles and bread. God,
With the right arm of his wrath omnip-
tent, would tear to pieces any one who
hould offer indignity. He would smite
lin with lghtnings and drown him |
With floods and swallow him with earth
luakes and damn him with eternal in |
lignations. Some one said II dislike |
'ery much to see that Christian woman |

hat woman is the best sheltered who
