sending thanks to brother Harry K. Springer
for the broad minded way in which he e1-

his mother taught him, and for this thanks
are due.
What beautiful tribute to the memory of
that mother. l. too, feel that Mr.. Seaman
was too severe in his criticisms on woman

Thanks TO the All Wise, our brothers shadow
can no longer obscure US. We have stepped up
and out into the sunlight. Science and litera-
ture grow brighter by our presence. Woman's
voice is now heard in the pulpit, the bar and
the forum.
At the Worlds Convention at Boston of the
W. c. T. u there were women from nearly
every civilized country on the globe and some
OF the islands OF the sea, and many of them
were listened to by thousands Of people
Hundreds more were unable to get within
hearing distance, great was the desire to hear
women discuss the great moral questions of the
day.
There never was a time when there were so
many avenues open to employment for women,
or when there was such demand for wGman's
work as to-day. 1t is not now, as formerly, that
the great object OF this life from childhood up
is to DC married.
Grand women on the picket-line Of progress

Too many OF are shy. knowing that it is
