Or. White Talks to a Large Au-
dienGe of Women,

Very few seats were vacant ut the tent
yesterday morning, all filled with women
who had assembled to hear DIR. Whites
sermon to women only. About two hun
dred women occupied the platform and
ten were selected to take up the collec-
ton.
Rev. II. j. Shipman conducted the Song
service. DR.. Broughton offered prayer
then DIR. White took charge of the SER
vice. and after reading several passages
of scripture, he said: eve are not going
to allow any man in this tent this morn
ing, except the FACTORS. If there are any
men here you just as we'll get u hump
on you.''
One lone member of this unfortunate
sect got up and with bowed head
"sneaked" out.
''The homes of this city," said the
preacher, "are here this morning. What
a responsibility there is upon you. The
secret of home happiness must be love.
Don't fall in love with little fool-a
toothpick chap Love man, not dude.
Let your home be attractive. No wo-
man can expect to hold her husband with
out affection. Men are colder by nature
than you are. He's absorbed in business
in which you should show mutual in
terest. It's your place to take the initia
tive in this matter. You can break up
this cold heart in your husband if you
will do it. Interest yourselves in your
husbands business if it be an honorable
business Talk over the work. Be n COM
panion to him. Husbands have right
to expect this OF you. If you don't do it
he will drift from you "
Here DIR. White related an anecdote of
Mr.. and Mrs. Carlyle, to illustrate the
powerful influence of n woman over the
man who loves her. Carlyle made his
boasts that he was the Caesar of home,
hut when called by Mrs. Carlyle he hum
bly, submitted. Continuing the eloquent
and earnest speaker said: GA woman
can win her husband only by Christian
influence; especially is this the case with
the husband who INDUCES in intoXicauts.
Consecrate all to Christ. If your life is
not all given to Christ, you can't expect
to accomplish your mission in life.
