straight to Gods work, in simplicity and
s~inglsness of heart-FLoRENcE NIeHTIN.
GALE
We almost mourn the loss Of what
results aoould be If the womanhood of our
nation, of our State, of our county, or
egen Of Woodstown alone were to heed this
fine advice given. by Florence Nightin-
gale. For what might not be expected
If even women alone were to leave their
gibberish of Improbable talk (uot to call
it idle, or worse than idle) and "go their
way straight to Gods work in simplicity
and s~ingleness of heart" For after all
it is in simplicity and in singleness of
heart that the best results are gathered,
and only think, friends, comrades, what
the results would be if all our force of
thought, of expression, and of action
were used, not in ''these %jargons," but
sin simplicity and singleness of heart"
Our church, our temperance organize
tions would increase in membership and
in interest much more rapidly than they
have done even at this revival season in
our midst; and the evils that Turk withip
our boarders would be as speedily rooted
out from among us, as does the Indus
trious h~usbandman root out the obnoxious
weeds from the crops which he plants
| and guards with tender care.
Sad then is the thought that the boys,
the girls, the homes of our land are not
as industriously, as tenderly guarded as
are the crops from seed time to harvest.
