DOWNRIGHT. 1881

There has never been a society form
ed in the history of America that has
attracted and held the attention of wo-
men as has the National Congress Of
Mothers, and necessarily SO. Every
woman on the face of the earth is a
mother at heart unless indeed she be
a monster in feminine shape. The ma
jority of women have children of their
own, either fruit of their bodies or al
lied to them nearly by ties Of blood.
Every woman mothers some one-if not
a child, then some other dear one who
is in some way dependent upon her.
When Mrs. Theodore Birney made
public her thought for a national Or
ganization Of mothers, she sounded a
pibroch that summoned the whole
mother clan to her side. The first con-
gress last year in Washington was a
surprise even to its enthusiastic found
er. Hundreds of women were crowded
out at each session owing to the i'm
possibility of accommodating the eager
crowds. Child life and motherhood were
treated in all their aspects by the able
speakers, and absolute satisfaction and

WE'RE PREPARED FOR DEATH
How Ten Sailors of the Olympia Were

ship, and who took occasion to propa-
gate the tenets of that organization
with marked effect. They at least went
into the fight without fear of what
death might bring to them
Before leaving for Key West, where
she is to take up special spiritual work
among the soldiers and sailors, Briga
dier Alice Lewis of that organization
received a letter from John Cramp, one
of the sailors i'll the crew of the Olym
pia. Cramp was converted in one of
Brigadier Lewis meetings in New York
two years ago, and when he went back
ON board ship he wore piece of army
ribbon and declared his intention to do
good among his mates.
When it was certain that war was
about to be declared, he took occasion
to talk with his fellow sailors about the
hereafter, telling them that it was rea-
sonably certain that some of their num-
ber would be killed in the sea fights
which We're sure to follow the declara-
tion and exhorting them to turn from
the error of their ways Here is an ex-.
tract from the letter:
Last Sunday l got permission to
hold little meeting in the forecastle
and told the boys they might be killed,
and they ought to get ready to die.
When l asked how many of them want
ed to get ready, ten of them, among
them two of the marines, held up their
hands, and l prayed with them, and
they said it was all right We amt
afraid of any foe now. "-Chicago Trib-
