THE TOPIC WAS, TO YOUNG W0-
MEN'-TEDOUGHT A YOUNG WO-
MAN SHOULD BE AMBITIOUS
TO BE COED - HER MOTTO
SHOULD BE- "A WHITE LIFE
FOR TWO"

Prof George Munroe, of Bethany
College, delivered a sermon on the
theme, To Young Women" at the
First Christian church, last evening.
HIS remarks were of very thoughtful
and instructive nature and were lis
tened to attentively by a large con-
gregation. Prof. Munroe spoke as fol-
| lows:
We have a number of texts this even
| ing. Prov. IL 16, "A gracious woman
retaineth honor Prov. 1922, AS a
| jewel of gold in a swine's snout, SO is
| a fair woman which is without discre-
tion;" Prov. 1874, "A virtuous woman
| is a crown to her husband: but she
that maketh ashamed is as rottenness
! to his bones;" Prov. 1925, She open
eth her mouth with wisdom, and the
| law of kindness is on her tongue.
Also, Titus 2:4-5, THAT they (the aged
| women) may train the young women
to love their husbands, to love their
children, to be sober-minded, chaste,
| workers at home, kind, being in sub
lection to their own husbands, that the
word of God be not blasphemed.
We often hear of sermons to young
| men, not often of sermons to young
women. They are presumed not TO
! need SO much attention from the
preachers as the young men, and they
do not, so far as moral teaching is con-
cerned. Yet there are respects in
which they need special inftruction.
Young women ought to be frequently
reminded of their great Influence and
consequent great responsibility. The
New Testament furnishes examples OF
addressing special classes, including
| the young women, as one OF our texts
| illustrates. The Bible makes much of
women-more than many people think.
| When woman comes to occupy the
place the Bible gives her, this will be
| a happier world.
A young woman should be ambitious
| to be good. Seek we first the king
| dom of God and His Righteousness.
applies to young women as to others.
! She should study the laws of health
and observe them. She should deter
mine to have a good school education,
to learn to read good books, which is
| the principal part of a good education.
OWN
| talker. How admirable it is when
woman talks we'll. What an acom-
plishment that is.
| A young woman should know how to
| keep house; to be a worker at home"
as Paul says. Not keeper at home
| that is, slayer at home, as the old
version might suggest-but worker
at home.' She should know what
good housekeeping is, and know how
| to do it, even if she is a millionaires
daughter. A most important part of
| good housekeeping is the selection and
cooking OF food. Emphasis has often
been put upon the cooking, but it is
quite as necessary to lay stress upon
the selection of appropriate food, not
simply what people like and what
seems to agree with them, but what is
really fitted to build up the system and
| produce healthy bodies. Without
| healthy bodies, there cannot be healthy
minds or healthy souls. 1t is more
than time that the pulpit had laid
proper emphasis upon Faul's exhorta
ton, 'Glorify God in your body" The
women of our day can render no
| greater service to religion itself than
| by ministering to the bodies of the
| people we'll selected, we'll cooked food.
! A young woman should maintain her
self-respect in all circumstances She
| should be lady everywhere and all
the time. She should esteem influence
more than prominence. If young wo-
men set themselves against evil in
every form, and refuse to have any
dealings with evil-doers, what a change
would came over this world of ours
What amazing courage some young wo-
men display. They will marry men to
reform them. Did you ever hear of a
man marrying woman to reform her?
1t is an inscrutable thing what poor
sticks of men some women will marry.
Young women should strenuously
and religiously maintain the doctrine
| of an equal standard of purity for men
and women. Her motto should be, "a
| white life for two" She should give
notice that no unclean hands shall
] ever be Joined in hers, that no impure
| lips shall ever touch hers.
