It Was Work For Christ
That Mrs Pearson Urged

The topic which Mrs. Pearson treated
yesterday afternoon in her talk to women
was Work for Christ
The first thought impressed by her was,
that there is work appointed by God
for each individual to do; not always a
great or conspicuous work, but neverthe-
less work of some sort The stars are
just as necessary to the harmony of the
heaven as is the full orbed moon, though
shining it may be, with less apparent
splendor.
Each woman has her own part in this
work, her own niche in life to fill,
worthily, if she will but strive to do so.
Woman, the home maker. In this work
alone what power and usefulness are hers.
Young lives are there to be moulded by
her influence. Discipline must be there
thar it may lead to self control. Obedience
must be enforced that submission TO au-
thority may follow as sequence. A want
of wise government in the home, a lack of
respect for parental authority are respon-
sible for subsequent violation Of law and
rebellion against the commandments of
God and His supreme authority.
The foundation of character is laid at
the hearthstone. All works to be judged
finally by God, who alone knows all mo-
tive, all effort, as we'll as it's result
Earnest, consecrated work to be rewarded
by God is mans encouragement and his
highest honor.
Her last service this week will be held
this afternoon beginning at $3.50 and last
ing just one hour. Next week her talks
will be mainly addresses to young ladies,
though the presence of their elders is
earnestly desired at every service. Great
interest is manifested in these services by
all who have attended them.
