"HOME, SWEET HOME"

In the Biblical account or the crea-
ton OF woman, 1T is written, And the
Lord God said: 1t is not good that
the man should be alone, l will make
him and help meet for him." The last
law therefore for determining the
proper place for woman in this world,
rs the viii of her Creator, not the will
or opinion of man, or the fashion of
the day. The laws which govern in
animate nature are Interchangeable,
The sun rises and sets and each planet
and satellite revolves in it's orbit ac-
cording to the will of the Ruler of the
universe. Astronomers seek after truth
and tell us of the wonder and beauties
of the armament above US, but they
do not dare to do more than to try
to understand and interpret astron-
omical phenomena.
Why then should man, the nobleSt
work of God, breathed upon by His
Spirit and quickened into animation,
rebel against his own destiny? God
made man the centre of the Social
system, and decreed that his love and
reverence for woman should be the
great attraction by which she should
be held in her orbit--the Home. Man
should make her the partner of his
pleasures, as she will share his trouble
and sorrow. She will rule over the
house of her father, her husband, or
her brother, and for this purpose she
needs a liberal education. She must
be a good business woman, knowing
something of the rules of arithmetic
and bookkeeping. that she may be
able to preside over the market
basket and account book. She should
understand the uses of hemming and

toiling for woman. she should be aple

Woman's mind should be developed
by the same early training that boy
enjoys, and subsequent culture and
study that she may be congenlal

and she will not be dissatisfied with
