man of today. While often she stands
before us as the uncrowned queen of
the world yet she is the God crowned
queen of true nobility and gentleness,
endurance and heroism, striking her
glittering blade right and left as she
narches triumphant through the
years. She is bringing the dawn of
better days. She is peerless AS to ed
ucation, brilliant as to genius, Christ
like rs to self sacrifice, Napoleon like
as to courage, Mary-like as to tender
ness and love.
The new woman makes the phrase
society woman uncomplmentary
Philanthropy is her profession, re
formatory efforts her business, TO en-
cite the humanitarian elements in
society her calling. The new woman $
aim is to do good, not evil, in this
world
THE home life is doubtless the
sphere of operation. Here woman,
a noble Christian woman, is at her
best as she should he. Benjamin West
relates that when as mere lad, he
sister, his mother bent over him and
kissed him, and that kiss, he says,
made me. Who shall estimate the
gracious influence of faithful daugh
l I lou
far yon little candle throws its
beams.
THE home is woman coign of van
tage THE hand that rocks the era
die, rules the world. The home is
the fountain from which flow forth
all the streams of social and civic
life. 1t is for woman to say whether
there shall be family altar or not,
whether secular work shall be sus-
pended in the home life or not on the
sacred day; whether the next genera
ton shall he "A generation of Chris
tians or not. They may not be able
to transform the lives of their fathers
and husbands, but if they are true to
their responsibilities, they can cause
that matters shall lie different quar-.
ter of IA century from now.
Lord SALISBURY said, 'You want
new generation of men and women;
you can have it by training mp new
generation of children. As the twig
is bent, the tree is inclined, The boy
is father of the man.
Il can how yet only urge you,
noble women to follow the Friend of
Mary and Martha in your ideals. He
has uplifted womanhood into new
sphere of life and nobleness. Live
in sympathy and fellowship with this
manifest of men, the Son of God, and
son of woman. Then you will be new
and true, womanly Christian women.
The treasures of the deep are not so
precious as the concealed comforts of
man locked up in Il woman $ love.
Are you a mother, ii wife, sister, Il
daughter Your love may shield
them Your companionship may ele-
waite them You may either tighten
tolls or make them heavier; you may
brother, a son or il husband. You
may make home IA heaven or a hell.
You have it in your hands to make IA
better man or worse | beseech you
by the Marthas and the Marys to cast
your influence over those who are
under your roof and thus make for
them little heaven to go to heaven
in And then the manifest of men
will be delighted to dwell with ''ou
in all the tenderness of new life.

mau 5 kiss ON the cheek, woman :
hand leading on, woman's heart de
wishing the way, and we men, with
DOTTED hats and bowed heads, fellow
helpers in church and state, and an
era not unlike Israel when the land
had rested forty years under Deborah,
not unlike the rejoicing Jews under
Esther, not unlike the noble spirit
that aroused school of prophets un
der. not Samuel but Hannah, not un
like the great peace that fell on Phil
lipi because Lydia, the business
woman, maintained place of prayer,
an era of prosperity and godliness and
sweet peace would dawn, | dare say,
until Man would cease to be able to
sin and earth would be heaven, for
heaven is love
