father-in-law. And yet who can be
more untactful at critical periods, and
yet so thoughtless at other times than
a possible father-in-law.
Women of the Bible.
81 desire to call your attention to
the relation of Bible to woman. You
have seen that in the story of creation
no higher place could have been &C
corded to woman. The worlds joys
and the worlds work we're not possible
without her. and even in the garden
period before the curse of sin came
into the human family, lit states that
she was the helpmate, showing that
paradise was not playhouse, that work
was a part of the plan and woman
was not the toy nor the ornament
merely, but a fellow laborer aud Co
partner in life's upbuilding.
"All through the Old Testament wo-
man holds an exalted position. Char
acters like the mother of Moses. Mir
lam and Deborah, and motherhood
with its faiths and love is exalted in
Hannah. But, however, not any place
in the Old Testament does it regard
woman as degraded as under the re-
gime Of ancient religions Of Indiana,
China. Turkey or Japan.
THE capacity Of woman's heart for
love has not yet been sounded. Many
of the sins inflicted upon her and for
WI hi oh he in no OIL N G
responsible, arise from her love which
sweetens and beauties the world.
Jesus knew the history of all women.
Women are to be the best rescuers Of
their SHINING sex instead Of being the
harshest judgers of them, even Jesus,
himself, has set the example and has
revealed the deepest knowledge Of wo-
mans heart. Martha was good house
keeper to the point of worrying. Mary
hath chosen that good part which shall
not be taken away from her. The Lord
is more pleased at the attention from
a sister who would listen to instruc-
tions. than to one enthusiastically sup
posed she should find the way to his
heart through his stomach. / would
here suggest that If the Lord is salts
fed with lesser entertainment that
much worry and anxiety and expense
of modern hospitality might be spared
and If we made mere man or even wo-
men OF our afternoon teas partake Of
simpler repast."
State Reports Read.
The reports that were given this
morning by State Chairman Mrs. F. F.
McCrea and State Treasurer Mrs.

lures in this mornings program Of the

that is in session at the Reid Memorial
church. The reports deal with the con-
ditions of the Y. w. c. AS work in
the state of Indiana, and showed that
it is f1ourishing. 1t is the hope that
more city organizations can be per-
fected during the coming year. The re-
port by the treasurer dealt mainly
with the rapid progress that has been
made in the past year.
