PRAYER ANSWERED.
Crusadng Women Given 2 Setback by
Former Preacher who had Turned
Saloonkeeper.
(By Dudley Buck }

Some time ago IN this town-Jackson,
Michigan-a number of women engaged in
a prohibition crusade, went to the saloon
of Ed Shafer, and kneeling upon the floor,
inside, began praying that the Lord would
put wisdom before the saloon man and
convince him of the error of his way.
Shafer had formerly been a Lutheran
preacher and, having quit the pulpit be-
cause of its tyranny and inconsistency, had
turned saloon-keeper, as he had no trade
at his command to earn a living. Upon
hearing the women pray, Shafer, who is
no SLOUGH at the same kind of business,
quietly waited until they had finished, and
then he began. BY this time the room
was full and crowds stood on the outside.
During Skaters prayer many of the women
struggled vainly to get out, but the crowd
held them and made them wait until he had
prayed his prayer out. The prayer Sha-
fer gave was one that will long be remem-
bered in this community, and was as fol-
lows:
20 God, thou who madest the heavens
and the earth and created man in thine
own image; thou who didst teach thy SER
want Noah to make and use wine; thou
who doth command in thy holy word
Drink, yea drink abundantly,' Drink thy
wine with a merry heart Let him drink
and forget his poverty Give wine unto
those that be of heavy hearts, and Drink
no longer water, but use little wine for
thy stomach's sake and thine often infirm-
tiles We also read in thy word how
Jesus did convert water into wine, show
ing plainly that he considered wine better
than water for man to drink, and how he
chose wine instead of water as the emblem
of his blood, and commanded his followers

Helen Philbrick Throws a Bomb into Los
Angeles School Board in Defense
of her Daughters Rights.
(By Franklin II. Heald.)

Aunt Helen Philbrick, of 457 Ulysses ST.,

Faith, who is an unusually bright little girl
and intelligent enough to be a pronounced
Atheist, with big "A" wrote the follow.

him. We also find that thy servant, Martin
Luther, the great reformer, did say He
who loves not women, wine and song, re-
mains a fool his whole life long,
20 Lord, we pray thee to have pity upon
these women who rebel against thy word,
and who are not grateful to thee for tiny
precious gifts, and who dress extravaganza
ly, and drive their husbands to overwork,
to drink, to dishonesty, to bankruptcy, to
crime and to suicide. They adorn their
costly headgear with the bodies of inno-
cent birds, whose sweet lives were wicked
ly sacrificed to feed their cruel vanity.
They wear not the complexion thou provid-
est them with, but compress their 96-inch
waist into 16-inch corsets. They wear false
hair store teeth, tight shoes and bustles,
and pad their bosoms with moss, cotton
and steel springs.
20 God, thou knowest that crusading
women generally have drunken husbands
or sons, made so by unhappy homes, or
husbands with feeble mmas who meeky
submit to the authority of their wives and
hide behind their skirts. o Lord, have
mercy upon such women, who bring dis
grace and humiliation upon their families,
and do not punish them according to their
deserts but constrain them 70 not be CAD
ding brawlers, but, as commanded in thy
word, to be discreet keepers at home,
obedient to their husbands, that the word
of God be not blasphemed, and to pluck
the beams out of their own eyes before
they sally forth with hatchets and prayers
and with exho tations and epithets to re-
move the notes from the eyes of their
neighbors.
20 God, teach these women to realize
that they are making fools of themselves.
Convince them that violence will not pro.
mote temperance, but that it will beget
violence and retaliation, and leads to evlls
infinitely greater than they seek to remove.
Teach them that the only temperance ac-
ceptable to thee is that which proceeus
from the heart and is voluntary selfcon-
troll. That Ratchet temperance, like pad
lock virtue, shotgun honor and sheriff
honesty, is stencil in tn sight

deeply thy moral law and TO comprehend
thy will, and may all the temptations and
trials of life prove means of grace to fit
us for the life beyond. Teach us to real

GOD AND MOTHERS.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

GOD AND MOTHERS.
1t IS beautiful saying that God
could not be everywhere, so he made
mothers"
The influence and power OF a mother
are only less than the influence and
power Of God.
Napoleon recognized that fact when
on being asked what was the greatest
need of France he replied. "Mothers"'
1t is a trite observation that great
men come of great mothers. 1t is as
true that those nations are great
whose mothers are great.
Note the Jewish people.
Where will you find greater sanctity
of home life, purer domestic love. than
in the home of the Jew? 1t has been
and devotion have ever adorned the
Jewish mother. And that is why the
race has produced more great men in
proportion to its members than any
other.
And the Germans
When Tacitus found and wrote about
them twenty centuries ago the Teuton
who lived in his native forest was the
husband of one wife, and that wife
was then, as today. industrious, do
nestle, vtrtuous. In consequence no
people have ever achieved greatness in
so many ways as the sturdy Germans.
And England
Statesmen may stand up in parlia-
ment to champion a budget that will
build more ships to guard her shores
and save her possessions, but the real
bulwark of the empire is the bulwark
Of English homes-and mothers.
If the Anglo-Saxon dominates the
world today it is because of the intel
ligence and purity of Anglo-Saxon
mothers. II his strength is as the
strength of ten because his heart is
pure" it is because Of his mothers
purity.
And America
The sons Of the republic march in
the forefront of the world as the ar
biters Of righteousness and the pro-
Chalmers Of peace because of their
mothers behind them.
All. mothers!
Yours is power greater than that Of
queens on throne. Your great prov
fnce, like that Of God himself, is the
mothering of souls. You alone can put
into living souls the divine yeast Of
the worlds future goodness and great
ness.
Do not resign your scepter of moth
erhood to some mere hireling of day.
Let US say 1t reverently:
We know not how it is in other
worlds. but in this one God himself
cannot get along without mothers.
