Rev. Weiths Sermon to Women.

sermon Sunday morning. addressed
particularly to women.

ming OF the service that he was to
he no orator and give glowing
culoay 10 womanhUod but that he
would try to show few points
in which the women of his church
We're amiss.
The sermon was practical one,
that nerited the thanks of the won.
en, for some good wholesome les
sons on their everyday life. One
point he made in relation to his
own church was the small attend
ance at the Missionary Society.
The books they study, he said,
were as good as any the Ladies' OF
the Leaf and other literary clubs
study, and much more practical,
since they deal with the vital ques
tons OF the day. The work of the
Missionary Society, too, is unself
ish, since IL Is all done for others.
That social life is necessary he
emphasized, and thanked the host.
