We Must Struggle.

There is another truth to remember,
namely, this: we must struggle. Nothing
is attained without a battle, and no hoii-
ness can be gained unless we are ready
to suffer in our zeal and hunger and con-
fict. Oh, of course it is wearisome to
keep on for we grow so heavy in heart.
and the way is lonely, and we have to
meet with much misunderstanding. But
it is the way the Master went; and
while He, being perfect went on his
path for us and not because of His own
weakness, yet He set us an example
that we should follow in His steps.
Really, looked at in true, heroic light.
this battle makes life interesting and
profitable. A friend once said to me:
Il am glad l was not created an angel;
love the struggle of life, which must
end at last in glory. through the help
of Christ l can quite understand his
meaning. We are to find delight in

successful than man. He declares she
has more sympathy than a man and
that in cases of sickness her ministra-
tons often go closer to the hearts of
those in distress than those of the sterner
sex In the pulpit. however, the pastor
does not think that woman is the equal
of man, though he points out that In the
conduct of revival services very often her
appeals to the emotions of her hearers
are more successful than those Of the
man evangelist.
The woman ministers declare that it is
quite natural that they should be able
to reach a sinner easier than a man
I minister. Thoughts of women are con-
nected with the best and gentlest mo-
ments of a mans life, they say, and he
can remember when he knelt In prayer
at his mothers knee and when he listen
ed to her admonitions as child. He
remembers his aspirations toward q good
and ideal life when he thought Of mar
riage and the thought of death Is not
disassociated with the grief of some
woman.

Making a Form Live.

Jesus enforced His teaching on prayer
by giving a form of prayer which men
call the Lords Prayer. This prayer.
which children learn to lisp at their
mothers knee and old men and women
gasp with their dying breath. is only an
empty form. unless the words are clothed
with life, as they are made to express
the needs and language of the heart
Jesus did not mean to forbid the use of
other forms of prayer, but to teach that
every prayer should be in the spirit of
one or more of the petitions of the per-
feet prayer.
In like manner a visitor TO New York
city once said: lone day at noon l called
to see a man at his place of business
He is in, but you cannot see him for
twenty minutes. l was told | urged
that my card should be sent to him, for
it was important. The clerk replied: L
cannot do it: come with me- He led me
through the basement until we were be-
meath the sidewalk of Broadway. He
babe me look quietly down a long CORR
dor at the other end Of which l saw my
friend upon his knees. The dim light re-
vealed an open Bible upon a chair before
him. The clerk then said: He spends
thirty minutes of the noon hour there
ca eh day. and there is not man i'm the
house who would dare to interrupt
him."

But he simply went about his daily

For the Children.

Women also can get a great deal
closer to children and young people than
a man can. These are only two reasons
why there should be woman ministers.
The experience of each individual woman
minister can show her other reasons.
More and more this field OF endeayor
is opening up TO women. There are
more woman ministers now than there
have ever been before. and there are but
few denominations now which will not
ordain a woman minister
THE future will see a large increase
of women in the ministry. As women

In the pulpit the woman ministers dress
very quietly. Ordinarily street costume Is
worn, and over it the collegiate gown of
silk, very similar to the gowns worn by
seniors in the colleges. The heads are un-
