Miss Laura Gregg, of the Nation
al Woman's Suffrage Association,
arrived in Thatcher on Wednesday
evenings train. Thursday she
spoke before about thirty members
of the Relief Society. Sunday
morning she spoke on the subject
of temperance before the parents
class in the Academy chapel. She
told of the struggle made in Kansas
to procure prohibition, and of the
continued struggle to enforce the
laws after it was procured. Sun
day afternoon she spoke again, and
took as her text, Seek Ye First the
Kingdom of God" She gave some
very beautiful religious thoughts,
then showed in very interesting
manner the part women were TAX
ing in furthering the kingdom of
God on earth. She said that men
were necessarily wrapped up in the
material things of life, as it was
their mission to earn the bread for
the family, while the woman's mis-
sion was raising the family, and her
duty was to look after the spiritual,
mental, moral and patriotic side of
the lives of the children, and she
showed how the ballot enhanced the
woman's power along these lines.
She spoke for one hour and held
her audience spellbound. Her voice
is cultured and musical; her delivery
is splendid, and her thoughts are all
sound, wise argument. We hope.
to have the pleasure of hearing her
