"THE LAST WORD"
The Presbyterian ladies' aid meet
.oday with Mrs. Wormmood.


~----
The Rebekah degree staff is prac-
ticing for initiation for next Thurs
day evening when several take the
degree.
The w. {. 7. U. will hold their
monthly meeting next Monday eve
ming at the home of Mrs. Fitch. A
short program will be given. All
members are urged to attend and
anyone interested is invited.
The ladies of the Eastern Star
We're kept busy for a day or so pre-
pairing the elaborate banquet served
at the Masonic meeting Tuesday
evening. 1t is needless ia say that
the epicurean tastes of the Masons
were more than satisfied.
Although it cannot be denied that
the ladies are not very cordially
welcomed at the school polls yet a
number of them keep up their cour-
age and are seen yearly at the vot-
ing place. If the people, women and
men, who feel that women are out
of place in interesting themselves in
school matters would stop to think
that the children spend more than
half their waking time, not in the
home under the mothers care. but
in the school, they would see the
reasonableness of such interest. The
care of the children means much
more than the care Of the house and
it is an essential that the details of
cleanliness, ventilation and general
house keeping should be properly
cared for at school, as at home. Mr..
Vaughan, the newly elected chair
man, attended the school exhibit
this spring and the mothers feel that
man who takes interest enough in
the school to attend it's exercises will
attend to the little details that are
often overlooked.
The forces of evil. the saloons, the
dives, the grafters and selfish politi-
clans, are unit in opposing suffrage
for women. Rev. Redfield, formerly
of Hurley, now of White Lake, once
said that Billy Sunday had a good
rule for ministers to follow. What
ever the saloons are agin." Billy
Sunday said, "I'm fer. And what
ever the saloons are fer, Pm agin. :"
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection the illogical position of some
ministers and church people who
side with the forces of evil against
the enfranchisement of women.
1t must be remembered that the
rabbis of old considered it sin for
them even to talk with a woman.
Better burn the Bible, they said.
than allow it to fall into the hands
of woman. But Jesus. scandalized
the rabbis by holding converse with
women and giving to them also the
command to search the scriptures.
He taught them His most precious
truths and told them to tell others.
He chose to appear first to woman
after His, resurrection. Women were
His most numerous followers and
he gave no command to women that
is not also binding upon men. No
woman ever betrayed Jesus. 1t was
Pilates wife who warned him to
have nothing to do with that just
Man. Last at the cross were the
the women, who recognized Jesus
not only as the Savior of mankind
but as brother to all women.
1t is to the honor of most ministers
that the love of Christ is stronger
than hide bound conservatism.
They know that the golden rule APP
phys to all the world and that both
race and sex prejudice must bow
before it if we would call ourselves
truly Christian. The cry of all
churches, some editor has said, must
be for justice if they would keep
their hold upon the hearts of the
people.
