should Washington women marry?
Why are so many Washington wom-
en- unmarried?
How can Washington women get
married?
To congregations from which q num-
Der Of alarmed men will probably dis
appear in proportion as the attendance
Of eager and anxious women increases,
the Rev. z. Hez Sven sent from heaven
10 champion the cause Of the old maid
VIII preach series OF sermons on the
above topics at the Typographical Tenn
pie.
For the solace Of women who are not
native WashingtOnians, It may be
stated that while the Rev z. Hez SVEN
Is the self-cOnstituted evangeI of the
Washington woman i. particular, any
woman, whether she haiIs rom Tampa
OF Kalamazoo, may gain some vaIu-
able information on why she is IN
married, and how she may get mar
ried, If she only goes early enough to
get a seat
For there's going TO be a rush,
Opens Series.
The Rev. E. Hez Sven opened his
series of sermons at the Typographical
Temple last night, when he talked on
the subject:
Should Washington Women Marry
If there are any who resent the ques-
ton, it may be explained that accord-
ing to the Rev. E. Hez Swem's way OF
thinking, the aIarmingly high percent
age Of unmarried women in Washing
ton leads the investigator to attempt to
discover il there is some particular
reason why women here should not
marry and live happily ever after.
And, according to the Rev. SVEN.
the Washington woman has every right
TO get married-iR she can
Why. 1 know some people in this
city," he exclaimed. with a burst Of
eloqueuce, who have been trying for
fifteen years to get married. I'd marry
them gratis, and give them a certi-
ficate, just TO help them along"
II this IS taken by Washington men
70 mean that Mr.. Sven offers TO give
his services and the certificate in order
10 nShten the financial burden usually
attached to the venture, there doubtless
Will be rush In order 10 take advan-
tage Of the bargain offer.
One of Heresies.
The Rev. +. Hez Sven declares that
one of the heresies of today is the
making light Of the institution Of
marriage. The time has come, he
thinks, for the passing of the mother
in-law Joke.
I have heard some washington
women" he said, advise young WON
en- not to marry. Now, that's what 1
call shame. God made Washington
women as he made Washington men
to marry"
And 50. let them marry. says the
Rev. T. HeZ Sven. Don't ever make 4
WitUCiSm on your mOtheT-in-la or
on the high cost of living for two. II
you are trying to reach decision on
how 10 be happy though married, keep
IL 10 yourself. lest the unmarried should
hear and take warning.
Next Sermon.
Next Sunday evening. at Typograpi-
cal Temple. the same speaker will
discourse on why Are 70 Many
Washington Women Unmarried? ,"
The doors win be open early. in order
that the throngs Of women and the
men who have courage to attend the
lectures may not be kept waiting out
side
The Rev. Sven has recently re-
turned from a four months sojourn in
Alabama, where he accepted a pas
torate. There he became so home
sick for Washington that he gave Up
his Alabama church IN order to return
to the Capital City and organize new
Baptist church. Then, too. he was
simply burning with the zeal Of
great message for the unmarried
women OF Washington
For the beneht of the men who were
present, the Rev L. Hez Sven also
declared last night that he hoped ne
would have TO leave Washington
again If he ever forgot the gentle art
