We have heard of a woman in Nova
Scotia who couldn't leave her kitchen
a suffering child that had been run
biscuits would burn. Her sphere was
/ the home. In a religious meeting last
: Sunday we heard a Sunday school
) worker urge the women to attend the
: s. S. convention that met in Topeka
! this week, adding never mind your
lhousework; that can wait Put every
thing aside for this convention and
| give it your support" No doubt many
; of the women followed her advice, but
. who would dare to go before an audi
ence and counsel women to leave theil
: houses to care for themselves and &c
out into politics for two or three days
> and work for a clean governm ent
Also, is a Sunday school convention
. | (good as it probably isl any more
worthy or important an object of in
terest and endeavor than honesty and
puritv in civic and national politics?
