THE MUSIC ON THE SEA.

Around. around flew each sweet
sound,
Then darted to the sun:
Slowly the sounds came back again,
Now mixed. now one by one.
Sometimes a-dropping from the sky
I heard the skylark sing;
Sometimes all little birds that are,
How they seemed to I'LL the sea
and air,
With their sweet jargpning!
And now twas like all Instruments,
Now like lonely flute;
And now il is an angels song
That makes the heavens be mute.
Il ceased: yet stir the sails made on
a pleasant noise till noon.
A noise like Of a hidden brook
In the ieafy month OF June,
That to the sleeping woods all night
Singeth a quiet tune.

I want women to understand themselves-to know what it is to bring forth the image of God And want mothers to impart this knowledge to their children. If they do so it will not be necessary to tol- crate 'Tenderloins,' and to care for the feeble minded and to build homes for degenerates and to sterilize crin- iaa1s.
 "I want to say to the mothers that if their daughters have a nice little home of their own no matter how poor, they are better off than the wo- man in the streets, who has been brought down to degradation, while the man who is her partner in sin is received in society, and we women throw our pure daughters into his arms and never say word Mothers should dare to ask 8 man, Are you as pure as my daughter whom you expect to marry 9 I do not believe in prostitution.
 We are taught that it is a neces- sary evil. I say it's an unnecessary curse. Who are the victims? Why, our daughters, of whom a million out of those who are brought into the world die every four years, prey to the ell0cLS OI In0y are brought forth to eater to our boys, our husbands. and our fathers, to ca ter to their lust and to enable them to SOW their wild oats The horror of it? You may die and your daughter may become the necessary evil When people come to think and to understand it. they will real ize that if women were reused to their might, we could stop the White Slave traffic and the market for prostitu- tion and stop it at once.

Women can clear the streets of male and female prostitutes at once by making men respect them. I teach a gospel of love and peace but I am eag- CT to fight for what I know is the only salvation of the race. I'll rent a hall; I'll build a church; I'll estab fish this work on a firm basis so that others who come after me will be able to carry on the battle for purif1cation of the body-the real Temple of God
