II love to tell the story,
Because | know It's true.
1t satisfies my longing
AS nothing else can do"


struck as by a sharp arrow, by the
song. He said: Nothing has ever
satisfied my longings. I've been in the
old world, and in the new; on land
and sea; have been poor and rich; l
have tried all sports, but, nothing has
ever satisfied my longing" He
locked his saloon. walked away into
the fields outside the city, and kneel-
ing in the grass, prayed to God to
forgive his sins and save his soul.
Then he came in and found a prayer
meeting which General Howard was
conducting. He said: rs this Gods
house?" The General said: Eyes"
MAY I speak?"
eve shall be glad to hear you"
please sing first to me, 1love to
tell the story?" After the song he
arose, and glancing at the crusaders,
said: God bless those women" Then
he told the above story, and entered
at once into Christian work, with Gen.
Howard, who testified that when he
left for another post. five years later
there had been no slackening of his
fidelity. Let US therefore not only
dare to pray for the drunkard. but for
the rumseller as we'll.
For the lion of Judah can break
every chain and give US the victory,
again and again"
A busy woman should find time to
belong to so worthy an organization
as that. admit, busy woman's first
duty, is in her own home. but her
duty does not stop there; she must
help to save others from sin. History
and scripture attest to this truly,
that God has never called upon the
lazy or the idle when help was need
ed for his service. When He has inn
portant work to be done, He goes to
those who are already at work. When
Jesus wanted James and John for his
disciples, He found them busy mend
ing their nets; when God sent for
Saul to be King over Israel, he was
found searching the hills for his
fathers beasts; when He wanted Gid
con for one of the deliverers of Israel
he was busy threshing wheat; when
He wanted a Prophet and sent for
Elisha. they found him out in the
field, blowing with twelve yoke of
oxen.
1t will also be seen from scripture,
that in the primitive church. woman's
undoubted prerogative was to take
some very active part in propogating
the religion of Christ. 1t is clearly
declared that certain women labored
with Paul in the Gospel" and not
only with him, but with others of his
fellow laborers. .......
In other places, it is affirmed that
women "labored in the Lord" labor.
ed much in the Lord, and, as in the
case of Mary. bestowed much labor
on the Apostles. Pheba was a ser.
want of the church at Carsarea, and
a succorer, of many" while Priscells
was "Paufs helper in Christ Jesus,
who, on account of her devotion to thC
cause, received the thanks of call the
churches of the Gentiles." We hole
that woman constitutes half the peopl,
that sex should play no part in hui
man activities, that the interests %
man and woman are identical, tina
every human being must work on
his, or her own salvation in world
building as we'll as in the individual
soul-building. So when God want
some great work done for Temper
ance He often asks it of the woman
who has many household tasks o
cares. and it is interesting to not
how many things she can do and 70
that reason she should belong. Sh
can pay her dues which help in car
'rying on the work all over the world
