A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order Of COM
partnership, civilization has lowered
to its greatest heights. In this rela'
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress. she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage. thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not party.
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned divine covenant. and as .
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
oman should remember that 1t Is .
dangerous thing to debase woman BY
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes on the backs Of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and un'
ashamed.
