Union OrOVe.
Written for last weeks issue.]
Our community has just been favored
with a particular manifestation of the
love of God. On July 18th our worthy
pastor, Rev. E. w. Corley, began a
series of services at Union Grove, the
NJ. P. Church. He was assisted by Rev.
M. S. Hollenshead, President of the
NJ. P. Conference, Louisiana District.
Brother Hollenshead, with his uncom-
mon zeal and ability, applied himself
with the greatest diligence to our in
struction, for which he has a peculiar
gift, and this community found him full
exercise for it.
We declare our inexpressible thank
fitness unto Him that doeth all things
we'll, for our faithful and worthy Presi-
dent, and in variety of words writer
on our hearts as. with the adamantine
pen of modesty we praise God for the
successful meeting, which will never be
forgotten. Many sought by rigorous
ausserities to conquer an evil nature anc
bring heaven-born peace into theil
souls. There were sixteen additions tt
the church. May they go forth ane
proclaim the glories of our Lord.

novelist. Ouida.
On the terrace above the the park at
Strathmore Court, Lord Cecil Strath-
more was awaiting his friend, BERTHE
Enrol. Berthe was the only intimate
companion his lordship had. Though
scarcely FIVE years Errols senior.
Strathmore was the rising diplomat OF

from Lucille" he protested, "if-if-

Strathmore did believe that he was
immune to women's charms. Yet, a
month later, in Paris, saw him for the
first time in his life, infatuated with a
woman of bewildering beauty. She
was called La Vavasour. Society
knew her as the youthful wife of the
old reprobate, Lord Vavasour. All
the younger men were at her feet
But Lord Strathmore played the win

home with him to England. He intro

No nation can ever grow greater
than its women. None ever has; none
ever will 1t is the women who de-
eide the fate of nation, and that has
always been so, as history proves.
What tremendous power and re-
sponsibility, therefore, rests with
womankind. | wonder if they realize
it, In the poorer classes | think they
do, or are coming to, but the attitude
of the rich is appalling.
"The high ideals of womanhood
can never be realized in Colony clubs.
The mission of woman is to develop
human hearts and minds along char
stable and sympathetic lines. The
canker worm that is gnawing at the
vitals of our womanhood is the failure
Of the rich woman to fulfill her mis-
sion of life. We are society mad, and
the craze, | am sorry to have to say
it, but | realize that it is too true-is
growing worse.
GAS soon as every woman grasps
the idea that every other woman is
her sister, then we will begin, to bet
ter conditions. For instance, l saw a
girl in a store the other day ready to
drop from WEAKNESS. Her fatigue was
apparent, and yet | noticed a woman
customer loaded down with expensive
furs and Jewels call on this girl to get
down several heavy boxes OF goods.
Then, after glancing over them, she
concluded she didn't want to buy any
thing. This rich woman wouldn't
have asked her own sister to do that,
but she didn't view the shop girl in
that light. oh, no, she was only a
shop girl
Il spoke to this girl after the wom-
an had left and found that she work
ed about twelve hours day. and for a
dollar a day. Out of this she had to
buy her clothes, her lunch and supply
her carfare. What a lifel

in the subway to an old woman, do
you? No, never: but / have often had
a poor, tired shop girl rise with a
smile and proffer me her seat because
of my white hair.
Woman Who Doesn't Nurse Her Own
Child Is Wrong.
THE rich woman who has maid
to raise her child can't expect to gel
the right viewpoint of life If they
would raise their own babies their
hearts would open and their feelings
would become human. And the effect
on the child is just as bad.
