THE WOMEN AND
GREATER ONTARIO
Continued from page 2.)

l want to speak more specifically
of three things:
1. Women and Society.
1. Let me call your attention to
the service women may render to the
social life.
II has always received a contra
diction in character that the woman
that can speak sweetest words mortal
tongue may utter, should also be
capable of uttering words filled with
the bitterest venom possible for NOR
tai tongue to speak. II may not be
true, but the charge is sometimes
made that the devils most efficient
weapon is the gossip of woman.
1 | hope the charge Is unfounded. but
let me urge you. as would the men,
ust this God given power of speech
as God intended. Withdraw the
poison. Let your words be mess
engers of blessing
In your social life create sin
gle standard of morality. Let the
standard be the golden standard
Require no more nor no less of
women than you do of men. II you
welcome to your society, a moral lep-
er, for Gods sake let II be the sister.
Today the woman is ostracised.
while the man is too readily welcom-
ed. A golden standard for both men
and women will do much to make
In Ontario a moral purity required
In honorable society.
2. Admission to our society
should be by worth rather than
wealth Some may be 30 unfortun-
ate as to be wealthy, but they should
not add to their misfortune by ex-
cluding those noble souls who pos
sess great riches OF culture. charac- |
ter and beauty. II we could intro
duce into the fiavorless "upper
crust" some OF the splendid leayen
from among the poor nobility. so
ciety would be redeemed from much
Of Its worthlessness. The real aris-
tocracy In found among those who
possess the wealth of soul. Make
Ontario society 40 democratic that
the pass word will be "she IN
worthy"
III. Women and Home Building.
1. would urge the women of
greater Ontario to be home builders
Let the home be the place OF your
supreme influence. II you have time
for club life. II can be made both
pleasant and profitable, and the
church demands much OF your time,
attention and strength. hut no In
stitution has a right TO usurp the
home.
The best society that I can think
OF. whose object is To purify social
life In the society OF home builders.
2. The curse OF modern life, the
divorce. can be overcome through
this society. II some women would |
give AZ much time to real live boy |
or girl, as they do To the poodle dog
dog or maltese cat. this old world |
would be Infinitely better. The poor
deluded woman who chartered a
train and employed physician to ac-
company her old worn-out dog across
the continent to a dog hospital and |
when dead, purchased a coffin and
burial ground for him. In the type
Of woman who IN supplanting the
noble mothers and wives. distin-
guished for the homes they are
The sight heaven smiles
upon. is to see an offspring lean Its
head upon it's mothers breast aud
lisp the name. mother"
III. Women and Christ.
l. Finally. ! pray that the wom-
IN OF greater Ontario may infuse the
ihrist into their lives. All have

presence. Christ inspires beauty. II
lie is the author of our beautiful
world. "All things were made by
lin, and without Hin was not any
hing made that was made"
The social aristocracy by all so
iety Is to be measured by the
,hrist power. and the Christless
lome is a misnomer.
