that would save women the labor of
sewing by hard re had never seen
a sewing machine but he had faith,

but can touch His by faith. Take
faith out Of the world, and see what

Take away Christianity, and the
world would be two hemispheres OF
laZarettos. two hemIspheres OF
hrothels and all tho vilest ofrscour-
ings Of the earth.

In Him would be savod. Wrong be-
