DR.. Lyon took his text from Prov
erbs 30-"Favor is Deceitful and
Beauty Is Vain; but the woman that
fearoth the Lord shall be praised"
He struck right and left at the evils
attendant in the every day life of the
women. He spoke Of the rise of wo-
men in the business world and on
their exploits in Equal Suffrage cam

In the absence Of II. G. Clase. the
singing was led by Mrs. Grace Powell,

cluded Me-" Sunshine in My 5pul. "
Il Would be Like Jesus" and 81 Love

Or. Lyon stated that the advance
ment Of the daughters Of this gener-
alton into the professional field had
opened multitude OF dangers to
which the mothers and the grand
mothers knew little or nothing about
and for that reason alone he had taken
his text as the "Ideal Woman" He
added further that he thought IL best
to keep close to the word OF God i'm
the discussion thereof and not pre-
sent his personal views on the subject
Many a woman can make or break
a husband" the evangelist stated.
"Some men have been made social
ly, financially, politically. morally and
spiritually by the wife and again in
iother cases the man has been him
dered and blighted in almost every
respect by frivolous, superficial and
ungodly wife"
"The woman OF today must be a
worker she has no more right to- be
lazy than man. All some women
think about is to have as little house
keeping to do as possible, and when
that is done. or i'm some cases before
b It is done. TO run-on to the theatre
the bridge game or poker party. If
have any message to the women OF
America, IL is especially to the mod
. ern society devotoe. that creature who
needs salvation the most and wants
| IL the least"

, and the comfort she should be to the
Z husband returning home from the day

II When in conclusion he touched on
a the religious side OF lives OF women
20 he quoted the word OF God and pre-
N sented the ideal woman from the

AZ ed to them to make Wilmington dry
J. AS he issued the invitation Il was
d some time before the first penitent
came over the trail, but when the ice
J. was broken others were soon to fol-
d low the example.
IF The evangelist pleaded and the
e great body of personal workers went
/. to every part Of the tabernacle. bui
e only ffty-siX women could be mus
l- tered out OF the 5000 to accept the
y invitation.
While the service was in progress
'f four men entered the building. Three

Ie a seat and made himself at home. The
ID evangelist was In the middle of his
sermoR but he stopped and remark
s. ed: Beat II. brother. This Is not

Still the man held his ground
The situation became amusing and
the women started 10 applaud, but
L. the evangelist was determined and
q. he descended from the pulpit and
