DO you feel that the women of the

frage" was recently asked Mrs. Deborah
Knox Livingston of Bangor, chairman of
the Maine suffrage campaign committee
"Oh, yes, indeed, she confidently re-
piled, The women of the church of God
are asking for the ballot for the King S
business in the Kings kingdom. They do
not think that they will revolutionize
society with the ballot, but they see how
II will help them in establishing socially,
educationally and industrialy a greater
righteousness, a more common JOY a
more universal peace than the world has
yet known.
The womanhood of the church Is d
great power-a power which men realize
must be reckoned with in the days to
come as it has not been in the days of
the past. The church has trained women
for service, and the women of the church
are asking for the help which they be-
lieve the ballot will give to them to meet
the problems which they continually face
in their field of service
" Where there is no vision. the people
nerish The women of the church have
had the vision. They are determined
that the r"onle shall not perish, Open
thou mine eyes that l may behold won
drous things is the prayer of these wom-
en- of vision in the church. The Lord of
Hosts has opened their eyes and they are
beholding the fields white unto harvest.
Shall they he denied the power which
shall help them establish the kingdom
Let me repeat it, the women of the
church want the ballot for the Kings
business and for the Kings kingdom and
believe that the men of Maine will
grant their women the ballot on Sept 10"
