 IF HUN SAYS WOMAN
(Bv Eduar kennison

Ladies' day and a splendid address by Miss A. Elisabeth Brown. mis- sonary recently returned from Jerusa- lem where she has been stationed many years, were main features of the Brotherhood lunch at the y. M. C. A., Saturday. The tables were filled, and the presence of many women lent grace and dignity to the occasion.
 Dr. Wilkinson called upon the Rev. Ray Clarkson Harker to Getiver the invo- cation. and after the luncheon, which was just a little better than usual in honor of ladies day, Dr. Wilkinson, ip very neat addSass, welcomed the Wo- men, quoting from ionSfelloW and Browning to illustrate the imposSibil- ity of man doing anything in a worthy way without womans assistance. Among the gems of thought with which | Dr. Wikinson's remarks were replete were these:
 NO man ever lived a right life un- | less it had been chastened and sus- | tained by some good womans love- Miss Brown Speaks
 | Speaking of Shakespeare high es- | innate of woman, he said, in all his wonderful works he has no heroes, but all his great characters are heroines." | After announcing that plans might be had for the proposed auditorium by all who cared to inspect the sketch by MT Osborn and a brief discussion of meth ods outlined by pr. Nasmith on church brotherhood, Dr. Wilkinson introduced Miss Brown who said in part:
 Just a year ago l was asked to give up my home and work in Jerusalem where had worked so happily, and l hope usefully for so many years. In stead of taking the usuaI comfortable steamer for a short and pleasant Voy- age home, we were compelled to take the longer rout by Damascus, on to AL leppo, then to Tarsus, the scene of Paurs labor; thence to Constantinople where we were detained until Austria defined her attitude; then on to Buda- pest and finally to Switzerland when we were once more in touch with home people, Our journey home was with out incident. We saw no submarine, nor yet any wreckage marking the de- struction of a vessel.
 Worst Is True
 T want to speak to you of life as it was, and from what I can hear, as ii now is in the city of Our King, that city where many of us believe He will soon come to reign in power and glory, for He speaks when I set up my kingdom
 T want to tell you that the worst you have read of destruction and deso- lation in Europe is much like that iT Palestine. No outrage, no cruelty, suf- fering or starvation there has sur passed what I have myself witnessed or those associated with me. in tho work of trying to get relief to these people.
 No picture I can bring you will tel of the awful horrors of people dying by thousands from famine, plague and th' : horrors of war. Little children crying in the night for bread. and the wear! heartache of the mothers who had nt bread to give them, and the terrible agony when at last the little voice wa! stilled in death. I have seen peopl,
 who had never known want contendin. with the dogs in the street for bones already cast aside. that they migh boil them once again and perchanc, get a little nourishment for thei- loved
 ones.

 reality is worse than anything yet pic l, tured.

 The address was heard with the mos
 profound attention, and there wer
 tears in many eyes. At the close d mo
