 Think of the influence of the women of the Scriptures upon the religious life of the world" Dr. Simpson said. The women who wrought with their hands in the adornment of the tabernacle have been the inspirational forsrunners of those innumerable groups who have driven the stakes of Old Religions habitation most firmly in the earth. Make a family tree of the children of faith and you run the branches back to a parent trunk into whose bark your sense of justice cuts very deep the names of Sarah and Rachel and Miriam and Hannah, and you would like to know the names of Noahs wife and David's mother, that you might cut them into that parent stem. Has not the hand of Hannah broken the bonds of a natural selfish ness limiting many mothers life, and forced her to say, My child, you arc dedicated to the Lord, and whitherso- were you go for Him, even to the utter most bounds of the earth, your mothers benedictions will go with you?

"The pagan nations sur- rounding Israel were a girdle of thorns to that chosen people; but in the lessen ing of that torturing girdle's pressure the Godly woman at her spindle made as vital contribution as the brave war rior with his sword.
