Woman Lives on Higher Plane
Morally than Man, Says Sunday

~ OuA anu ma Ou a. q us
fool to marry an unconyerted man
who is afraid to be a Christian.
Take this from Uncle Fuller:
Don't worry if you don't marry:
there are worse things in the worlC
than being an old maid, and one Of
them is marrying the wrong man.
Love is the divinest gift Of God 70
man and woman. Some of the
noblest women in the world have
been old maids. They are simply
ladies in waiting" But l tell you,
girls. ! would rather be an old
maid. with dogs. cats. furniture
and brica-brac than TO be yoked
TO profane cigaret smoking
cursing, whisky soaked jug handle
for husband.
And say. girls, don't shipper and
look silly when you speak of love
There is nothing silly about it, al
though some folks are silly because
they are in love. Love is the pur-
est and noblest gift to man and
womanhood. Don't let your actions
advertise MAN wanted quick. 9"
That is the surest way not 20 get 4
real man You might get some
thing with pantaloons on, but that
is not a man. Some men should
be arrested for going around and
being disguised as men. Don't get
excited and try to hurry things
along If the man wants you, he'll
come around in his good time. and
don't try to do half the counting
Don't bestoY the love that God
gave you on a brindle nosed pug
A woman has to love something,
but I don't call a dog something.
Don't teach your girls, mothers.
that the only thing in the world is
to marry. A girl is a big fool to
marry an infidel. God says, BE
We not unequaIIy yoked with IN
believers" If she does she Will
have a hard life as sure as she
lives. The offspring Of such mar
riages either follow in the foot
steps of their father and go to hell,
or cling to their mother and are
sneered at all their life by their
father.
Time for Plain Preaching.
It has simply come to this, that
somebody has to preach plainly,
and that somebody seems to be me.
Most of the preachers nowadays
don't amount to shucks. They
don't preach along the lines that
the people need. More attention
should be paid to our girls and less
10 money blindness. We are let
ting our children find out too much
for themselves. We take children
and turn them loose at school, and
they keep company, and there is
some fellow loose in his language,
and when your children come home
and repeat those stories to you,
you throw up your hands in horror.
You ask: .When shall l tell my
chiId?" When it is old enough to
know: when II begins to ask ques-
tioHs, at different ages, because
children are different, some dc
earlier than others. They should
know when they begin TO question
you. Don't lie to them: tell them
as much as they can understand.
What shall / tell them?" be
ueve the time is coming when sex
hygiene Will be part OF our public
school curriculum as much as
grammar or arithmetic. Girls will
be taught in classes of themselves
by a competent woman teacher,
and boys in classes by themselves
by a man. l believe the time will
come when we will be forced to do
it because of the great tidal wave
of vice that IS sweeping over the
nation. The boys ana girls of today
are going to hell at an awful clip.
The girls of today, IL years OF age,
can tell their gTandmothers
things"
II a God fearing woman marries
a God fearing man they'll have Gcd
fearing children.
What paved the way for the
downfall Of the mightiest dynasty
proud and naughty Greece-and
imperial Rome? 1t was degreda-
ton of her womanhood. I tell you
virtue of womanhood is the ram
pant wall of civilization. You break
that down and with the, stones
thereof you can pave your way to
hell.
If the womanhood of America
was not purer than manhood they
should all be dumped into he'll.
There are 10000 girls ruined in
America in one year; 5000 a month
or 178 a day. Seventy-ive thouS
sand young girls were ruined ard
sold as white slaves last year. a
man guilty of dealing in white slav
cry should be shot on the spot.
Women touch the limit both ways.
\ good woman is the best thing
this side of heaven. A bad woman
is the worst thing this side OF hell.
Women do not realize their power.
