ware. at their regular meeting. on Mon
day, March 8. voted on the question OF
Women's Suffrage and the majority vot-
ed in favor OF women being given the
right 10 vote.
We feel that the womanhoOd OF our
nation have too long been denied their
rights, and after the great assistance
they gave 10 our government during
the late war and the sacrifices they
made. we feel that no man who calls
himself an American should cast his
vote against such a worthy cause.
Wishing you and your co-workers
the greatest success ! remain,
Yours respectfully,

ion, No. 4, Wilmington. Delaware.

Baptist Church at Waynesboro, Va. is
entering upon his second week OF re-
vival services at Bethany. He speaks
at all OF the services today and
daily, afternoon and evening next week,
except Saturday.
His discourse was based on the
theme, And whose braketh an hedge,
q serpant shall bite" He traced sew
eral hedges that God has thrown about
the lives OF his people.
Referring to the homo as one OF the
hedges, he said:
Parents ought 10 restrain their
children from evil associates. Nothing
Is more important than the kind OF
company your boy and girl keep. There
are some young men that know who
wouldn't have comirA into my home 10

strain their children from reading bad
books. When a young sissy sits up until
2 o'clock In the morning TO read a dime
novel, there's no telling where she's
going.
