She has Just turned 10.
But her influence Is mightIer

Just been licensed by the Metho-

youngest girl preacher In the
country.
"I'll devote my life to denounc.
ing what / believe to be wrong,
and to pleading for the acceptance
Of religion" she says.
Raps Short Skirts
oreita's attention was diverted
by a woman, nattily attired in
fashions latest mode, who passed
the porch on which she was sit
ting.
TITS wrong for our women and
girls to wear such short skirts as
they are wearing today" she
broke out.
Then she glanced down at her
own feet, swinging schoolgirl
fashion under the porch railing on
which she was perched.
tits all right, of course, for
little girls" she added.
But the women of today don't
wear enough clothes to keep warm
and to protect their health. They
go about In short skirts, short
sleeves and peek-a-boo waists and
they take colds when there is no
sense In 1t.
81 wouldn't be wearing such
short sleeves myself but for an
accident at the dinner table last
night. My other dress was ruined
and l had to put on this one." and
alnced apologetically at her
elbow-length sleeves.
oreita doesn't look like a
preacher. She looked very much
like the little girl that she is as
she perched on the rails wlth'a .ig
black ribbon tied at her neck,
holding In the blonde hair.
But her rapid flow of words and
the shrewd look In her blue eyes
as she talked indicated an intel
ligence far above that of the usual
child Of her age.
