the cooperation Of the wom-
en-. In times past there were
such . few women who did
not fear to help the men g
safely build better commun-
ity life. In this age when
women are recognized ~ be-
ing able to give reliable aid
to the community, in public,
a. well as in private life, all
women should in some man
ner join in the crusade.
Those who remain at home,
and are not going out to
work, can help to make their
community continue to 'im-
prove.
None OF the legal merri-
me mt OF young people Is
compelled 10 be cut out.
There Is no good reason
" by any well bred person
should not help his friends to
o, ercome all manner of evil,
that would lead them by the
way of the paths that are
full Of pitfalls and bitches.
When every boy and girl
have been given the oppor-
tunity to gain just a little
better understanding about
true being, there will be
no secret traitors of peace
and Goodwill to modern CIV
ilization.
Every old hateful filthy
disease that has gripped the
nations will be a)ated when
fear and hate is abated,
through the understanding
of the Christ ia the life Of
humanity.
Behave Like Citizens
Through little light. the
young people will all delight
in behaving like free born
citizens. The young people
in this modern new age will.
soon begin to put into action
that which is understood.
They will speak with new
tongues, against the kings
OF terror. fear, superstition,
hate and malice. And in all
fairness, their voices will be
heard. and more of living
humanity will begin to enjoy
the peace. JOY and content
mcnt afforded by the right
eousnesS. that leads TO life
eternal.
The work OF Christ was
teaching. preaching. healing
the sick. raising the dead.
lie taught the people how
to live peacefully. lie taught
them that the things he did,
were the will Of the Father
who sent him. and that all
which the Father gave him.
he should lose nothing.
And this is the will of
him that sent me. that every
one which seeth the son. and
believeth OH him, may have
everlasting life: and | will
raise him up at the last day"
