A bath in soda water is as refreshing in winter as in summer. Oil paint is best for the nursery walls if one can possibly have it. 5 The tabernacle nursery was in charge of the Presbyterian ladies last evening; Wednesday evening in charge of Mrs. Dan Sprang’s class; and Tuesday in charge of Mrs. J.

A PLAIN TALK TO WOMEN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONLC) Solomon had 700. The word "virtuous" really mean? "strong" so that our text would read: "Who can find a strong woman?" A good woman is the best thing this side of heaven, a bad woman the worst thing this side of the pit. Limit Both Ways. A woman touches the limit I oth ways; site rises higher and falls lower than man. The most degraded human being on earth today is woman; the purest character on earth today !s woman. Woman blesses or curses everything she touches. Eve damned this world; Mary gave to it a savior Incipient Rome rotted for want of woman; imperial Rome rotted on account of her fast women. The stage and the ball room never cursed the world till women cursed them. A town never falls below its worst woman and never rises higher than its best woman. The homes at your town are on a level with your women, and your town is on a lev. 1 with your homes. Nothing can hurt woman like sin.and nothing can destroy sin like woman. Christ and woman can save this world, the devil and women can damn it. Woman seems to be the battle ground for ail good and bad forces. The woman of cur country will settle the destiny of ctfr country it is said that the price of a strong woman is beyond the value of rubies. This is not the time and place to deal with the fashion plates of the day. The truth is I don't care so much how a woman dresses provided she dresses with an eye single to health and modesty. 1 don’t care how big or small your sleeves are, or whether the large places is at the top or bottom. I do not care so much how you make your collors, just so you have collars. 1 like to see women dressed up—all the way up. It is queer that woman, upon whom modesty’s blush has its natural home, should become the leader of immodesty. Women are more immodest than men. Important Features. The mouth of woman is an important feature. So much has been said of a woman's mouth that I touch the subject with a degree of hesitation. I handle a woman's mouth like I handle a loaded pistol. You never know when it is going off. I have known many kinds of tongues; many women who said kind things, sometimes: at other times could say very bitter things. Sometimes speakX.softly and sometimes speak litirshiy. sometimes praise and sometimes criticise. Scrtctimes win you by gentle words; and .sometimes (in the vernacular of Mr. Sunday) skin you, with harsh oris. Do you know that there are many women, and seme of them professing Christians, who prey upon the character and feeling of others. A doubtful reputation is a banquet for them They revel in the details cf am/ r’.ruln. They say: "Have you heard the news? Just as expected. Our neighbor has go<e to pieces and ruin. Ha. Ha.” That professing Christian women having heard of the wrong-doing of some sister in the church, instead of hiding the sin with the mantle of charity, peddle it all around the streets. Spreads Stcry. She takes the afternoon to make her long neglected calls. She tells the story ten times before the sun goe down, and every time tells it larger. She says: "Would you have thoug.it it? Well y always said there v something wrong about her. Why I slioul not speak to her if I met her i on the street. Isn’t it horrible? Better not say anything about it, because there may be some mistake. I do not i want my name involved in the mat- : ter. 1 guess I will just go over and ask them across the street whether i they have heard it. Guess it must t be so, for Mary Ann says her husband i saw a man who heard from his btiui- t ness partner that his biind old grandmother had seen sometjiing that looked very suspicious. i The most loathsome, miserable God- i forsaken wretch upon earth is a gos- < siping woman. I can tell her on the I street although I have never seen her s before. She walks fast and has her ( bonnet strings loose, for she has not had time to tie them since she heard 1 the latest scandie. c When Satan has a job so infiniit oly t mean that in all the pit he cannot r find a devil mean enough to do it, he d sends up to earth and gets some old f gossiping gadabout of a woman to do s It. Amid the thunder crash of Sinai h God said: "Thou shalt not bear false p witness against thy neighbor.” And f in Leviticus He says: “Thou shr.lt r not go up and down as a tale bearer." b Oh take not into your ear that scum s of hell called “tittle-tattle.” a What World Needs. t What the world wants now more' p than anything else is about 50,000 old v fashioned mothers and wives. Women!a who shall realize that the highest, !t grandest institution oh earth is the' t home. It is net ne<-.ess-ary that th--.y!t should have the old time or old faah-lf

ioned customs of their glorified ancestry, but mean the old spirit which began with the Hannahs and Abigails of scripture days, and was demonstrated in the homesteads where some of us were brought up, though the old house long ago was pulled down and its occupants scattered never to meet until in that highest home that await the families of the dighteous. While there are more good and faithful mothers and wives and sisters now than ever before, society has got a wrong twist on the subject, and there are influences abroad that would make women believe that their chief sphere is outside instead of inside the home. Hence in many households children instead of being a blessing are a nuisance. It is a curd case verus child’s primer; carriage versus cradle; social popularity versus domestic fllicity. Hence infanticide and ante-natal murder so common that all physicians, allopathic, hydropathic, homopat die and electric are crying out in horror; and It is high time that the pulpit joined with the medical profession in echoing and re-echoing the thunders of Mt. Sinai which says: "Thou shalt not kill,” and the book of Revelations which says: “All murders shall have their place in that lake which burnetii with fire and brimstone.” There is a shamelessness among many women that calls for vehement protest. The strife with many seems to be to see how near they can come to the verge of indecency without falling over it. The tide of masculine profigacy will never turn back until there is a decided refromaticn in womanly costume. It is high time that our good and sensible women make xehement protest against fashionable indecency, and if the women do not realize the deplorable extremes of much of female costume, then husbands should implead their wives on this subject and fathers prohibit their daughters. The evil in many places is terrific and overshadowing. The parlor and the drawing room are now running a race with the theater and the opera and it is high time that the printing press and the platform and the pulpit hurl red hot anathema at the boldnes of much of womanly attire. Christian women neither by style of dress or adjustment of apparel should become administrative of evil. Fashion Plates. Show me the fashion plates of any age between this and the time of Louis XVI of France and Henry VIII of England and I will tell you the type of morals and immorals of that age or that year. No exception to it. Modest apparel means a righteous people. Immodest apparel means a contaminated people and depraved society. Oh, for some new Shakespeare to arise and write the tragedy of human clothes. Due to Women. I charge the immoral condition of our men today to the mothers and daughters when they knew they are living lives of sin. Many a wife by refusing the claims of God upon her, by shutting up her life to Christ, has, driven her husband away from the church, away from the home, had driven him to the saloon and Io a life of sin. I have seen rr.en that have been hardened with sin, you would think they were sin hardened beyond redemption. yet I have seen those men take me by the hand, tears coursed down their cheeks and thanking God that they had a Christian wife, and they were clinging to that one hope as a drowning man would to a straw. Many a man, no matter how far in sin has to thank God for a Christian wife. 1 repeat it, that the women of our land are going to save or you are going to damn the men of our land. I pray God tonight that as mothers, as wives and daughters you may have an honest vision of your tremendous responsibility and shave the courage to meet it. Thursday Afternoon. 1 Keep your hearts singing all the ' while, and you will make other hearts 1 as happy as you are. Following the opening song service and prayer by 1 Mr. Clase, Rev. Honeywell gave the 1 second part of his sermon on Secrets 1 Os The Soul Winners Life. "Rely in God’s strAigtli for no man is able to stand anti do service witli out His strength. You are all able J to do work, know what it is to do right but the Holy Spirit will never ' do for you what you are able to do fbr yot'jrself. God will give the 1 strength and power to save souls but he wants you to do that. You can ' plead and implore with some lost one for hours but if you have not done £ right yourself your efforts will be use- r less. Don't give up if you are not < succesful at first God is back of you and your influence might count more J than you think. One of the most im- , portant things to remember is tilts . work is to pray to God for strength 1 and power, this revival will never be X the success we want it to be unless 11 the people of Decatur get down on their knees and pray to God right c from their hearts. God will hear

your prayer and give you strength t<> I save souls. More things are wrought, by prayer than this old world ever dreamed of. Again you must have faith that will manifest Itself hi victory, a faith that will laugh at every Impossibility. Believe in God and serve Him in earnest and you will receive the blessing of that faith and I your influence wil have no limit. It makes no difference whatever whether or uot you are orator or a man of fame, you can believe in God and be a good man through your faith in Him. God makes it necessary that you have a desire to save souls before you will meet with the success tin t we all are working for. Jesus had a passion for souls, Moses had a passio.i for souls and you are able to save souls just as well as they. Make your desire known to God and if you will tarry at the foot of the Cress and pray in earnest for that strength you are sure to meet with success. oPUBLIC SALE.
