AWAKENED WOMAN There is such a thing as righteous indignation. We see it all along the line that woman has to take her stand, and say thus far shalt thou go and no further, in more ways than one or she will remain crushed to earth forever. She must see it, stand for it and rise to it. Oh, these are the days that try the heart! Jesus said, "He that endureth to the end shall be saved"-that was all He said, just saved. Imposition has caused it all. Some things will have to be learned by each one of us, you cannot interfere with another's trust, no matter how true you are in principle or how very diligent you are in performing your duty. Oh! how it all hurts because we are all so far from the goal-how long, Oh! Lord, how long! We are happy and work, work is better than talk. Words seem to be blows at times. They are useless unless conscious thot supports them sufficiently to inspire unto deeds— "deeds speak louder than words." Yes, there is a "pearl of great price" to be found in the struggle woman has had and is having to obtain suffrage here in the "Land of Freedom." It is a long and tedious battle to force her to take herself seriously. She is now compelled to awaken to the realization that principle is her guide, not father, brother or husband. Woman has reared the children, cared for the home and sewed the seam for centuries, and how often has she felt it was useless to stand against overwhelming thot and conditions. Now, the "Spirit of the Times" insists that she shall rise to the exigency, gird her loins for the race to the goal, and even take her place in the affairs of the nations. Will man make this path smooth? Did you say no? Well, then, she will "stand alone," for when duty whispers low she must, then she replies "I can." Looking about us we behold absolute confusion and disorder in the household of the nations. Why? Mothers have been sleeping and the children have become so disobedient that they are now destroying themselves. We will have to turn to woman as "the hope of the world," and she will straighten out the tangle in affairs and restore order to the household. It is said that the first consideration of the members of the "Peace Table" was the placing of the blame of the great war. "Mothers of the race in bondage," are you thinking? When you are capable of clear reasoning thot, the answer to this question will nerve you to stand against this wall of ignorance, and learn to say "I will" and "I will not.' And then you will see to it that the children of the race are not born in bondage. REFLECTIONS There can be neither loss nor gain to the one who keeps busy building character, while the other one forever looks at the debit and credit items of the things he can gather today. The present and the time yet to come, will without the hazard of a doubt, prove this to be a fact. Trust in yourself, thru the application of moral uprightness to your daily life and the heartache caused by the failure of others shall never enter your door. The possibilities of the future were never so bright, so manifest to the understanding of many, as today. Now is the well-timed occasion to equip oneself to enter the great harvest field of the New Earth. A wondrous worker is nature. She never grows weary or faint-hearted. The crombling wall she covers with vine and flower. The battlefield on her bosom, torn and wounded from the destructiveness of her children of greater intelligence, she sets to work to heal. A breathing spell, a shower of rain, with the warmth of the sunshine, and she brings forth the vegetation of the earth and again-flowers. Each one must learn from her the lesson. Perhaps it may be to learn to forget, it may be to ever press onward, it may be there is no wound that she cannot heal, or it may be just smile and be happy.
