surest way for all of us to get our
rights is to read and study the Bible,

their scholarship to vary from the text
taken from Proverbs the 31st chapter,
no matter how private opinions and
practices may have been at variance
with its teachings. These sentiments
are not the whims of sensationalists
writing about the new woman, but
the scripture given by the inspirations
of God and describing for us God’s
model woman.

To tear the mask from leering royal
features —
To demonstrate in sight of all man
kind,
That kings are men —and subjects
more than creatures.
And publish’d by the sword —at home
abroad —
That all are equal in the sight of
God!
The world had need of thee in that
dark time,
God knew that need and prepared
thee to fill it!
Blood only could efface the guilt and
crime,
Os royal wrong, and it was thine to
spill it!

upon him temperance, the care of the
poor and then she tries to tone up
his domestic life by giving him the
token by which he can know a good,
true and right minded woman. The
wise writer of the finishing of the
book of Proverbs says of the woman
who is full of mental energy and
spiritual power that her value is far
above the rarest and richest gems.
Ever since women began to defy
masculine rule. feminine physical
beauty and sensuality of woman has
been bought and sold at a very low
rate.
Even in our own country and in
this generation the head of a Mor
mon church said in their temple,
“Brethren, why do your wives make
a fuss about every little sickness? It
is easier to get a wife than a cow.”
But the scriptures start out with the
statement that there is no such thing
as setting a price on this model wom
an after the grace of God. A good
wife is God’s best gift. Her hus
band’s heart rests safely in her integ
rity. He is rich enough without spoil.
“She will do him good all the days
of his life. She is industrious, she
seeketh wool and flax and worketh
willingly with her hands.” She adds
to the comfort of her house by. im
porting luxuries. She will not be kept
in idleness not to be a consumer; she
becomes a producer; she is careful in
the use of her time. She looks well
to her domestic affairs; she is a busi
ness woman. She sees too clearly the
great work God has placed in her
hands to indulge in silly idleness
fainting at a spider. She feels the
nobility of labor not leaving her hus
band to drudge in his business to
make the where-with-all to keep her
in idleness. She shares his business
burdens that he may share her stud
ies and culture and the blessed, beau-
tiful care of their children, and the
two are one in sen-ice and one in
pleasure like our Lord. She delights
not to be ministered to, but to min
ister. She is benevolent. She stretch
eth forth her hand to the poor, she
reacheth forth her hand to the needy,
she is far from being stingy with
her family. She keeps her dependents
in comfort, she is not afraid of the
snow, for all of her household are
well clothed.
The husband of such a woman has
the gentle manners that belong with
such a home and with her faith and
love beside him he succeeds in life; he
is known in the gates when he sitteth
with the elders of the land.
In all heathen lands and even
among degenerate Christians women
are spoken of with contempt. It has
been one of Satan’s shrewdest tricks
to degrade the mother, knowing that
her hand shapes the life and forms
the civilization; strength and honor
and the clothing of God’s model wom
an and she shall rejoice in time to
come. She has no anxiety about the
future; she knows her beauty may
fade and her social charms grow less,
her strength and honor will grow rich
er as the years go by; she knows
something and can tell it. It has
been one of the devices to padlock the
lips of the woman most loyal to God
and who has the most helpful knowl
edge of human nature. Where women
are held back from large interests,
their energies are apt to expand into
idle gossip and make mischief. This
is true also of men. When God’s
women have the chance to speak, they
do it well. “She giveth her mouth
with wisdom and her tongue is the’law
of kindness.” She aims to secure the
salvation of every soul possible.
We can say of our Mrs. Mary Har
ris Armor, she is equal to the Queen
Mother spoken of in the 31st chapter
of Proverbs. Her husband is never
afraid to say many daughters have
done virtuously but thou excellest
them all and her children rise up and
call her blessed. The crowning glory
of this woman’s life is /her Godli
ness.

THE JOY OF REAL TRUST.
Dear Golden Age Family: G’ory
and honor and praise and dominion
unto the Lamb forever, for he is
worthy. Praise his name! That is
the way I feel and I just want to wit
ness for him in the faith and obedi
ence of life so far as he has been able
to lead me. Oh, that I might surren
der to him more and give him great
er right of way in my life!
Three months ago God clearly called
me out to represent in the churches
a work of his own planting, and let
me realize something of what it means
to have the “woe is me” if I go not.
He seemed to be holding me respon
sible for everything every child of His
would do, for this special phase of His
work, but didn’t do because of any
failure to tell them about it. At first
I shrank back in perplexity; there
seemed so many reasons why I could
not go. I placed my excuses all be
fore him and he melted them away likw
mist before the morning sun.
The needed articles for my ward
robe came from sources least expect
ed; the suitcase came; a teacher came
who could take my classes. The ticket
:ame.
Already had one invitation come to
go back to the church I had visited
last summer. The only open door that
I knew of, but I entered this only to
find it opened another and this an
other. Each succeeding one opening
several others.
Thus my Father made my dates, and
gave me the message and took charge
of results. Each church responded.
Country churches with wagons of pro
duce such as corn, potatoes, turnips,
cabbage, pumpkins, etc. City church
es sent in purses and boxes of clothes,
Christmas confections, toys, etc. He
bountifully supplied all my m needs
according to his riches in glory; paid
all my expenses, furnished use of
buggy and horse for several weeks for
reaching places off the railroad.
After three months’ absence. I re
turned to find the work at the insti
tute and orphanage moving on as well
or better than ever. Praise him! Sure
ly he would not thus bless the repre
senting of a work that has not the seal
of his approval. Am more convinced
than ever this is God’s very own work
and that he has in mind for Elhanan
greater usefulness than it has ever
known.
Just recently he sent us a very ac
complished and talented music and art
teacher from Missouri; sent us a mag-
WHERE DRUGS FAIL.
Many chronic diseases fail to re
spond to drug treatment, even in the
hands of the best physicians, whereas
acute diseases usually respond readily.
When a disease has become chronic,
drugs often seem to do as much harm

bels against them. It is just this class
of cases which derive the greatest
benefit from Shivar Mineral Water. If
