WALTER RA use HENBUSCH. 0 God, we pray thee for oi.r sisters who are leaving the an cient shelter of the home to earn their wage in the factory and the store, amid the press of modern life. Save them from the strain of unremitting toil that wouid un fit them for the holy duties of home and motherhood which the future may lay upon them. Give them grace to cherish under the new surroundings the old sweet ness and gentleness of woman hood, and m the rough mingling of life to keep their hearts pure and tf eir lives untarnished. Save them from the terrors of utter want. Teach them to stand loyally by their sisters, that by united ac tion ihey may better their common lot. If it must be so that our women ton like men, help us skill to reve rence in them the mothers of tne future. But make us determined to shield them from unequal bur dens, that the women of our na tion be not drained of strengtn and hope for the enrichment of a few, lest our homes grow poor in the wifeiv sweetness, motherly love, which have been the saving strength and glory of our country. To such as yearn for the love and sovereign freedom of their own homes grant in due time the fulfil ment of their sweet desires. By Mary, the beloved, who carried the world’s redemption in her bosom; by the memory of our own dear mothers who kissed our souis awake; by the little daughters who must soon go out into that world which we are now fashioning for others, we beseech thee that we may deal aright by all women.
