I'he best example of self-denying liberality in the Bible is recorded of woman. The best example of loving service in the Bible is recorded of woman. The example of conquering prayer in the Bible is recorded of woman. The gift was a widow's mite ; the service w’as the anointing of Jesus with a box of ointment ; the prayer was a mother s for a daughter possessed with a devil. Jesus never let fall such words of royal commendation as concerning these three women. Of the poor widow he said, “ She has cast in more than they all.’ Of Mary he said, “ She hath done what she could.” And to the Canaanitish mother he said : “ O woman, great is thy faith ! Be it unto thee even as thou wilt ” — Dr. Herrick Johnson The extent to which the abuse of alcoholic drinks exists in private families is very great and the consequences are fearful.
