MORE WOMEN WANTED.
(To the Editor). Madam, —1 was pleased to see Miss Powell’s letter on “Hauling Down the Flag.” The.se are not times to contemplate disbanding. The times are too strenuous —evil is too evident. The need for godly women to work for “God, Home and Humanity” was never greater than to-day. These are great days for the temperance workers. Just as Kitchener sends out his message for “Men and More Men,” so does our work demand “Women and More Women.” We want every woman who is sheltered in a good home to think deeply how much good she might do for less fortunate sisters; for the children who gladden our land: for our Dominion, in which we live, if only she would be unselfish enough to come out and join hands with these women workers who are nobly doing all they can to help to make it easy to do right and hard to do wrong. If our own “White Ribboners” can quietly lav down their arms it means surrender. Surrender to the other side. God forbid that any Christian woman should do that while the sale of strong drink is licensed in our land. Our cause is just; God is with us. Oh my sisters, let us go again to the cross of Jesus, Whose we are and whom we serve, and there let us kneel until we have left all our failures, all our discouragements, all cur unfaithfulness. Jesus knows all about it, but iet us stay at the Cross until we can go out filled with the Spirit. He can use us then. He will use us, and we won’t want to lav down our arms. Someone will take courage from youis. Someone will rally to your call. A Spiritfilled life must be felt. We must marshall every force we have, and keep on
month bv month increasing them, and when next election comes, go right up, and possess the land for God, Home, and Humanity. Yours in Christ’s happy service, FLORENCE PASLKY, Pres. South Invercargill Union
