Show ( TF it must be so that our women. j toil like men, help us slill to reverence in them the mothers 1 of the future. But make us deter- '! mined to shield them from unequal r burdens, that the women of our ' J nation be not drained of strength , I 1 1 and hope for the enrichment of a feiv, lest our homes grow poor in the wifely sweetness and motherly ( love which have been the saving strength and glory of our country. r To such as yearn for the love ' 'i and sovereign freedom of their , i own home, grant in due time the i fulfilment of tlieir sweet desires. By Mary, the beloved, who bore the world's redemption in her ' bosom; by the memory of our own dear mothers who kissed our souls ' '! awake; by the little daughters , i who must soon go out into the world which we are now fashion- ing for others, we beseech thee 1 that we may deal aright by all I women.
