With a warm and tender 'heart, put j devotedly pulsating for the advancement and high- i est well-being of her sex, she valomu-dy de.-larr,: "I do not consider divorce an evil by any nn ans It is just as much a refuge for women marrirj brutal men as Canada was once a refuge from tyrannical masters. I will never vote for a resolution that will cut women off from refuge from designing design-ing and -brutal men." i i These sentiments, of course, betoken a loving- and loyal heart. But as for her mind well, what j business have the' mental, "faculties to" interim . with the sacred emotions of the heart, anyhow. f But, seriously, Mis Susan, not to urjre tho.

And if. as may hap- t Ten, one of the gentle sex, indiscrete!;.- or through j the agency of inscrutable fate, place, her nrek m J such a brutal snare, shall jhe well-being of litr 1 sisters in the aggregate be therefore jeopardized ; by destroying that sacred institution, the C'hrict- j ian home, which can only be maintained by render- ' ing indissoluable the marriage bond? If you would 1 but pause to reason a while, you miiat come W : I realize, as have the true-hearted and intellectual I men and women for ages past, that this -concept j of the marriage contract is woman's most price- : I less boon her one effectual protection asrainst the I utter degradation which was once her deplorable I lot and must, inevitably, again be under a pag-aa regime. Fortunate it is for the race of men. in view 'of the really all-dominating influence of womankind ; ,upon our human society, that the feminine heart is, almost invariably, a safe and holy guide. IWn- ' ly fortunate that its marvelous intuitiveness impels im-pels it to the acceptance of the holy and sol.oifiom guidance of the religion of Christ. It is to this divine di-vine dispensation manifested by woman's religion ; instincts let us hope, that, for the nonce, the devoted de-voted protest of this really noble-hearted woman, ' did not prevail. The National Council of Women put itself upon record against the iniquitous influence in-fluence of lax views concerning marriage. . I |
