God never made a woman thus, to pull men down, but to be corn pan i 0 n , wife, mother, friend and inspiration. I suppose you would call Hcrod ias and her daugh ter, Salome , "vamps," today. She danced He rod into the pit of perdition, and danced the head of John the Bap tist off. Her whole life was given over to evil, self in dulgence and voluptuous pleasure. It ended in the rtfm of the king and the disgrace of his court, the degra dation of her own child and a place in the Bible history as the cruel murderess of the forerunner and cousin of Christ. Another example ' of a vampire woman is Drusilla. the mate of Fe- Christian Lives . Urged by Smith World Is Dying for Want Of Christ, Evangelist Declares.

"If he showed you all the ugly things yon had tolerated what would you" do? Would you do as Peter did and say,-4We believe Thou art the Christ?' ' "Would you have written that let ter or transacted that business? Cast out earthly things that are ugly. Let Jesus come into your life. He is a saving influence in society, home or the business world. He is necessary to all. The world is dying for the want of Christ." The Rev.

When the Apos tle Paul stood beore the pair, he spoke pointedly of morality and. fu ture punishment. The governor trembled, but Drusilla was un abashed. Just as it is possible for women to soar to heights unreached by men, so is it possible for women to fall fa'rther than any man, once they do start downward. It is within the power of women to make the world anew. They can inspire the noblest instincts of men, and ought to do nothing through their general deportment and manner of dress that would lower the re spect in which they are held. YThe erring woman of the Bible who is best known is Mary Magda lene. She saw the folly and error of her ways and in penitence of tears sought the feet of 'Jesus. Looking into her heart, and knowing she was penitent, Jesus said: "Thy sins are forgiven." , t Oh, the love which forgets the sin and remembers the sinner, in mercy and compassion. That is the Chris tianity I am preaching today.
