Wm, Simpson Naylor Block Phone 150 When a woman wills she will and when she won’t she will, but not as much as a man. There is no getting around it we have to give it to the Women. It was a woman who hunted up the grub for Adam and also the clothes he wore. It was a woman who helped Columbus discovered America; it was the women who started the wars; who raised the soldiers and then got busy and stopped the wars. It was the women who defeated Hughes and eelected Wilson. They are to blame for everything good and everything bad. If it was not for the women where would we be. We would be in the Garden of Eden with nothing to Eat and Wear. Eve wasn’t in the Garden 15 minutes till she started looking for something for her and Adam to eat and wear. She knew they would soon get sick of Apples, so she was in a hurry to get out of the garden and get a change of grub and scenery. Woman is natur ally a provider. Before you were born your mother was making clothes for you. The better provider the wo man is the better dresesd and fed the menfolks are. I used to think they didn’t know much but after being in this business a year I found they are a good deal quicker to grab a good deal in grub or clothes than a man is. They buy better stuff and never let the pennies hide the dollars. But it’s hard for a woman to pay cash because the men won’t give them the money. But say when they do get the cash they know right where to go. There is a few who have listened to this “quality talk” for years and years and it was hard to convince them that they could buy better goods for less money by paying cash. But when they had been shown day after day, week after week, for the last fifteen months can you blame them for coming here. No. Nobody blames a man or woman for going to a cash store when they have the cash. It’s business. And the man or woman who don’t run their home on business principles is heading for the rocks. Wealth is like the Irishman’s flea. It’s here today and gone tomorrow. Wil ful waste makes woeful want. You may think because you are safe today you are safe forever. Look back a year. See who were on top a year ago. They are down and out today. The ones on the bottom who gathered and saved are on top today. The road to the top is hard to climb but the road from the top to the bottom is slicker than glass. And there is nothing will start you on the slippery slide quicker than buying in credit stores.

There was a large crowd to witness the ceremony, and after the wedding feast served to the “little guests” the whole congrega tion went home pronouncing it an evening of great delight. Every one of the little tots participating in the ceremony did his part exceptionally well. In the afternoon the little bride and groom stood in the window at R. R. Morrison store and a large crowd of people gathered to see them. Last Sunday evening the Rev. Jno. Crews, at one time pastor of this church, preached a helpful sermon to a large congregation. His sermon was one of those old time kind, and the' thoughts he offered were good. The book of Revelation is our book for study at the prayer meeting ser vice on Wednesday evening.
