GIRLS!
God and your country need you. Why? “That our daughters may be as the polished corner stone.” Polished, not veneered, not varnished, not painted; but polished, beautiful, enduring, and strength-giving psalm. Your mother needs you helpful, reliable, loving and kind. Your Father needs you quick, bright, wise, and clever. Your Brother needs you as confidante, chum, and councellor. His mate needs you as a strong, pure, brave helper. Other boys need your wisdom, power, and girlish goodness to help them resist temptation and sin. Other girls need your modesty, strength, and courage to help them in times of terrible difficulties and dangers. Drink and vice and awful disease — the outcome of evil —arc imperilling our Empire. Drunkenness destroys thousands and tens of thousands. We want you to join our Young Women’s Christian Union, to make .t purer world to live in. Membership fee, is a year. BESSIE LEE-COW lE.
