It is sure that if this rule had continued until this day, that one-half of the church would be nearly empty. It always seemed to me if I were a man preacher and un- derstood men as only men can understand, that I would invent some way to get men into the church.

WOMAN'S DAY.
But to return to the foremother. There was one time when she was at peace. That was when she read her Bible and was engaged in prayer. The family prayer, morning and evening, was her solace, and at ten each day many of our foremothers sat down calmly and opened the Bible and read that upon which their eyes first rested. She opened and read believing that she was led to read, and was filled with an all- pervading peace. She marked, learned and inwardly digested, was lifted up and took up her burdens anew, feeling that her God, who was austere and cold, was still her protector and savior.
Now most of our foremothers scolded. I am glad they did. When I was a child I used to drive this country over with an uncle who bought cattle, and I used to hear the talk of the farmers and my uncle, and every little while I would hear them men- tion some foremother, long since gone. Sometimes they would laugh and say, "She was a termagant, or a scold, or a Hellyan," etc. When we in our peaceful, comforta- ble homes, look back to the old log cabins, the cold winters, the endless work, the large families, the semi-servitude, we rejoice that the foremothers did scold; that they chafed under the yoke. We are glad they did, instead of submitting in weakness; because with that spirit of non-submission our grandmothers and mothers were born, and we to-day are thus filled with a spirit of justice; we want just what our foremothers wanted, only they feared to say so.
Just as our forefathers chafed under the English rule, and escaped to America to be free, never expecting to establish such a great Republic as this, so did our fore- mothers wince under oppression and contend for greater advantages, never dreaming what was to follow. As our forefathers made the Union of States under one great sys- tem a possibility, so our foremothers made it possible for us to establish a true Republic where each individual can develop himself as he may wish to do.
The next address was by Mrs. R. H. Wright, of Akron, whose topic was, "Are We Worthy of Our Ancestors?" Mrs. Wright said it was not specific what ancestors were intended. Mr. Darwin had found some remote ancestors who were perhaps not worthy of emulation by any one, but she supposed her topic was limited to the ancestors of the pioneer days. After extolling the pioneer ancestors, Mrs. Wright pointed to some of their characteristics, exemplified and broadened in the present generation. She thought the women of the year 1896 were worthy of their ancestors. She spoke of the homes of Cleveland, both on its broad avenues and on the side streets, as the workshops in which the women of Cleveland were forming character. She referred to the walls of Nehamah, and prayed the women of Cleveland to build up characters that would be walls of defense for Cleveland against vice and immorality of all kinds. At the conclusion of this address Miss Cohen again sang a selection, " The Indian's Death Song."
Then came the closing address of the session. In presenting Mrs. Kate Brownlee Sherwood, of Canton, as the next speaker, Mrs. Babcock said :
And now putting other things behind us, ere we separate, never to meet again as we do now, let us lift our hands heavenward and look out-onward, upward and very reverently godward, and ask-what of the future? What of the century upon which we enter? What has it in store for us and our children "even unto the third and fourth generation ?" This is Woman's Day; we are proud and grateful for so much of opportunity. We would understand our responsibility, and what duty is, - and do it !
Mrs. Sherwood's address was a prophecy, her subject being " Look- ing Forward." She spoke as follows:
We have had many a backward look to-day, to the time when the brave women heroes of the Western Reserve were cheerfully enduring hardships and privations for the sake of their little children, and for the future State and nation in which they had no unimportant part as founders. We have seen how the humble cabin home was the abode of pure and simple tastes and Christian refinement, and how within them were

reared the sons and daughters destined in a wider sphere to become the hopeful and patient pioneers of a newer and more complex civilization.
To-day we stand upon the outlook with the old order of things merging into the new. Pioneer women of a more material age have done their part and done it nobly. From them we have learned patience and industry and application; we have learned faith and hope and Christian charity. They have taught us self-reliance and courage, and the great spiritual and fundamental truths that God has indeed poured out his spirit upon the children of men, the sons as well as the daughters. Thanks to the pioneer fathers and mothers, we are plentifully endowed with houses and lands, churches and schools; the triumphs of science, and the high secrets of art.
Every pioneer mother was an active factor in the domestic life, every hand was busy, and there were no drones to consume the honey they had not gathered. Taking a forward look, what do we see, or rather what do we not see? On one side looms up the mount of woman's ignorance, and on the other side the mount of selfishness and folly. Only bright vistas can be seen between them of the pioneer women of to-day, banded together to overthrow all forms of error and superstition, and toiling unceas- ingly to build a new social fabric, which shall replace the social fabric of to-day, as the palace itself has replaced the log cabin of a hundred years ago.
The mount of ignorance which stands before us is an accretion of the ages. Every woman who has shirk- ed a known duty and turned to the flesh-pots of Egypt when she should have been going forward in the land of promise has added her mite of hoarded rub- bish. Before that mount lie the strewn corpses of those who have held back when duty called. And around the mount of selfishness and folly what multitudes of id- lers in putrid masses who spent their lives in frivolities and fashion, when the compelling spirit of glorious des- tiny would have led them on!
Every age has its " SNAP-SHOT" OF THE BICYCLE PARADE ON EUCLID AVENUE. pioneers of progress, and across their paths lie manifold tempta- tions. The conflict of the pioneers of this year of our Lord, 1896, is not with the crude foes of the unbroken wilderness, the howling wolves, or the Indian raiders. Luxury spreads her tables and bids us sit down. Ease places before us her cushioned chairs and entreats us to loiter within the pleasant shade. Fashion sends her devotees to our lovely daughters, and in the fashionable boarding-schools they are taught to set more value upon decayed titles and effeminate scions of effete aristocracy than upon our glorious self-made names and the sturdy sons of the Republic, clean of body, and great of brain. Society, based upon the single gold standard, lures us with her pleas- ures, and with her siren songs teaches us that the sum of human happiness is bodily comfort and luxurious repose.
But with so much behind us to give us courage, and so much before us to inspire us with hope, with our woman's clubs and our societies for mutual improvement and the betterment of mankind, the pioneers of 1896 may hopefully consolidate, and with a new esprit de corps pull down the heaps of woman's ignorance and folly for a grand advance all along the line.
Women are the housekeepers of the universe, and the same faculties that serve the home must be utilized to serve the State and nation. If our streets are ever clean women must do the cleaning; if our police stations and city prisons are ever to be freed from vermin, women must apply the remedial agents. If the laws upon our
1.

statute books are more just than they were twenty-five years ago, it is because women, working behind and through men, have made them so; if they are ever enforced, it will be when women are factors in their enforcement. There should be a woman po- lice matron in every city prison; there should be a woman physician on the staff of every institution in the State.
It is time that we pioneer daughters of the pioneer mothers of the Western Reserve should return from the worship of the golden calf and imbue ourselves with the princi- ples of fraternity that actuated them in their pursuit of happiness. Theirs was the primitive Christian household, where no sharp lines were drawn between the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the exalted and humbled. The spirit of primitive Christianity is the true spirit of the republic. Let those who would cultivate a spirit of absolutism and exclusiveness take up their abodes in Paris or London, or the City on the Seven Hills. Let them sit down in abject humility and eat the sodden sops of the Czar of all the Russias. For us there should be a greater destiny. Let us throw off the bonds that bind and hamper, let us reach out the helping hand to those who are around us. A flower may do more than a crust in the abodes of want and misery.
The nation calls for men. Let us give them men; men pure of heart, in touch with the common needs. The nation calls for women. Let us give them women; women who know how to serve as well as rule. Not by word and maxim, but by liv- ing, energizing, courageous example shall the world be redeemed. A century from now, what then? A new and better order of things, we have faith to believe. The coming together of women has been for good and good only; out of it shall evolve the regeneration of society.
A century from now the women of 1996 will assemble to celebrate the second cen- tennial of the city of Cleveland, and the settlement of the Western Reserve. They will come from Connecticut and Kansas, and from all the ends of the earth. In that great assemblage of educators and statesmen, and women of affairs, there will be women governors and ex-governors, and senators, and legislators, and scientists, and divines. Papers will be read and odes written, and songs sung, and the theme on every lip will not be the struggles and triumphs of the pioneer women of 1796 but the perseverance and fortitude of the pioneer women of 1896, who in the age of doubt and cavil and sneering ignorance were so filled with the desire to lift their sex to a wider plane of usefulness that they endured persecution and hardship and obloquy in a hun- dred snarling forms. Heaven preserve the spirit of the pioneer women of 1796; heaven speed the spirit of the pioneer women of 1896!
Miss Lucy A. Proctor, at the conclusion of Mrs. Sherwood's remarks, sang, " Within a Mile of Edinboro' Town." Mrs. Ingham then in- troduced to the audience Mr. T. P. Handy, the venerable banker, Mrs. Mary 11. Severance and "Mother" Ransom, a veteran Western Reserve woman who did good service during the war in aiding the cause of the Union.
The exercises of the afternoon were impressively closed, the entire audience arising and repeating in unison the Lord's Prayer.
THE BANQUET.
Over six hundred persons attended the reception and banquet given by the Department at the Grays' Armory in the evening. This was the society event of the day's observance. The Armory was tastefully pre- pared for the festivities, the floral and incandescent effects being espe- cially beautiful. Preceding the banquet the guests mingled together in the upper rooms.
