We are responsible to-day for our com» mon life in a way that kings were wholly responsible in the days of Elijah. Are not the following things that this Real God would show us here in this Colony to-day? (1) He bida us really see to it
that the sale of 'women's bod- jea for the pleasure of men, however much the women may desire it, shall cease, and no extensions of time shall be allowed under any pretence whatever. We know that that pretence is based on the finan- cial interests of the very men who so abuse their women kind
