rooms of Canada don't have
many women. Why not? Many

The rights of women — What are
they?
T' o' right to labour and pray.
'I'' o' right to comfort in distress
The right when others curse to
bless.
The right to love when others
scorn.
The right to comfort all who
mourn.
The right to shed new joy on
earth.
The right to feel the soul's high
worth.
The right to lead a soul to God,
Along the path the Saviour trod.
Such are Women's Rights—and
God will bless and give support

;I-t in summer to prevent her
from gadding."
