20TH CENTURY WOMAN. 
Subject of Sermon by Rev. T. L. 
Frost at Manchester Last 
Sunday Evening. 
“The Twentieth Century Woman’’ 
was the subject on which Rey. T. L. 
Frost spoke at the Baptist church, 
Manchester, last Sunday evening, 
the second in the series on ‘‘The 
Twentieth Century Home.’’ The 
text was taken from Titus 2 :4, ‘‘That 
they may teach the young women 
to be sober, to love their husbands, 
Mr. Frost 
passed out some good advice to the 
women of the present day. The Sun- 
day evening previous he treated 
men in his discourse. Some of the 
things he said last Sunday evening 
were as follows: 
““This is woman’s age. What is 
all this talk about woman suffrage? 
She has entered into the midst of 
life’s ‘activities. One of the effects 
has been the lowering of man’s 
wages. She has brought into these 
industries into which she has entered 
No man 
is such a hog as to say that woman 
has no right to enter the industrial 
life. I think it is wrong that women 
should receive less than men for the 
same work. We pay our women 
teachers far less than we pay men 
for the same work. I am surprised 
that women do not form a union to 
bring about higher wages in teach- 
ing. God Almighty never created 
women to occupy high places in 
medicine, in law, and as presidents . 
of our universities and the like. God 
Almighty created woman that she 
might create a home. Woman s 
place is in the home. All honor to 
the women that have entered the 
professional life. I would not dim 
their glory. They have gained great 
honor, but the greatest honor to wo- 
man is to bring up children to carry 
on the great work of life. No wo- 
man is greater than the humble and 
faithful wife and the loving mother. 
“The twentieth century wife 
should be loving and obedient. There 
was a time when every marriage 
ceremony had the word ‘‘obey’’ in 
it. It is only a matter of sentiment 
anyway. Woman’s duty is just the 
‘same whether she promises on the 
marriage altar to obey or whether it 
‘is omitted from the ceremony. God 
made men to be the head of the 
household. Get that firmly imbed- 
ded in your minds. No woman, how- 
ever, should allow herself to marry 
a man she cannot respect and rever- 
ence. A woman is a fool to throw 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
herself away to one she does not and 
cannot respect. It is a pretty mean 
sort of a man that will ask a wife to 
do anything which is against her 
best good. What in the world does 
a man know about the arrangement 
of a pantry or how many eggs should 
be in the cake? There are some 
things in which he should obey 
A man should have to say about the 
things in the larger world of life, but 
the things of the home should be in 
the eare of the woman. 
“The twentieth century wife 
should be loving and obedient. The 
sentiment of husband and _ wife 
should always be that of the both 
seeking to outdo the other. One of 
our local papers Friday, said some- 
thing about ‘A runabout wagon is to 
be prized more than a _ runabout 
wife.’ It has in it a great deal of 
truth. A runabout wagon is often 
desirable, but a runabout wife is an 
abomination. In this day of set- 
tubs, housework should be a ‘joy 
forever.’ A woman’s pantry should 
be her laboratory. The twentieth 
century wife should be ashamed to 
eo about telling how she hates house- 
work. She should see that the food 
is well cooked, the table well set 
and that her meals are served on 
time, that the clothes are well mend- 
ed, that the house is well cleaned, 
and that she is neat and tidy. She 
should always greet her husband 
with a smile. A great many men are 
driven from the home because the 
wife goes around with a face a yard 
long and as sour as a pickle. Keep 
on the smile that will not come off! 
She may be as homely as a hedge 
fence, but she can be loving and 
lovely. 
‘‘She should next be faithful and 
trustworthy. If her tongue runs too 
freely, she should put-a check on it. 
You can get your husband through 
his stomach better than any other 
way. 
‘“‘She should be economical. A 
wise woman can make one dollar go 
farther than a man can make two 
dollars go. God only knows how 
these wives can keep.things going 
and keep the husband out of debt. 
But they are not all that way. Some 
wives, the minute they get a dollar 
eo straight to the milliner and come 
home with some sort of a concoction, 
chantieler hat or something of the 
kind. And such rigs! Modern styles 
are something terrible! the wife who 
uses every cent she ean get and 
drives her husband to embezzle 
money from his employer or from the 
bank, should share a prison cell with 
her husband, who steals for her. 
17 
“The true wife of the twentieth 
century is one who wears her old hat 
or dresses two or three seasons in or- 
der to keep her husband out of debt 
so that he can look the world in the 
face. God bless the economical wife. 
‘‘Tast of all and most important, 
the twentieth century wife must be 
a Christian woman. The woman has 
a much finer sense of spiritual things 
than the man. There are men who 
are held back from being Christians 
because the wife refuses to live up to 
the promptings of her spiritual 
sense. There are women, on the other 
hand, who go to church simply to 
show their fine clothes and see what 
other women wear. I have known of 
cases where men have been hindered 
from the things of Jesus Christ be- 
cause the wife thought more of mil- 
linery and*dresses than of the 
church. q

MANCHESTER 
Representatives of the Brookline 
Water Board plan to come to Man- 
chester next Wednesday to look 
over Manchester’s new water sup- 
ply and the new equipment at the 
stations, preparatory to installing 
new apparatus in their home town 
for higher service. 
Edward Lethbridge has resumed 
his former position at Bullock’s bak- 
ery for the-summer. 
Edward B. Kitfield is confined to 
his home at Manchester Cove with 
a light case of scarlet fever, con- 
tracted while in Boston. 
James Beaton met with a bad ac- 
cident Sunday about noon as he was 
riding over Beverly bridge in his 
automobile. His sister, Miss Annie 
Beaton, and his son, Stanley Beaton, 
were with him at the time and Miss 
Beaton was thrown 20 feet when the 
erash came. The accident happened 
at the Beverly end of the bridge 
and Mr. Beaton’s ear was coming in 
the direction of Beverly, while the 
larger car, owned by David Lefa- 
vour, a retired shoe manufacturer 
of Marblehead, and driven by his 
chauffeur, was going in the other di- 
rection. Mr. Beaton’s car was con- 
siderably damaged by the collision 
and was later towed to Manchester 
and placed in Derosier’s garage for 
repairs. Miss Beaton was injured 
about the head and knee and receiv- 
ed a bad shaking up. She was taken 
to the home of Mr. Dodge, Wallis 
street, Beverly, where she is em- 
ployed as housekeeper. Mr. Beaton 
was not thrown from the ear and 
was only slightly injured.
