Dr. Dougall Tells Life Story of Miss Frances Willard W.T.C.U. met yesterda: The TOU. | y afternoon in the Simcoe oiger United Church, After the regular business Miss Jean Keddie and Mrs. J. Smith rendered beautiful solos, then the address of the after- noon, an. outline of the life of Francis ingly given by . 8. Miss Willard died 31 y this month and the story as told by Dr. Dougall follows: MISS FRANCES E, WILLARD A peasant in Cornwall, England, answered thus to a young noble- wap why no public house in that locality was serving liguor,--"My lord, about one hundred years ago a man named John Wesley came to these parts." In this year 1928, should any person ask why the United States of American has na- tional and constitutional prohibi- tion, this answer might be given,-- "Sir, in the nineteenth century a Christian woman named Frances Willard was born in the United States." Frances BE, Willard was well- born, About one year prior to her birth, a litthe daughter had died. The deep, questioning and quiver- ing pathos of the mother's heart had its effect upon the babe yet to be born. During this chastened period, the mother lived much with her Bible and the poets. With such thoughts and feelings in mother's mind and heart, the baby Frances was horn, So she was well born as is the right of every child. Possibly the later tenden- cles of her life, which led to much thoughtfulness and tender care for human suffering, were due to pre- natal influences. We have yet to give much at- tention to bringing human beings into life well-born. We have stud- fed plant life and animal life so as to improve their beauty, health and productiveness, We have im proved horses, hens, pigs, corn, squashes and wheat, But because of our blind carelessness of human worth, or our foolish prudishness, we pay little attention to the right birth of our own human kind. And perhaps we can give no higher apology for this strange eallous- ness than that bables in America, unlike horses, gooseherries and peanuts, are not saleable commo- dities. The event which ushered Fran- ces E, Willard into this world, much to the world's advantage, oc- curred in the state of New York, in a town called Churchville, in the year 1839, September 28. When a little girl, travelling In canvas-covered wagons, drawn by oxen, her family treked into the western state of Wisconsin. To little Frank, sister of Mary and brother Oliver, the journey was one perpetual plenic party. - Upon a splendid farm called "Forest Home" the Willard family grew up. Few were their privileges. Schools and churches at first were miles away, But anywhere a home, with such teachers as were the parents of little Frank, would af- ford a liberal education. The eol- lege-bred father with his love and knowledge of flowers, \trees and birds; the mother pure, loving and refined, built up a Christian home where reverenge for divine things, unselfishness, and a nice regard for each other's happiness, were fundamental. So Frances E. Will- ard was well-born and well-bred. Country-bred, to be sure, for the country usually does preed the men and women whom God uses in his big plans, Frances was home-taught until she was twelve, then she attended a little unpainted school house perched like a big ground-nut (by the riverside,) but inside of which thoughts grew large, and where aspirations healthy and eager look- ed out towards a big but unknown world. Afterwards came high school at Milwaukee, and later res- idence at Evanstown whither the family had moved that Frances méght attend the Methodist semi- pary, She was a versatile, an intense and brilliant student. She was or- iginal and fearless. From child- hood she wrote her most secret thoughts in a journal. In this written book we discover often a feeling of lonliness, and of soul- hungerings which like an eaglet's wings were beating against con- finement, but afterwards to find space and freedom in the sunlit sky. Among her girl friends she was an emotional and intellectual load- stone. They Joved to cluster around and hear her talk. She would arouse discussions quite out of the ordinary range of girlish conversation, interspersing her own wise, piguant and witty speeches. Yearning with ambition to make her own life big and wor- thy, she stirred up similar feelings in the hearts of her comrades. And more than one fellow student has attested that Frank Willard laid in them the foundations of future happi and sful achieve- ment. Though her home was of a deep- ly religious spirit, yet Frances was a grown school girl before she made any confession of ce to Jesus Christ. She was slow in religious discussions, but when conviction did come, there was never a moment's cowardice in confession, nor slowness in action. it was Sunday evening. A large congregation in the Methodist Church, Evanston, is awaiting dis- missal, when to the surprise of everyone, the pastor extended an invitation to those who om profes- sion of faith in Christ desired to unitc with the churgh to meet him at the altar, A moment's pause, and a single young woman moved out into the main aisle, and with firm step approached the altar, All eyes were ecomverged upom her. There was no mistaking that form and face, No faintest trace doubt clouded that countenance now. The effect was electrical. For a few minutes the solemnity of the occasion held all feelings in check, to hundreds of others, filled with surprise and joy. Many an eye was moist with tears. Some one began softly, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," and it was sung as if the very stars were expected to joim in the solemm chogus, She graduated valedictorian of her class in 1859. Her diary shows that even thep she was looking beyond the walls of the school room, into the sorrows, vices and sacrifices surging like waves through oceans of people. Take this item from her journal,-- "Nothing is a light matter that makes my heart ache, or the hearts of my human kin, God ae- counts nothing slight that brings a tear to any eye, a stinging flush to any cheek, or a chill to any heart of any creature. He has thought fit to make, and to endow with body, brain and soul. I hate the spirit of any one that seeks to gain the notice of the influen- tial in society by fawning or undue attention of any sort. I love a brave, strong character that walks the earth with the step of a king, and an eye that does not quail he- fore anything but its own dishonor. I will stand up for justice as long as I have power, and I hereby de- clare that I will speak more kindly and considerately of those whose claims are unrecognized, I will try in a thousand pleasant nameless ways to make them happier. God help me to keep my promise good." In this we can observe the ever- clarifying ideals of her life and the slowly forming resolutions which were shaping her for her future splendid place in this world, Graduating when she was nine- teen, she became a teacher. Begin- ning her professional life in a pub- lic school on an Illinois prairie, she ended as president of the wo- men's college" in the suburbs of Chicago, and professor in the Uni- versity. It is difficult to overestimate the effect of 'her splendid life and na- ture upon the thousands of young women who were so fortunate as to come within her influences. One who has the power of kindling In another mind the fires which burn within her own, who cap bring her own soul into such close and lov- ing contact with the soul of others that they are stirred by her impuls- es, and inflamed by her enthusi- asms, has in the highest form the leadership, the power, of the ideal teacher, And such wrs Miss Will- ard. The W.T.C.U, in Chicago was engaged in a practical crusade against the saloons. Miss Willard was invited to the leadership of that society, She accepted without _---- --_-- All Testity to Its Quick Action b4 THE RATIOR S LAXATIVE Jury & Lovell but soon hundreds of faces turned |ther : of salary, though her mother was them dependent upom her for mecintenamce. A the call as from God, she doubted not that from Him would come the daily bread. From her | shone the words,--*"Trust in Lord and do good, so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed." She banked on that prom- ise and her faith was not in vain. - ok. remonstrated her bro- » "your faith method is simply a challenge to the Almighty. You've put a chip on your shoulder and dared Omnipotence to knock it off." But God only smiled in his heavens, and tested his child a 1it- tle longer. She did not always have enough to eat. Often she welked far because she had not the nickle for car fare, She fell sick from hardship and over work, Lat- er she received a regular salary. As a public speaker Miss Will- ard had few superiors. Physically she was small, but when her bow- string twanged, an arrow sped, as sharply barbed, as finely feather ed, as sure to its target as though the speaker were of enormous frame, and breathed through a pair of organ lungs. An old to- per, who was also a famous law- yer, heard her speak. He was ask- ed how big Miss Willard wns. "When she clutched me first," he said, "I thought her about eight feet high, and weighing eight hun- dred pounds; but when she was wooing my soul to a better life, I thought then and think now that she was the sweetest little thing on earth." Her highest call came whey she was elected President of the Na- tional W.C.T.U., and then her par- ish became all Americn. More; it reached even unto the ends of the earth, She went everywhere declaring for national prohibition, and proving that the homes of America which are the citadels of patriotism, purity and happiness, had no foe so relentless as the sa- loon, But her intellect was too strong and too sagacious not to perceive that national prohibition was not the chief question. The chief gues- tion was the home, Whether men should drink or not drink, pro- foundly affected the home. Drink- ing polluted the domestic life, de- stroyed the family, corrupted the blood of unborp children, and per- petuated the barbarism of mascu- line tradition, Miss Willard per- ceived that the ideal home must be held up as the goal of human ef- fort. This involved two thipgs:-- first the political equality of wo- men, Therefore fearlessly and ar- dently she championed the right and need of her sisters to the franchise, The second thing was a standard of purity for men the same as that demanded from all true women, Prohibition, female suffrage, masculine purity,--all in defence of the home. These three ideals were summed up in her fa- mous watchword which came to her from God as the sign by which to eonquer,--* For God and Home and Native land," Miss Willard was never married, but that does not mean that she never had her chances. Bishop Fowler when he was a young Methodist minister, and Miss Will- ard were engaged. They had agreed that after their marriage they were to offer themselves as foreign mis- sionaries., One day young Fowler told her that he had changed his mind about becoming a missionary. After a moment's thought ana n- tense struggle, she replied: "I too have changed my mind," and hand- ed back the engagement ring. Burnt out by the fires of her own soul, worn out by labors many and incessant, the little body died when only fifty-eight years of uge. But her soul goes mrarching on. She still lives much and greatly in the lives of thousands she has in- spired and renewed by the touch of her own life. National prohibi- tion and franchise to women she did not live long enough to behold, but to her more than to any other woman must be the credit for these things. Did she die too ear- ly? That God only knows, not we She might have lived longer if she had lived less. Friends were standing and kneeling about her bed. Her lips were whispering. Stooping close they caught the words,--" How beautiful it is to be with God." An hour later a smile of joy ir- radiated the sleeping face. lay at the close of her life's day of loving toil for others, serene, ma- jestic, supremely beautiful. She bad sown many harvests of happi- ness for children and youth, She bad built a booth in the desert for pilgrims weary and wounded. She had lifted up a cup of cold wa- ter to many smitten with life's fierce heat. And then she had seen the signal swing out from the heavenly battlements, and made ready for departure. Like Chris- tian in Bunyan's wondrous dream, she might have said,--"I am go- ing to my Father's; and though with great difficulty I amr got hith- |. er, yet I do mot repent all the trouble. My sword I leave to him who shall succeed me in my pil- grimage; and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My works and my scars I carry with me to be witness for me that I have fought the battles of Him who will also be my rewarder." "Then steal away; give liftle warn- ing; Choose thine own time; Say not goodnight,--but in some brighter clime Bid me good morning." NOT SURE A sffort-sighted clergyman at a wedding was, for a moment mumable to distinguish the bridegroom among the many shy and overdressed young men present. Peering at the shyest and bright- est of them all he said: "Are you the happy man?" "That remains to be seen" ans- wered the young man solemnly.
