THE CONGRESS OF WOMEN.

the sweet music of Jesus’ voice. Dare you pass judgment and tell me I committed a sin or gave a false impression when I told the poor dying girl—dying in an atmosphere of prostitution, and in the presence of those abandoned creatures—Mare anyone say that Jesus was not there, with a band of waiting angels, to wing the spirit of Daisy to the heavenly home? The woman and the girls stood weeping and crying, “What shall we do; what shall we do?” A moment’s silent thought and I answered, “Seek pardon here and now. While Jesus is waiting to hear you, ask him to wash your sins away. He is calling to you now to give up this fearful life.” Two of the girls promised over the dead body of Daisy to seek another home.
A Christian burial was given poor Daisy, and through her great sorrow and suffering two souls were led to seek pardon and entered into a new life.
To save the souls of the sinful, to lift the fallen and say to the outcast, “There is hope for you in the love of Jesus,” this is something that all can do, and, moved by this Christ-love, will do.
I believe that those who have gone on before and are now in Heaven are gathered from all lands and all nations and classes, from the sinful and from the moral, for, for such the blessed Jesus died.
