Different phases of the sub ject were discussed by Misses Iola Bryant, Emma R. Parker, Ella Mae Parker, Catherine Skinner, Glenn Smith, and Moella Askew. The society had as its guest Mrs. P. S. Vann, Mrs. Turnley, Misses Meroney Knott, Dana, White, Latham and HIE INDIAN WAR WHOOP' (Continued from page 8) vie cable and award her the prize. Another heroine whose brave deed has sounded through the ages is that of Deborah, an important character in the Bible. God had said that dur ing the war of the Isrealites and Ca naanites, a woman should have the honor of capturing Sisera, the great Canaanite leader. Deborah com manded Barah, the leader of the krealite army, to gather an army to Mount Tabor. Sisera heard of this, and took a large force to. put down the rebellion. Barak then boldly came down and marched towards the river Kishon. The battle was joined on the river banks, when almost im mediately a violent storm came on driving rain and hail in the faces of the Canaanites. The narrative plain ly says that the river took part in the battle, swelling and overflowing its banks, and washing away the bodies of the fleeing Canaanites. The wet banks made the dreaded . chariots worse than useless. The rout and massacre were complete, and the long way was covered with dead bodies. This victory was won by Deborah and many songs of praise were made to her name. Another step through the ages will bring us to the great heroine, Joan of Arc, the great heroine of France who won her fame by her bravery in war. Joan of Arc was born in Domreny, France, January the sixth, fourteen hundred and twelve. She lived the life of a peasant and until at seven teen, "voices" bade her don the ar mour of a man and save France.- Joan obeyed the voices, and unlettered, un trained, led the French army to vic tories that ended the Hundred Years' War. Probably no figure in profane history so appeals to the imagination, so brings the heart to the throat, as does that of the Maid of Orleans. In no period of history were men and women more decadent than at this time. But Joan of Arc was virtuous, was honorable, was loyal, was pitiful, was deeply religious at a time when common customs were indecency and treachery. All that has been adored in womanhood since the world began, as the lovliest and the most to be cherished, she possessed. - The su preme type of leadership that men always have striven for she achieved with no effort save that of sacrificing the quiet, pastoral life that she loved. We know what she accomplished. We can not know what she thought of the bitter places in which her lives were laid. She died as heroically si lent as she had lived. Although the oeople did not realize then that they had allowed a saint to be burned, they have since realized it and now are heaping her name with laurels and building mounments in her honor. Another great heroine is the little martyr of the World War, Edith Cavell. This wonderful woman was an English nurse who did a great work in helping the afflicted on the firing line in Belgium. She was al ways very sympathetic and did every thing within her power to aid stricken and needy "soldiers. This good trait was what led to her martyrdom. The Prussians charged her with having helped hundreds of French, Belgium and English soldiers into the firing lines to aid the fighters, and also of aiding the soldiers who were left be hind after a battle. In the eyes of the Germans these were high offenses and she was condemned to be shot at the dawn of one day after ten weeks of imprisonment. She confessed frankly everything she had done, and was bright and calm to the last. She had not expected that the trial should come to such an end, but when she learned her fate she showed no signs of fear and showed up bravely. To the British chaplain she made the statement that she would see him again. x iic cnapicsiii vuen sou^ "Abide With Me," and Miss Cavell joined in and softly sang the last stanza. After the British chaplain was forced to leave the prison the German chaplain remained with her to the last. He said that: "She was bright and brave to the last. She professed her Christian faith and that she was glad to die for her country. She died like a heroine." These instances show to the world the many types of heroines that the world has produced. The types that wiiy their fame by going into war and figthing battles, and the types that quietly do for mankind a greater ser vice than fighting battles. The world appreciates these heroines and has, though sometimes too late for these great persons to realize it, made them idols of manv nations. ELIZABETH DILDAY, "Senior."
