It wili be the goal of the organized women
of the world during the early part of
. of next month. For ten days the capital j
will play boat to the sixth quinquennial j
*; convention of the International Council |
of Women. The National Council of
Women of the United States, represent-1
ing 10,000.000 members, as the represen-}
tative of women's organizations of this'
t country has general charge of the ar-]
rangements of women's organizations for!
j\ the gathering The Marchioness of Aber
-1 deen is president of the International
Council of Women, and delegates from
thirty-si* countries, representing 38.000.-
,000 members, will take part in the. ses
sions.
Included in the National Council of
the United States are approximately a
score of individual organizations, broad
ly representative of American woman so
far as they have become organized. The
( international Council was organized in
■his city in 1888 by a number of Americau
((women wlio believed that an orgauized
nnovement of women pledged to the bet
terment of humanity would become a
V jkreat instrument of public good. The
E> Snovement obtained a great impetus at
the time of the World's Columbian Ex
posjtiou in Chicago in 1893. when wom
en from many countries gathered for the
purpose of discussing plaus for the devel
opment of the new organization.
[ v Since that time the International Coun
cil has gainer! steadily ini membership,
and in influence. Meetings have been
jjheld every five years. AM of the previous
Whclaves have been held : n European
capitals. Christiania, Rome. London,
Geneva, and Berlin having been the
meeting places. The coming meeting will
t: he the-first of the quinquennial gatherings
to be held in the United States.
• The international organization is in
tended to be a clearing house for the wom
en •€ all countries. The sixth quiuqueu- j
uial meeting will be a forum ii|ion which j
the women of some two score countries I
will meet to discuss problems which they |
have in common. Conspicuous in the j
program of discussion are subjects as per-!
A uiaaout peace, international arbitration,
equal moral standards for men and worn- I
eu. public health. educat : on, emigration
Os women, and child welfare. Though I
world peace will be one of the principal
points stressed, iiacifism of an objection

evident. Many of the women who will
attend the sess : ons are well known for
■.their patriotic endeavors.

STIRRING SERMON PREACHED
j BY NEW PRESBYTERIAN PASTOR 1
Rev. R. 8. Amman* Draws Valuable
Lessons From the Captivity of Jorapii
in Egypt.
(Taking as bis text “They sold Joseph
to the Ismaelites for twenty pieces of sil
ver." Rev. R. 8. Arrowood, new pastor -of
McKinnon Presbyterian Church preached;
a stirring sermon to his congregation yes-'
' terday morning, drawing the lesson from
1 this text that God needed Joseph to do
His work and that for this reason He
[had him taken away from the "petting
and pandering Joseph was getting at
home."
The text was taken from Genesis 37;
28, Mr. Arrowood’B sermon being as fol
lows :
This verse represents one of the high
spots of the graphic story of Joseph
Around the dry cistern in Dothan stood
his nine brothers, the Midianites, traders
and the placid camels and all the para
phernalia of a caravan. Joseph, strip
ped of bis princely coat, was drawn up
muddy from the cistern, and sold to the
merchants for twenty pieces of silver or
about one hundred and twenty dollars.
That was the price they put on their'
brother. He was worth no more than’
that to them. What a paltry sum was
that for Joseph, the sou and heir of rich
and prosperous Jacob. What a pitiful
’ itrice to receive for the one who under
God was destined to become the greatest
man of his generation.
First. We enquire then, why did they
priee him so cheap?
1. Joseph had an inconvenient con
science.
Joseph's brothers were a tough lot.’
They were bad men. They were bloody,
vulgar, profane and wicked. Joseph
when required to do so gave a true report;
of them. Joseph made it hard for them
. to do evil and get away with it. So they:
; priced him low and sold him.
2. Joseph was a dreamer of dreams.
They lived in the realm of the practical
and of the material. Joseph lived in a
world of vision and of the spirit. It is
’ easy for men who walk with their eyes on’
the eartli to despise those like Joseph |
who have their gaze upon the stars. Mo
they say with some contempt “Behold that
dreamer cometh.”
3. Joseph talked about himself. We
are not commending him for that. He
told about his dreams again and again.
It is a mine or less harmless form of
self love which causes us to be more in
terested in talking about ourselves than.
. any other subject. And while it affords
us personal pleasure and satisfaction it is
not highly enjoyed by the other party. It
dock not add to our popularity. It cer
tainly did not add to the love Joseph’s
brothers hod for him.
4. Joseph's brotliers valued him so
low too because his father- valued him so
high. He was the darling of his fath
er. He had good looks, brains, distinc
tion, which they lacked. He was pure
; and good, they were evil and wicked. He
was to inherit twice as much as many
one of them though they were older. So
they envied him.
"Base envy withers at another's joy
“And hates the excellence it cannot reach"
But price and worth are two Afferent
things. The price they arrived at was
low but the worth oan be found by surer
and truer ways. Surely in all the course
of history there have been few who
were more useful.
Second. Let us ask then, in what did
his real value consist?
1. Hhe was always on the job. When
tit borne with is father he was not sloth-'
ful in business. He was fervent In spirit/
When his brothers were again , at. Sh£c
em where They had had bloody trouble
ortre before his father sent not a hired
servant but called for faithful Joseph
and he answered “Here am I/’ When he
became a slave he cared for his master's
affairs as his own. " It is hard to do
our best when rewarded and appreciat
ed. But Joseph did Jiis best in the home
aud was sold iuto shi very. He was dil
igent in his master's house and was
thrbwii into prison, but through the long
weary years in a jail in a strange bind
he still did with his might whatsoever
his hand fonud to do. When the test
of prosperity fame Joseph did not lean
back in luxury and let someone else do ;
his work. He personally supervised the
gigantic project of storing grain to fee-1
a people for seven years. Joseph's ca
reer is another iilustrat’on of that old
saying tliat "Genius is one-fourth inspfr-;
ation and three-fourths |>erspiration. - ' No 1
man can be truly valuable without unre- 1
mitting toil.
2. Joseph was valuable too because
lie wore the white flower of a stainless
life. With the evil example of wicked’
bidet- brothers he was not eorriilWed. By,
the contiuunl fiery temptation in Pbti-*
pher's house he was not seduced. Had-
Joseph died in prison bis fair and spotless;
life in the midst of a sensual und cor-;
rupt age would have furnished us an in
spiring example of Christian living.
Doubtless one reason Joseph met so many
temptations and came off victorious was
because he hail first <-ouquered himself.
8. But of course the great secret of
Joseph's success : s found in tliese words '
“And the ls»rd was with Joseph.” God'
had great plops for Joseph and stayed
with him in workiug them out. AntT Jos
eph yielded himself to the leading of the
spirit,
God was witli him all tlic way. He
was even wth Joseph in the pit at
Dothan. He was wMb him on the long,
wrary. hot journey to Egypt He was
with him in the hour of trial nod kept
him true. He was with him in prison
and made him useful there. It .may have
seemed a strange providence to Joseph to
have his happy life and glorious pros.-'
pects rilfls blighted. But God knew that
the petting and pandering Joseph was
rng at home would not fit aim for
destiny. God sent him away. God
brought him at last, after his period
•f preparation to bis position o' greatest
usefulness. Mary’s words might have
Owen written for him. "He hath put down
the mighty from their seats and exalted
them that begpf low degree." . : i 1 1
I 4. Joseph was valuable berptisal hS
[put quality into everything Unit ihei did’
life was not satisfied to do the .ai«V ,tiring!
lor to do the popular thing. He must do
Kke right thing. He was not content to
I jtiat set by or do his work in an ordl-

him extra for haviug Jo wait until his

I'ndtr the circumstances, might It not
be well to ask the Palo pinto County
Btnr, “Who ore the merchant’* friends?’’
Who is it that spreads the Butter on the
merchant's bread?
As a matter ot tact, we are inclined to
the opinion that neither merchant nor
fanner boycotts the other for pure, un
adulterated spite. The merchant very of
ten quite properly prefers to purchase
standardised goods from the wholesale
houses, rather than produce bought di-,
rect from the fann, ungraded and in un
attractive containers. And on the other
hand, farmers -buy from mail order
houses, first, because many merchant*
fail to keep well stocked, and. second, be
onuse even after paying t«Mft»Mi«Ui
chargee, they ran often pnrehase the
sarad goods from the mall order house at
less cost. > v
To remedy this condition, farmers
must learn to market produce more sat
isfactorily and merchants must learn tti
better merchants.
