_Up to Women to Save World._
“Woman lives on a higher plane morally than man. No woman was ever ruined
that some brute of a man did not take the initiative. Women have kept
themselves purer than men. I believe a good woman is the best thing this
side of heaven, and a bad woman the worst thing this side of hell. I think
they rise higher and sink lower than men. I think she is the purest on
earth or the most degraded on earth. Our homes are on the level with
women. Towns are on the level with homes. Nations are on the level with
towns. What our women are, the towns will be. What the town is the men
will be. The devil and women can damn this world, and Jesus and women can
save this world. The womanhood of the world has to settle the destiny of
the world. I believe there is something unfinished in the makeup of a girl
with the absence of religion. The average girl of today no longer looks
forward to motherhood as the crowning glory of womanhood.”
