“Divinity hath surely touched my heart;
I have possessed more joy than earth can lend;
I may attain what time shall never spend.
Only let not my duller days destroy
The memory of thy witness and my joy.”
Our faith would be weak if it could be dashed by the human faults in women, and of women in the movement as well as all the other women. It is cowardice, merely, to turn from the complex, fascinating, troublesome, real woman to a vapid ideal, or a devitalised norm. We must understand the real women and the real men, and have faith in them. Fear and distrust are no leaders for brave folk. The prayer which the worker in human material must ever have at heart is, “Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief.”

FOOTNOTES[1]The National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies in twelve months raised, at headquarters and among its affiliated societies, £42,000. I have assumed that the Women’s Social and Political Union raised as much. It seems likely that if we add together all the other societies (thirty odd), and also reckon the immense amount of money spent in travelling and so forth by voluntary workers, the total of £100,000 is well within the mark.[2]Realities and Ideals: The Work of Woman, by Frederic Harrison, p. 125.[3]Letters to a Friend on Votes for Women, by A.

FROM BELL’S LIST.
War and Women.By Mrs.St. Clair Stobart, Founder of the Women’s Convoy Corps. With an Introduction byViscount Esher, G.C.B. Crown 8vo. with numerous illustrations. 3s.6d.net.
The sending of a Women’s Convoy Corps to the Balkans was the result of Mrs. Stobart’s keen desire to demonstrate the ability of women to render signal service under war conditions and without the direction and assistance of men. This record of their achievements, therefore, provides a strong vindication of the claims of women to inclusion in the Territorial Defence Scheme.

Round About a Pound a Week.By Mrs.Pember Reeves. Crown 8vo. 2s.6d.net.
Mrs. Pember Reeves is not a sentimentalist, and her book is a clear, straightforward examination of what is meant by life on one pound a week. She has been able to win the confidence of the working mothers of Lambeth, whose lives are spent in the task of making both ends meet when at one end is a growing family and at the other an income of 50l.a year. The result is an array of evidence which can lead to but one conclusion: that a healthy family of four childrencannotbe reared in decent surroundings on ‘round about a pound a week.’

The Cosmic Procession;or, the Feminine Principle in Evolution.By Mrs.Frances Sidney, Author of ‘The Awakening of Women,’ &c. Post 8vo. 2s.6d.net.
The Future of the Theatre.ByJohn Palmer, Dramatic Critic to theSaturday Review. Crown 8vo. 2s.6d.net.
A brilliantly-written forecast of dramatic history. Critics, producers, long runs, the Lord Chamberlain, and the speculative manager will all disappear, and the final picture of an English theatre, national and redeemed, is finely drawn in passages of eloquence and sincerity.
