One covets for every girl the opportunity to live in the hands of the
healthful, trained, awakened triad. Life is a blessed experience to the
girl who is well physically, alert mentally and strong spiritually. If
that experience is to come to the majority of girls, then those
interested in her religion must more and more understand that true
religion touches all of life--the triad--body, mind and spirit.
One summer night when the thunder was roaring over the sea and vivid
flashes of lightning blinded for the moment one daring enough to face
the storm, the little village church bell rang the dread alarm of fire.
The apparatus for firefighting was of the type most city people have
forgotten. Men rushed to the fire company's quarters and dragged the
engine forth. From one of the highest hilltops flames lighted the sky.
The men seizing the rope dragged the apparatus up the steep slope. Just
before reaching the top it stuck. Suddenly a sharp appealing voice rang
out into the darkness. It did more than request, it commanded and
demanded. "Everybody take hold" it shouted, and under the power of it
people sprang to obey and the engine reached the hilltop.
Those who look with sympathy and love at girlhood today, cannot help
wishing that some Voice of power would ring out through every place
where girls are found saying--"Everybody take hold!" If everybody would
respond to the task as that night in the fire and the storm, the girl,
in body, mind and spirit might easily be saved.
