PUNDIT? RAM?BAI \ND HER LITTLE GIRL.
graphie? account of the life of the most
li.moua of Hindoo women.
At a ihn? wh?-n Hindoos looked upon
an educated woman as a kind of plague,
Rnmabai's falher determined to edueate
hi? wife. He met with no much opposi
tion and advice at home tbat he was ob
liged to make another home out In
the Jungle to accomplish his end. Rama
bol Bays she can remember lying on
the door of her home trembling with
fear Of th?? wll?l animals prowling In th?
neighborhood of the house. She, lib
mother, was educated a? oho grew U]
What most Impreoood her on leaving b?
home was th-; Ignorance and suffering o;
Hindoo women.
"The child widows of India," Ramabal
said, "are Iho most uuoomioitable people
In tho country. 1 menu, nut uncomforta
ble mlMfOhla Bvoty one thinks It go?,,
to curso and boat them, t?) mahe the?
work from early In the morning till li
?t night. Soon as Ike bachead du.
their i.e.ida are shaved. Tlie husband
dea?!,' his people toy? aSho must a been
a very bad girl thit he should be takoti
away.' Every i ear these who live along
river-banks in Judia see the bodied of
hundreds of girl? WSOhod by. Drowning
Is an easy way Of toinmitiing suicide.**
To eduiaaite. elilld widows and so make
their liveo hopplet ?as been Ramabai's
chief work. , tint slie had entered thi
Church of ChriOt ehe opened a school
for tbeoo girls. ' F hon I and my friend
?tommenced our school, wo bad two
ho said. "Her class numbered
one o botar. My elaoo numbered one
scholar, rmoenlly we had tw?mty?Avo
Kills with us, ami hiioi?; wanted to be
come Chrlotlaa. Then the ne a began to
uy 'Wo will close that school and oyen
a school of our own.' "
"Very weil," ? said, "build schools of
your own; but don't build one??build
IMtOF, that is how m., uy you OOOd to
e all the girls that you have kept
In Ignorance. You can't close my school,
either, for God is helping me. l'u?.- men
did not close it, either. They only talked
Blll'll.
"That was a great advertisement for
us. To-day ?TO huvo two big a.hools.
They cost ua iW.Ow a year, ?ud God aas
always sent us what we need, and
I believe that In this goat ration He will
bring out from among our girls somo
preat teachers who can go all ever India,
among all the millions of suffering hlgh
OOOtO women and teach them how they
may Uve best and happiest."
R uaabal will speak this afternoon, at
4 o'clock la the leci tire-room of the
Grace-Street Presbyterian churclu To- I
morrow at 12 she may be heard at the I
Broad-Street Mission.
