We are striving to be Virtuous Maidens as we write, think, and live... in this world of immodesty and sin, oh Lord, let us pure and holy in Your sight! Amen! - Lois, the SIMPLE
What does our country need? Not armies standing
with sabers gleaming ready for the fight;
Not increased navies, skillful and commanding,
to bound the waters with an iron might;
Not haughty men with glutted purses trying
to purchase souls, and keep the power of place;
Not jeweled dolls with another vying
for palms of beauty, elegance, and grace,
but we want women, strong of soul, yet lowly
with rare meekness, born of gentleness;
The woman whom all-little children bless;
Brave, earnest women, helpful to each other,
with finest scorn for all things low and mean;
Women who hold the names of wife and mother
far nobler than the title of a Queen.
