WHO STARTED WOMANS! DAY What is what purpose? the origin of Womans' Day? When? And for At some time in life we feel a trembling, fearful longing to do some good thing, something different and helpful to some good cause. It was just Nannie Burroughs dedicated to such an impulse to think a great and urge that of what a special cause--could do for led Mrs. day-- church women. Womans' Day was proposed by Mrs. Burroughs, the young corresponding secretary of the Womans: Convention, at the meeting of the convention in Memphis, Tennessee, in September 1906. The proposal was that the Fourth Sunday in July be known as National Womans' Day. This day was not thought up as a scheme for raising money, but a christian school for raising women. To quote from her letter,"A million women working! A million women singing. A million women laboring for the coming of the kingdom in the hearts of all men, would be a power that would move God on his throne to answer, immediately, the petitions. It would mean spiritual dynamite that would blast Satan's greatest strongholds." As a result of Mrs. Burroughs' idea, many women have discovered that given the opportunity to develop, they can be tops in christian service. They have learned to speak, present good christian ideas, depict courage, fidelity and grace, and are more and more becoming great Spokesmen for the Lord. Mrs. Burroughs intended for women to do what the woman did who talked with Jesus at the well. She "went to town" and brought the town out to “see Jesus." God be with you, women, on Womans' Day. io, ree SAS, Daisy Gentry, chmn..s. 3."
