WHO What is what purpose? the origin STARTED WOMANS' DAY 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 such an impulse and urge that led Mrs. Nannie Burroughs to think of what a special day-dedicated to a great cause--could do for church women. Womans’ Day was proposed by Mrs. Burroughs, the young corresponding secretary of the Womans' —— es ———— - Convention, at the meeting of the convention Memphis, Tennessee, in September 1906. in 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 spfritual blast Satan's greatest dynamite that would 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.
