Yes! Woman's love is a holy light,Time cannot dim its radiance bright;A brilliant star that God has given,To lead man's erring feet to Heaven.
In every age since time began,Her chastity unrivalled stands;And virtue's reins she will control,Till stars and planets cease to roll.E. M.Oregon Spectator, March 21, 1850.
