Why there are more pious Women than Men.
The reason there are more pious women
than men is not because women are weaker,
or their passions less powerful, but because
A feeling Of dependence is native in the fe-
male heart. 1t is because the pride OF indie
peudence has little or no place there. 1t is
because the female mind has to undergo
comparatively small revolution to become
religious. Ooe powerful barrier that stands
before the path Of every man in bis approach
TO the valley of humiliation does not oppose
the passage of the true woman. IL is very
rare that those Who are denomiuated 'strong-
minded women" become religious. The pride
Of personal independence prevents this.
So sweet and 30 natural q thing Is piety
among women that men have come to regard
q woman without it as strange, if not un-
healthy, and goddess men often select pious
wives, because they see that piety softens and
deepens and elevates every natural grace 81
person, and every accomplishment Of mind,
