Is Woman In Creation the Equal OF Mani
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:--
In the first place. we understand God, tho Father,
tho Creator OF heaven and earth the Jehovah Of the
Hebrews, the Deity, In the masculine sense. And
again, the first being created by God to take the
form OF humanity was ADAM o man. Moses, who
was appointed by God to lead the lsraeli;es out OF
the bondage of the Egyptians ana be their civil aud
religious leader, was man. and Aaron the first OF
the Jewish priesthood, was also man. And 1t was
then the rule tiat all that were appointed by God TO
rule in the Jewish State and Church were men, as
they represented power and intellect superior TO
woman from the first. And the saviour, coming on
earth TO redeem man from the bondage OF SIN, also
took the form OF man; His Apostles were men, and
In .he Christian, as wen as In the Jewish Church,
al the Offices from the first were filed ny men. The
logical conclusion then, is. that man, as made by
God is superior to woman intellectually, physically
and morally. Man Tor his intellect, woman for her
beauty, was the axiom among the Jews, and also
among the Greeks aud Romans, and IL is just as
true to-day. Woman, however, among the Jews
was too much slave, y and, 10 pagan Greece and
