God made and holds them in life as op

what mode of reasoning do men find au

When for disobeisance, God com

the husband, he did not require of hel
to do physical labor, but deliberately
placed it upon the shoulders of the hus
band. will the brother make note
ofthis.) Assistance therefore, to be legiti
mate, as help-mate for man, must come
to him through her legislative, adjudica
tive and executive power, and her SUI
perior spirituality, and to day, men may
sit at woman's feet, and learn true re,
ligious devotion. Moreover, our Lord
Christ has redeemed woman from the
curse that fell upon her in Eden, and
the old dispensation and reign of things
went out the hour Christ expired upon
the Cross, and the new opened on the
morning of his resurrection, and woman

Our brother says: "The position Of
W, man is on the left of the man, on the

cove nment is the true type of all gov

ton in civil government in order to hon.

the positi W in which God by nature and
revelation has placed her, firmly seated
upon the hrone i'll all governmental
offices. Sc ted on the throne, at the

and man. and is Gods right hand in pro.

Word says: Woman was taken out of

God as Creator, W. man as procreator,

time had come, God sent firth his son,
made of woman, made III der the law,
to redeem them that wer, under the
law, therefore the fact that woman was
taken out of, and made from man, does
not initiate against her as legislator or
adjudicator God designedly made
Christ of woman, to take power and
control into his hands, and it is fair to
believe woman made of man may have
and exercise civil governmental control.
Because of woman's official position,
and her finer and more delicate physical
structure, God in loving tenderness
shields her from the rougher duties of
life, also from the rougher, sterner du.
ties of divine revelation, granting her
the higher duty and joy of presenting
God Iucarnate, to man. as Redeemer
and Savior, for recognition, acceptance
and worship, electing strong, powerful
men as forerunners and messengers of
the glad tidings.
Our brother says: In arranging the
family or patriarchal government, God
gave headship to man. he also speaks
of the "grand household principles"
laid down in the New Testament. Mel
Their the one nor the other bear the
stamp of Divine authority. God made
for one man one woman, and for one
one man, and Jesus commands
them to live under the same marital re-
strictions. The patriarchal household
government was altogether of mans
