70 shs Editor II Tbs Chicago Traouzs:
CHICAGO, May 21.-Thanks to TIE TRIBUNE
for inserting in .its columns my inquiry OF the
10th inBt concerning the authority of woman to
teach the Bible. hope SONS Of tho readers 1t
TIE TRIBUNE win be 80 kind AZ to answer my
inquiry and state the authority.
A letter appeared in HR|TRIBuHK,of Sunday,
May 16, signed Unlro, which contains i catalogue
Of iIems ct Bible- work done BY women in thu
City Of Chicago, in which it il also stated that
Mr. D. L. Moody imported tha:plan Of: the work
from England, aid intrusted the management of
this Bible-work to Miss Emma Dryer By this it
appears that Mr. .. L. Moody il the
author of = Bett1ng up women as Bible
teachers in Chicago; IT, so, it is quite plain
that Mr. D. T.. Moodymust be either ignorant
of the word Of God, or ;-ha wlllfully
wresta it TO suit his purpose. But God, that
knows all things, knows what is best for women
to do. and He says: :: But suffer not woman
to teach, nor usarp authority over the man. but
to be in sileuce." ~:
Omro,i acknowledge this pa.sAge Of the Holy
Scriptures to be the true word of God Z If 80,
do they believe it, But it they profess to- be-
leve 1t. they evidently dany it by their works.
Again God says: - Lot your women keep ailcnce
thou1'so speak ;"-''f for it is sharn6 for women
to speak IN the church."
F: Now. these passages Of Gods word are so
plain that they require no human; interpretation
to make them more simple, but it ia the. nature
OF stubborn man and naughty woman, when they
they want to attain to purpose, to pe1ve,t at
any sacrifice tbs plainest word Of God, and do
violence to the spirit Of grace. II God's words
and Mr. D: L. Moody's words be compared, it
will be easily seen how Tar they agree, viz: God
says: But suffer not woman to teach, bor
