The Inequality OF the Moral Meas
urenent.--.A Plea for Woman's
Rights.

AhiShtS
We make the following extract from q
sermon delivered in Trinity Church June
%, 1871, by the Rector Rev. John Eer-
shaw:
"Why may not a female preserve the
name and social position Of lady who
does these things and follows the bent OF
her inclinatiOnS as we'll as 4 man the
name and position of gentleman who
does The same things? Why should she
suffer all the penalties OF being & social
outcaSt, q byword and rcpruach anG a
man not? Why may she not frequent
the places men frequent and do the things
they do, with as little loss Of respect and
esteem as they? Is it any more morally
wrong III one than in the other? Is il
right for him, but wrong for her? If it
is right for a man it must also tc right
for Il man If wrong for d woman it
must for the same reason be wrong for q
man. 1t will not do TO say such a thing
is unladylikc-that is a purely artificial
distinction and has for its exponent only
the voice of public opinion which varies
with every age. If morals only have
their base III n convenient public opinion
it is a baselcss base; but if morals are
based upon something higher than per-
petually 1luctuating and changing public
opinion, then the issue cannO be avoided
by the intersection OF the term unlaGv-
like, and ii must be conceded that it is
morally as wrong for 4 man to do these
things as for q woman and the same
measure should be meted to both,
without this manifest Partially and inc
quality"
