Women in the Church.
IRey. ]. w. Rashford. !

The time has come for the Church to ad-
vance upon this question. The sweeping
changes taking place in regard to woman's
position are not appreciated by US. "With-
in scarcely more than decade and half,
10 co-educational Universities and
Colleges have sprung into being in this
country. They outnumber by more than
thirty all the Colleges for men and all the
Colleges for women taken together" The
example ofthe United States has been fol-
lowed by the Universities of London, Paris
Rome and Copenhagen and by part of the
German Universities. For years certain
women desired to min ister to their sisters in
many delicate diseases. They were denied
not simply the right to practice while in
competent. but fair chance to qualify
thems Ives at our medical schools and the
right TO practice alter they had earned a
degree by private study. The prejudices OF
the conservative medical profession are
giving way; women are admitted TO the
first medical schools in America to-day and
nave as good legal right to practice med
icine as have men. Despite the barriers and
the interminsble delays with which we
ministers charge our legal brethren. legal
barriers against the sex have broken down
and the highest Court in the country now
welcomes women TO IFS bar.
The evsngelic Churches are guilty OF a
double injustice upon this subject. The
Church has had more devotion and service
offered her by women than any other insti-
tuition on earth. Two-tnirds of hex member
ship AID much of her support comes from
women. Women have been freely chosen,
often without pay, to work among our hard
est and vilest classes as city missionaries
Side by side with their brothers, women are
! trying TO plant the standard OF the cross IN
our hard snd unreeognized mission fields in
South America. They are trying day and
night to save their Chinese sisters in San
Francisco. 1t was O woman who saved oul
mission in Africa. 1t is women who are
piercing the caste Of India Twelve girls
have gone out like martyrs to the fatal mis-
sion OF Liberia For the Church to hole
that the Bible allows and nature and Goo

dangerous part of the Christian service anC

physicians and professors are all granting
women their rights, that the Bible and ma
tuse and God all forbid her to grant womer

Wide Awake Boys.
IYonth's Companion.l

I1Outh'S compartment
The head of large business firm in Bos
ton, who was noted for his keenneas in dis
corning character, was seated ut his desk one
dav, when young Irish lad came up and
took { Fl bis hat, smiling.
"Do you want boy, sir2'
Mr. J. looked ct him.
81 did not a minute ago. But l do now,
and you are the Boy"
He said after wards that he was completely
captured by the honest, frank, sll-alive face
before him. The boy entered his service,
rose to be a confidential clerk, and is now a
successful merchant.
Here is another story in which our boy
readers may 6ud a hint worth attention.
Thirty years ago, Mr.. H., q nurseryman
In New York State, left home for day or
two. 1t WAS rainy weather and not the Sea-
son for sales out q customer arrived from q
distance, tied up his horse and found his
way 10 the kitchen of the farm house, where
two lads were cracking nuts.
"Mr H. at homer"
mo, sir" said the eldest, Joe, hammering
at nut.
"When will be be back7"
~DLunO, sir. Meb5e not for week"
TIE other boy, Jem, jumped up ard fol-
loved the man out. The men are not here,
bDt can show you the stock" he said, with
such bright, courteous manner that the
stranger, who was little irritated, stopped
and followed him through the nursery,
examined the trees and left his order.
"You have sold the largest bill that have
had for this season, Jem." his father, great
" pleased, said to him ON his return.
"I'm sure" said Joe, sullenly, "Tm as
willing to hep as Jem, if I'd thought in
time"
A few years afterwards, those two boys
were left By their fathers failure and death
with bit two or three hundred dollars
each. Joe with them bought acre on
two near home. Tie land was poor, the
crops scanty. the market low BE ha:
worked hard and faithfully, but is still a
Door. discOntented man. Jem bought an
emigrant's ticket to Colorado, hired as q
cattle-driver for a couple Of years, with his
wages bought land at forty cents an acre
butt himself g house and married. Hi
herds Of cattle are numbered by the thou
sand, his land has been cut up for town lots
and ne is ranked as one of the wealthles

"Imight have done like Jem," his broth
or said, lately, 'if I'd thought In time

His wife. hearing him. gave sorrowfa
laugh "raere's as good stuff.in that loaf o
bread AS IN any 1 ever made" she said
~But nobody can eat 1t. There isnot enough

able was true.
This quick, wide-swake energy which
scts as haven in character is partly nat
ural. But it can be inculcated by parent
and acquired by a boy, if he chooses to keel
his eyes open and to act promptly sn'
boldly IN every emergency.

A Wariike Parrot.
IGoldea Days.t


aOld Abe" the war eagle of a Wisconsin
regiment, will be famous in history as the
bird who delighted in battles. Strange as
may seem, mis- career is psralleled by that of
parrots.
A gstleman who lives on Preston street,
in Louisville, Ky. owns parrot with cur
rious history. The parrot is large black
bird, with bright. piercing eyes. When
ever he becomes excited, he raises himself to
his fall height and ruffles his crest in q
manner that is quite startling. He is now
sixty three years old.
Just before the last war in this country,
he was bought Dy Gen Rousseau, who
taught the bird many military expressions.

ward March,
He went with Gen. Rousseau to the front,
and soon became great favorite with the
soldiers. On one occasion, when Gen
Rousseau knew there was going 70 be hard
fighting. he fastened Che bird in tent.
Polly was in a rage, and at last, working
his way out at the canvas door of the tent,
flew toward his regiment, which was now
holly engaged in battle.
The regiment raised loud cheer when
the parrot appeared and fearlessly perched
upon the pommel of Gen. Rousseau's saddle.
The General tried to make him go back,
but the bird refused, and always after that,
when the regiment was about to advance,
the Generals odd companion could be seen
sitting defantly in front Of his master.
There come Rousseau and his parrot"
soon became by-word with the soldiers.
The parrot remained with the regiment un-
til the end of the war.
He became so used to the sound of the ar
tillery that he could mimic the roar OF a
cannon, and even now the sound of drum
will cause his feathers to raffle and his eyes
to flash.

Nature and Sex.

Tr. w. Higginson in Woman's Journal.i
Why do men and women accept Jesus
Christ as an exemplar, why do many Of
them adore her who brought Him into the
world, if not that they recognize the great
outlines of virtue as common to both sexes2
If both must be courageous, If both are to
6e compassionate, those qualities must be
educated; but they must be most nourished
whose nature does least If the girl is
naturally mere tender, she needs to be
taught courage as well; if the boy is ma
turally drawer, he needs to be carefully
trained to tenderness. Whereas, many
people seem to think that there is no way
of keeping boy from being milksop ex-
cept to let him lord it over his little sister;
and no way to make a girl lovable except
to make her afraid OF her own shadow.
Unfortunately, example, which is the
most potent form of training comes in to
help out these excuses The boy will never
learn refined tenderness by seeing his
mother treated with contempt; the girl will
find it hard to learn courage after she has
once heard her mother shrek at spider.
"No amount of rational argument says
Jean Paul, "will ever outweigh the mothers
scream" Reformers are accused OF trying
to force or correct nature; but 1t is cOnserva-
tives who do that. The process by which
nature combines attributes for the sexes is
far fairer thar any educational systems can
counterfeit. She does not, as some OF our
philosophers would fain do, take all the
brains and put them into one being ard say
''This is a man." and then put all the hearts
into another and say, This is a woman
She does not give one he monopoly o.
c,,ursoe and the other tenderness and ther
say, Mix the two at your peril. You cen
found the sexesI" But she mixes them fol
herse elf, to begin with, gives share OF eacf
desirable quality to each sex; and yet com
mingles them in such profound wisdom tina
the one is Enthusiastically man AID the othel
PROFESSIONALLY woman. They differ not q
black night and broad day, but rather as tn
sunrise and the sunset, where every tint
every trait is held in common, and yet NJ
competent eye can doubt for one instant, i

Probably One-half the property holders of
Germantown are ignorant of the fact that
on each recurring 1st of May they possess
the privilege of voting to place seven gentle
men in the Board of Trustees of the old
Academy standing at the School lane and
Green street, and around which cluster rich
memories of Revolutionary days. The
right of property owners to so vote is vested
IN the Academy ancient charter, but for
years they have displayed shocking negli-
gence To tuln up at the polls. As one OF
the Trustees remarked last night: I'VE
really have trouble in getting enough people
to come out to give the election an actual

At Z o'clock yesterday morning the three
gentlemen appointed to conduct the eiec-
ton took their seats in the venerable school
house. with the ballot-box before them. At
noon but four ballots were in the box; at ,
o'clock the tally-sheet showed there were
six, and at Z o'clock, when the poll closed
and the ballots counted, but eleven were
found. There was no opposition to the fol-
lowing, who were declared elected: Dr. Will

The present is the 12lst school year of the
antique establishment. 1t is under charge
of Professor William Kershaw, who has a
staff of ten instructors to teach 200 ideas
how TO shoot. The boys are rung to their
books,by a bell which came from England
in the same ship that brought the famous
tea which was thrown into Boston han Dor by
the colonists, who were Disguised with tax
alton without representation. On the steeple
survives the wooden image of royal crown
which the Juvenile rebels of Germantown
during the Revolution, used to pelt with ar
rows, and which was the cause of several
colonial town meetings held to demand its
removal.
During the Revolution the building wa:
used as hospital and in 1898 both the Con
gress of the United States and the General
Assembly of Pennsylvania made application
for its use as a hall in which those bodies
could sit. The history of the Academy
makes a respectable and interesting volume
and will be issued in ten days by publish
ing house of this city. 1t was edited by
Horace Smith, Esq, and but go volumes
will be printed, 100 of which will be takeI
by the Trustees. There is a valuabl,
museum connected with the school, which
contains, among other things, the field-Glas
used by Washington at the battle of Ger
mantown.

though each contains enough of truth to
make it plausible To depreciate or ignore
fine manners is essentially absurd. Their
charm is irresistible, even to those who
fancy themselves proof against them. Yet
It Is not so much in themselves or for their
own sake that they delight us as in the
promise of something better and deeper.
They are signs or symbols of character,
feelings, affections, thoughts and it is to
this that they owe their value and their
charm.
