MIR. BEECHER ON THE INNER NAN

and power OF the inner spirit Of man. He said that some
people drew the Bible the teaching that the wear

point that interior adorDmen must go hand in hand with
outward garnshng Oriental women were stdyerS at
home managers Of a household, without education. In
Athens no virtuous educated and knowledge
was an imputation OF mpudcity In this fact lay the
root of the New Testament decree that ahOold
not speak public for they did they would be counted
common. AS Oriental omen were forbidden 10 educate
themselves they spent their time in outward adornment
But Peter and Paul taught the higher education OF
