SHALL WOMAN PREACH?
How She stnuds I'm various Religion
Denominations.

How She Stauds I'm Various Religious
Denominations.
Philadelphia Pros,
The womau.in,the-pulpi question has
been troubling the Uniyersalists in their
convention at Washington. Itiso one ofthose
which periodically come up in some form
or other in several Of the leading denomi-
nations. Some Of the denominations are
willing to recognize the power Of woman
as q speaker and an evangelical, but there
is a strong feeling against bestowing regu-
lar ordination on her. A few Universalist
and Congregationaiist ladies regularly sup
DIV pulpits. There Ia an instance some
where out West where q pastor has o
preaching wife who supplies his pulpit
when he ia disabled or absent. The
Methodist Church has consented to
license lady preachers, but refuses to or
dain them. Among the Baptists, ladies
exhort in prayer meetings and missionary
meetings, but are not in demand as pulpit
orators or pastors. The Protestant Episco.
pal Church has OF late years taVorably con-
sidered the subject oil "~deaconesses," but
has not invited the ladies, who make them
selves useful in this capacity to exercise
their gifts OF oratory. The Roman Catholic
Church finds abundant use for the noble
work for its Sisters Of Charity, but does
not ask them to preach. The Presbyterian
Church stoutly sets its face against woman
preachers, although there is in that COM
munity a large minority in favor Of the ex'
erciss Of womanly gifts in the exhorting,
exp )uuding and evangelical lines
OF Christian effect. The principal passage
in tho Scriptures which Is relied on to close
the mouth OF woman is that in which st.
Paul says: "Let your women keep silence
in the churches" But q difficulty arises
in regard to this, from the fact that almost
in the same breath st. Paul quite az posi-.
lively iorbids the wearipgof pearls or orna-
ments OF gold. Outside OF the Society OF
Friends, in which the women speak rs
freely as the men, nobody seeks to enforce
the Injunction as to ornaments. II 1t were
enforced among Christian women It would
ruin half the jswelry stores in Christen-
dom. And as to keeping silence in
churches" it Is not strictly enforced on
women. Many a lady organist. makes
more noise than the minister, and 80 1t is
with the lady caoir-singers. Some ladies
have infant classes and Bible classes
which are larger than some OF the
congregations which male preachers ad.
dress. The Universalists settled the trou-
blesome question by very neat device.
It had come up in connection with the ed
ucation OF young men for the ministry. The
proposal had been made to include young
women among the ministerial students.
After a long and sparkling discussion, the
convention agreed to make 1t read "young
persons" So the problem Of co-education
In that denomination Is solved for the pres
emit, at least. Unless some profound theo-
man Is not a "person," the Universalist
ministry is open to such young ladies as
may apply. AS for the elderly ladies', II
there are such, no provision is made for
them. Perhaps they had better not seek

About Divorce.


' AS"@
Divorce? Well, some people make a
mistake when they come together, and they
continue the mistake 80 long IS they re-
main together. A brute OF a man married
a hard working woman eleven years ago,
and induced her to steal from TIE store in
which she was saleswoman, for the support
Of the family, while he INDUCED in the lux.
ury OF lager beer, but never in the luxury
OF work. Every week she gave the stolen
property into his keeping, and the funds &C
cruing from the sale thereof he expedi-
tiously spent, but not for rent or for bread.
at last she tires OF that kind OF life, and
wrenches herself from his grasp, deter
mined to be honest ut all hazards. Then
the aforementioned brute informs concern
ing his wife, and takes q sweet revenge in
having her arrested. That she was weak,
is true; that a woman has no right to steal,
even for her husband and children, Is easily
conceded. But somehow We can't we'll
help grinding our teeth when we see the
poor woman marched off to prison and
know that the evidence against the
brute is such that he may possibly return
to his lager beer. There is something wrong
somewhere when such things can be.
