/ have found the Baptist Church
here In very successful condition; the
people are full of enthusiasm and,
among the various Protestant ,lnnomi,

the m6st aggressive and enterprising

United States are certainly much bet

Our editices can not be compared in
architectural beauty to yours.
The interior of the American church
is in striking contrast TO the London
Baptist churches. You make your
buildings more comfortable, more
hOme-ilke, in many cases more luxuri-
Gus. 1t is sometimes thought that
churches can be made too luxurious,

we are forced to admit that the state
ment is very rich in suggestion. Prob
ably there is no trait of human nature
that serves better to mark the subtle
distinction between manly and womanly
character than the quality of fortitude
in woman-her ability to bear pain and
sorrow in digniiied, patient silence.
This is woman's courage, as distin-
guished from mans dashing bravery
which leads him into the thick of dan
ger and adventure in his desire for
excitement. TO thoughtful woman
our writer's little maxim seems to con-
tain the germ of carefully observed,
well-attested fact. At least the ac-
ceptance of it explains much that is
otherwise extremely misleading and
puzzling.
How tedious, for instance, have be-
come the misanthropic walls of the cal
low rhymster of the period, usually a
young man who affects the extreme
Byronic style, in hair-dressing, collars,
and morals, the only thing about Lord
Byron which he fails to initiate being
the latter's genius This individually
studies in feminine human nature
having usually been in those doubtful
fields and byways to which an I'M
wholesome and erotic fancy would
naturally lead him, the results whole
sale condemnation, in studied meters,
of our poor sex, and this with all ..,e
assurance of ignorance.
There is too much of this nonsense
being written and spoken against
women. In certain sense we our
selves have, through hearing it SO long,
almost learned to accept it rs partly
true, and do not protest much against
| it. In this submission-this meek tacit
| acceptance of certain cut and dried
maxims, which are only worn-out iic-
| tions-we are somewhat in the same
frame of mind as was Topsy, in an in.
stance in uncle Toms Cabin" Miss
| Ophelia was determined that TOpsy
should confess her sins, and poor Top
sy, casting about in her mind for some
thing to confess, at last made up an
elaborate and entirely false account OF
CRIME that had not been committed,
namely, the theft of Miss Eva's ear
rings. When the falsehood was de-
tected, Topsy's explanation was that
Miss Ophelia would have her TESS
to her misdeeds, and she could think
of nothing bad enough that she had
committed, so made up a story about q
sin she had not committed.
The morbid browbeating of genera
tions has had its effect upon women.
We are born penitents, burning to
"fess." Alas! our harmless little sub
terfuges, usually prompted by heart
full of truest love, our white lies, with
white motives back of them-how pa
thetically innocent and harmless dc
they appear in comparison with the
deliberate and elaborate system of de,
ceit practiced not toward us alone, but
toward their fellow men, by our ac
cusers every day.
