Hundley arose, and after reading passages
from Bible and singing, selected his text from
the II chapter OF John 2S and 20 verses. Mr.
Hundley selected as his theme "Women'
Position Socially and Otherwise in tht
World" He very graphically delineated the
condition Of women, and reviewed the history
of women from the time Of mother Eye or
that the uplifting OF woman has been promot
ed by the on ward and sure growth OF christian
ity and that civilization is not the anteceden1
Of civilization. Mr.. Hundley then showed
vice" He portrayed the fallen and degraded
condition or women with the heathens ant
barbarous nations OF the earth and that the
onward growth or religion has called woman
from her degraded bondage and thralldom tt

mon by the application of Woman's Duty tt
Woman. He selected as the grand work o
this idea the words Of Martha 10 Mary upon
the arrival of the master In the town of Beth

Hundley's sermon was one that embodles the
grace and eloquence Of man Of deep thought
, fnu il
and fluent and ready speaker, and upon the
whole he made complete capture OF his gu
