1t was then, among the people of a
pure and grand religion, where moral
law existed of the straitest sort that
woman first rose from the mere dust,
respecting herself as she received re-
spect, feeling her first thrills of aspira-
ton. And it was under the develop
ment of this same religion in its lowell
est and loftiest life that she became the
object of tender regards that she ceased
to be a slave, that the world was
opened to her to use according to her
powers, and in the lines marked out by
her own nature, its Limitation here, its
boundlessness there. 1t is under the
reign OF Christianity that woman has
come to her full opportunity and has
taken her place beside man; it is under
the benignant law of the leader whose
first recorded word after the stone had
been rolled from the sepulcher was
woman" that she can go forward still,
and in moving take with her her son
and her sons sons 1t is under
this dispensation that it has
come to be understood that
"The woman's cause is mans; they rise or
sink
Together; dwarfed or godlike, bond or free;
For she that out of Lethe scales with man
The shining steps Of nature shares with man
His nights, his days. moves with him to one
goal,
Stays all the fair young pl met in her hands
II she be small. slight natured, miserable,
Aow shall men grow.''
--Harper's Bazar.
