The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1890-11-22

4 Fork, 18th DiStrict.--On Sunday last the
vote was taken in Fork Church on the question
of admitting women as delegates to the General
| Conference of the NJ. E.. Church. The result
was for and IL against Many of the men,
bers were absent, some took no interest in 1t
i and others were not sufficiently enlightened to
| know what il meant. One good sister said she
really did not know anything about it. III it
was to vote for union in the church she was
willing for that all the time. Another said she
would not vote, but if she did she'd vote
against. / don't think there is shadow OF
chance for her ever to be sent as delegate to
the Conference. As two-thirds Of the MEM
4 bers are women it is very evident they have
voted against it in most of the churches show
/ ing very plainly that they do not wish to as
sumo the grave responsibility OF nelplng 10
think women only fit for household duties.
| This may be true of some. am satisfied there
are as smart women in the church as some of
the male delegates sent to the Conference.
Those opposed are only afraid to let the women
in for fear they'll outshine the men. In the
past, when the subject of admitting men as
lay delegates was discussed, there was just as
| much opposition. 1t is only question OF time.
/ It's bound to come.
