William Henry Bigelo~ was born in that
part Of Skowhegan formerly Bloomfield
October 25 1888, being the third child of
George and Martha b Bigelow. He early
manifested great desire for an education,
and in 1852 started for California for the
express purpose of obtAipi money to as.
sist him in getting an edu-ation. He left
with the determination to return as coon as
this object was sttained. He went the
I.thmus route, and arriving in California
went into the diggings. He was fortunate
| in the mines, and in 2 little less than year
from the time he left home returned with a
suff ient sum, as he thought, to carry him
through college. After fitting At the old
Bloomfield Academy he entered Union Col
lege at Schenectady, N. Y, where he re,
mained three years.
He vas so impatient to enter business hav.
ing made up his mind to enter the profession
of Law, that he did not remain to graduate
Returning to Skowbegan he entered the Law

Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-11-29

advocate young women serving an apprenticeship
at baby farming before marriage. Yet as be says,
the lawyer and physician devote years of training
to their profession. True-and of what Importance
is their vocation to that Of the mothers of the
human race?
Now, then, there is only one practical way to
fit woman for her DUDES in life-and that way is
employed in the 'woman's movement"
Anything that tends to educate her will tend to
better tit her for her sacred work. Whatever de-
velops her natural intelligence, Of which she has d
great stock, else she could not possess the versa
tility which society, the old gentleman included,
accords to her-whatever increases her capabilities
will make her more skilful worker in her sphere.
The advanced woman is to the field of maternity
what the mower and reaper are to agriculture.
When all women begin to think their own thoughts
Ito see with their own eyes and hear with their
own ears-we shall have race of intelligent
mothers fitted for the life-work your elderly CORE
spondent refers to-.
1t seems strange that the Creator gave her eyes
and ears and thoughts when she had man to think
and see and hear for her. But He deputized no
mortal-not even man himself-as custodian of
what should be regarded as the sphere of woman.
But He appointed such God-like sentinel to the
charge-as vigant, as unerring, as divine as the
angels therselves-when he placed in woman's
breast mothers heart. Think you woman would
ever be able even if she so desired 10 evade that
sentinel?
1t has taught her versatility through all the
ages; it has been the source OF the everhowng
fountain of hope, and when it is allied to the brain
woman will blaze path to the millennium.

he cannot find it any earlier than Stephen de Bour-
bon, in 1872 A. d. But he seems to forget that
expunging was as great an accomplishment
amongst those gentry IS interpolating Before
the middle Of the third century, A. d., Origen
wakes indignant over his brethren who palm off
letters forged in his name to njure him, and ex-
claims "If they act thus with the living, what
liberties will they not take with the works of the
dead!" And Abraham Exchellent is even more
explicit; writing of the Council OF Nice, he as
serts, 'Nor did the orthodox abstain from perse-
cutting the Church OF God, but rather were worse
than heretcs, for in some places they altered the
scriptures and in some places they added to them,
and in some places they expunged those passages
which were least favorable to their doctrines, and
substituted other things of their own invention
Does it not seem then within the range Of prob
ability that churchmen, who did not scruple to ex-
punge from the very scriptures what did not suit
them, would not hesitate to expunge from their
chronicles the history of how woman outwitted
the Church of Rome, il it finally suited them to
do so?
The fact that Pope Joan was SO long given to
the world as an historical TRUTH and was enshrined
amongst the popes even after death revealed that
she was woman, should justify us in believing in
her now.
Especially should the Methodist women hold on
to the memory Of Pope Joan, who achieved 80
great a triumph by her piety and learning. For II
woman occupied for three years, with credit to
herself and the church, this regal position, what
can be more absurd than for so progressive body
as the Methodsts claim to be to refuse lay
woman the much lower privilege of attending
40 T.
course, be acknowledged that nineteenth century
ideas of ''pety" have changed considerably from
those popular in the ninth, and no pious woman Of
this day, even in zeal to serve,her Church, could
follow Joan's example in taking such an office sur
reptitiously. But as precedent she is altogether
too precious to be lightly dispensed with.

$3.50 Nineteen times out Of twenty have
remarked that the true paradise Of female life in
all ranks not too elevated for constant inter-
course with the children, is by no means the years
of courtship, nor the earliest period Of marriage,
but that sequestered chamber of her experience in
which mother is left alone through the day, with
servants perhaps in distant part of the house,

imperfect in its prattling and innocent thoughts,
clingng to her, haunting her wherever she goes as
her shadow catching from her eye the total inspi-
ration of its little palpitating heart, and sending
to hers a thrill Of secret pleasure so often as its
little fingers fasten on her own. Left alone from
morning to night with this one companion, or even

be reposing on the little couch and in the morning,
duly as the sun ascends in power, she sees before
her long, long day of perfect pleasure in this

A Precedent For Methodists.

Ellen Battelle Dietrich, in Boston Evening Transcript
This is very interesting discussion now going
on in the Methodist Church, as to whether, since
laymen have been admitted as delegates to their
general conference, laywomen may, or may not,
be admitted likewise.
It gives the three million women of Methodism
most excellent opportunity to learn the real in
wardness of the sentiments cherished by many be-
loved pastors for their faithful "female helpers.
Rev. Mr. Bamford objects to having any femi-
nine assistance whatever in making Church laws for
the following reasons: ga good legislator must
have three great qualities we'll developed. 2 He
must have knowledge he must have wisdom; he
must have progressveness and conservatism hap
PLY balanced That women in general do not ex-
eel in such qualities Of mind as these will not be
seriously questioned"
Since nearly all legislation is a history Of the
construction, by one set of masculine lawmakers,
statutes as speedily as possible to be undone by
their successors, we might conclude that Mr.. Bam-
ford three great qualities are not so generally
developed anywhere as could be desired. But it
is instructive to know that he thinks women ignor-
ant, unwise and Unbalanced. 1t is good for them
to arrive at an understanding of their deficiencies.
But why, in the name of all that is consistent,
does he not speedily advise them to spend not an
other hour in raising money to pay preachers, that
would so much better be occupied in acquiring
knowledge, wisdom, and mental poise? Evidently,
if we accept his authority, church-going and
church-working has had little power to inn
prove their barren minds and may be set aside as
failure.
Another anxious watcher over tender womans
welfare, Rev. Z. L. Fancher, LII. D., is sadly
afraid, "should this convusive movement sue
coed, :" that it would 'invoke the derision OF the
wise men of other denominations" Now that
would be q great pity, for Methodism might not be
able to live second time through the derision OF
wise men with which it was so tremendously deluged
in the beginning of its career. 1t is not the first
time, however, that church grown rich and re-
spectacle has also grown ashamed Of the poverty
stricken days when it was glad to have womsa's
services in any capacity she chose. 1t would APP
pear from this that woman is good ladder, but
poor climber
But it is the Rev. T. A. Goodwin who voices
