SEX NoTA PROFESSION.
Mrs. Ames Says That 1t Is Some-
times a Misfortune.

BOSTON, May 27.-The Goth anniversary of
the Unitarian Association opened this morn
ing in fremont Temple. Hon. G. S. Hale in
the chair. The report Of the nominating
committee was presented by the chairman,
John Cordner. The committee recommend
ed that since it had been long affirmed
principle of the association that women
share In the direction, the number becomes
purely matter of expediency. The report
further said that the property of the associa--
tion amounts to half million dollars, and
men having larger experience in financial
matters THAN women, in this respect COM
mand more general confidence.

ter considerable discussion and acceptance

men, and while provision was made for four
women on the board, she thought no instruc-
tion Of sex should be made, but directors
elected entirely on merit
htf. DEOOho odlu was uUuc w
expedite matters, and no slight was meant
to the women, The clergy did not feel slight
ed because they were singled out in the pro-
vision and limited in number
"But," said Mrs. Ames, "sex is not
a profession. It is sometimes misfortune"
Upon final vote the clause referring to
women stood.
The report presented the following nomin-
ations:
President-G. S. Hale, Boston.
