The Progress of Woman.

The gradual emancipation of women which the
last fifty wears have witnessed shows very clearly
that of it's two pioneers of the last century, the
woman who relied upon her instinct better under
stood the exigencies Of the case than the man VINO
was wholly ruled by reason. Condorcet insisted
upon the immediate accomplishment of the great
end of the new movement. Mary Wollstonecrafs
would have urged rather the adoption, one by one
Of the means which must eventually lead to 1t.
The consequence is that to-day, when the political
sphere in which Condorcet would have placed
women has only just been opened to them, all the
new privileges which Mary Wollstoncratt de-
manded have already been granted. Though I'm.
fortunately too many women still remain the soclal
puppets and shopping dolls Mr.. Pearson has called
them, the ideal of womanhood is certainly differ
emit from that of the eighteenth century 1t IS
impossible to imagine Rousseau to-day beng
seriously listened to if he preached that woman
was made for mans pleasure. The change OF
feeling in this respect was very strkingly empha-
sized when. about eighteen months ago, lbsen
Nora was PLAYED in London; for all the soulful
discussion to which the performance gave rlse' the
dsinterested spectator could not but feel that
while the moral might be all very revolutionary
and edifvinp in Scandinavian countries, III England
if was decidedly behind the times, for the English
or American Nora who continued to live in her
Dolps house would have but herself to thank
When the whole country was but yesterday ring
ing with the late triumphs OF women students az
Cambridge, IL would be useless to do more than

Opposed to Vivisection.

At the annual convention of the National Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union, held in Atlanta
Ca, in November, the following resolution was
offered by the newly elected Superintendent OF the
Department of Mercy, Mrs. Mary F. Lowell, OF
Bryn Mar, Pa, and adopted;
Whereas We believe vivsection to be cruel,
unnecessary, and demoralizing, tending to dete-
rioration of the human soul utterly out of proper
ton to any know benefit to the human body gained
thereby the practice of it thus reversing the
teachings of Christianity;
Resolved, That we will do all in our power to
develop sentiment against it, and because we 90
NOT believe in half measures, nor in licensing any
evil we will do this with view to securing leglS-
lation for its total prohibition.

point ont that Mary Wollstonecraft's theory of
female education has been realized beyond her
most ardent hopes True, her suggestion for the
coeducation of the sexes has not been carried cut,
but something very like it already exists at the
universities, where women are allowed to come up
for the examinations, and the public school system
in the United States virtually meets her views on
national education. Woman's economic position,
though it is not yet what the most radical reform
ers would have it, could not fail to satisfy Mary
Wollstoneeraft's ideal Of womany independence.
That her instinct was not at fault when she recon-
mended the pursuit of medicine for women, the
success of women doctors to-day proves beyond
dispute. And so it is that doctrines which in the
eighteenth century were held to be subversiye Of
ali morality are now thought to be its very basis

tRemember, hretnreh' eFely eino yoo pun
woman in YOU put man out' And, alas many
of the brethren, discarding the golden, have
sdopted the Buckley rule, and openly advocate
tho exclusion of Methodist women frem their own
law-maklng assembly, purely and avowedly be-
cause they are wopen.
Tn this crisis every woman in Methodism, who
remembers that St. Paul promised, for all time,
that in Christ Jesus there should be "neither male
nor female neither bond nor free" should also
remember Cicero's stirring appeal to the noble
minded-1When time and need require, we should
resist with all our might
Time and need now require that every Metho-
dist who is not coward should claim her rlghtful
share in church Inheritance. 1t is duty to resist
Injustice. as means of curbng the selfish love OF
mower in mans heart, which knows no bounds ex-
cept resistance 1t is duty to proclaim the truth
that church inheritance means subdivision of
honors as well as of burdens. 1t is duty to pub
licly and decidedly rebuke the narrow spirit which
is creeping into latter-day Methodism.
For no Methodist woman should forget that
women were as influential in the pulpit in the first
years of its history, as they were in prophesying
in the first years of Christianity. 1t was they
who set the ball rolling.
Although met with jealous opposition by pre-
Buckley-ites then, yet the founder of Methodlsm
himself upheld their extraordinary calls to preach,
and congratulated them that the prejudice of male
preachers was dying away, nearly hundred years
ago. (See Wesey's letter to Sarah Mallet in
Coles sHerones of Methodsm;' his letter to
Miss Bosanquet authorizing her to preach, and Dr.
Taft's comments on the famous Elizabeth Hurrel,
etc.
An English writer ON Methodism in 1907 says
81 have often heard Miss Mary Barrett preach
both in the pulpit and in the open air to immense
crowds of hearers. If one might judge of Miss
Barrets call by the success of her labors it was
very extraordinary, indeed
Thus it is plain to see that the real 'innovation
in Methodism is the attempt to thrust woman out
OF any field che chooses TO enter. Ii SHE has not
cared to attend these conferences until now, sure
" that is not a reason for slamming the door IN
her face when she is at last ready to sit upon her
throne.
How can any missionary 60 to India proclaimng
the superiority of Christianity over Brahmlnlsm as
an especially elevating power for women, followed
by the dsgraceful story OF five able, legally elected
Christian women thrust out of gathering OF their
brethren-solely because they were women! How
can anv American Christian look "the heathen''
in the face without blush, since those 'heathen'
in that great National Conference of India, in
1889, received ten women delegates into their
midst with cheers Of welcome and congratulations
upon woman's entrance into public counsel!

WOMAN.
BY FANNIE G. JACKSON.

The nature of woman but little has changed
Since Eve to the wiles Of Satan did yield
And thus the fair plan of creation deranged.
accepting the charge, poor Adam to SHELBY
For this, she was cursed with sorrows and cares,
And mans dictatons her soul to infest;
But "the Tree Of knowledge" fair fruit still BEARS
And woman undaunted, still strives for the best
And oft you will find, that those who're inclined
TO the study of deep and intricate art,
The duties of Home ever bearing in mind,
To the board its garnishing graces impart;
And fondness may have for laces and frills,
And dainty arrangement of bonnet and gown,
For instinct of beauty dame nature instills
In every woman in country or town.
But Fashion no longer holds absolute sway,
In the widening realm of womans career;
For bustles and trains have seen their best day;
That corsets are waning doth also appear.
For freedom of limb and sensible trim,
Sequences are of knowledge extended,
And folly in the light of sense grows dim
When womanly wit and culture are blended.
The doll faced beauty now seldom is seen,
With powder and paint and delicate air,
The woman of brains is acknowledged the queen,
And regns quite royalty everywhere
O. the day has come, when woman no more
Her time and her care devotes to the glass;
But science pursues as never before,
Striving her masculine mates to surpass.
change she has wrought in philosophys realm,
Combining with logic the lesson of Lowell
In whatever calling she's placed at the helm,
"Oil on the waters" her presence doth prove.
In the school.room she teaches that Kindness
Hath power exceeding the lash or the foa'
In the pulpit demonstrates the blindness
OF faith in cruel and torturing God.
Equipped for the task she pleads at the bar,
Investing the law with heavenly grace
Thus winning name, at home and afar,
AS fair Portia did in Antonios case
In tending the sick, her touch is divine,
Banishng pain, giving comfort and ease;
Though pharmacys terms she well can dehhe,
Prayer exercises the demon, disease.
Knowledoe intuitye nature hath given,
And who will contend that genius is wanting!
Then let the last fetter by freedom be riyen
And silence egotistical Wanting.
Let laws be tempered with womanly lore,
And sex ignored in the casting of votes,
For Darwin has proved that woman Is more
Than a crib" dressed up in petticoats.

The Dill-OdeIl Lectures.

The Rev. James X. Dill from Topeka, Kansas,
and Prof. F. G.. Odell Of Lincoln, Nebraska, as
announced in last weeks CHRONICLE, visited our
citv and gave several public addresses that were
listened to with deep interest by those who availed
themselves of the privilege of hearing these ma
tional speakers. The contrast in conditions be-
tween Prohibition Kansas and High License Ne
braska was highly favorable to the former Start
ing together in 1880 on their respective plans OF
government, the fact is the State Auditor $ ac-
count in each shows that Prohibition Kansas gained
in ten wears $18 000, 900 Of taxable property more
than Nebraska has at the present time. Inc
brewers books show that they have Struggled into
Kansas 900 kegs or barrels Of beer, while Ne
braska has received 129, 0OO.
Tho unconsttutionaity of the liquor business
was ably argued from the decision of Chief Justice
Field, and the line of discussion will run on this
phase in the future. Bro. Dill gave some very
cheering prospects.
The responsibility of the churches, ministers
and people was very forcibly presented. Prof.
Odell not only spoke ringing words for the right,
but gave choice Prohibition music which thrilled
the audiences.
Une or Une mfssioffs of those brothers was to
organize branch of the National League OF
prayer, Ill WHlCH ah VIM Jein r. w ~
earnest prayer for the success OF Prohibition, ana
by each one giving one dollar annually, create
great national fund Gas the liquor dealers do TO
prosecute the work wherever most needed. VI
this branch Mr.. William A. Counts is president,
Mrs. C. A. McDiarmid secretary, and Mrs. Il. nj.
Springer treasurer. This is step In the rlght Oh
rection, and we trust that many will join so that
we can have volume of united prayer going up
to the throne Of Him who has said 'Ihe way
of the wicked He turneth upside down."
The addresses at the School for the Blind and
at Wesley chapel (colored) were highly enjoyed.
The brothers were well pleased with the appear
ance and beauty of our city, except the evidence
of destruction by the multitude of saloons, and
the suffering, sorrow, crime, misery and poverty
which are the bitter fruit of these places OF licensed
iniquity.
o Lord, how long shall we shut our eyes to the
calamity continually around us.
Good news comes from Brinkley. The whisky
was brought, to open an Original Package saloon
The night before it was to open the building took
fire and with several Others burned down, and only
nv great exertion was McCulough's fine hotel and
other buildings prevented from sharing In the con-
fagration. But there was great rejoicing though
the whiskey was saved not person would rent
building to carry on the nefarious traffic, Mrs.
Black, who has quite number, saying no, not
one of her buildings should be used for that pur-
pose. May the day speedily come when others
shall follow the noble example.
