societv Women Before Christ

Principal Donaldson. of st Andrew S.
an eminent Christian scholar. has
startled the Christian world by recant-
ing or recalling his belief that woman
owes her present high position 20 Chris
tianity. He finds that the first three
centuries Of Christianity, so far from
having any favorable effect on women.
tended TO lower their character and
contract the range OF their activity.
Yet the world need not have been
startled. Principal Donaldson himself
is more surprised than the occasion re
quires. lie confOuuds the Christianity
OF Christ with the Christianity OF the
Church of the first three centuries. He
admits that in the gospels no special
doctrine was propounded with regard
70 women, while principles were ut
| tered. influences were set astir, which
mean ultimately the highest feminine
development. 1t is subsequent Church

Mr. Moody's New Training school.


Mr.. Moody has announced the addi-
ton of a new and somewhat unique
institution to those already established
under his care and by means of his re-
markable energy at Mortified. This,
as described in the Springfield Union.
is to be training school for women.
which will combine a course of Bible
study with thorough drill in the depart
ments of dressmaking and cooking.
The idea of the school seems To have
been suggested to Mr. Moody by the
practical needs which disclosed them
selves IN connection with the work of
the Bible Institute of Chicago. of which
he is president. The workers connected
with that institute, as they 90 from
door to door, encounter many cases OF
need which can be successfully met only
by those who are qualified TO give ready
and in household matters. The new
training school at Mortified is de-
signed to meet the needs of ladies who
desire the ability to reach needy homes
in a practical way. and who wish TO
equip themselves for more efficient
work as Bible teachers in their Sunday
Schoo classes, and all kinds of church
and mission work. Mr.. Moody opens
the Mortified Training School in Octo-
Der for tw % terms of three months each,
the first term 10 close at Christmas
time, and the second term, beginning
in January, will close in March. The
best trained teachers will be employed
to superintend the three departments.
The building occupied bv the school
will be the hotel, The Mortified. - a
building in which the appointments ale
most inviting, and which Will accom-
modate from fifty TO one hundred la
dies. The total expense for one term
will be 500. Any one desiring further
information may address Miss Gertrude
Hubert, the Revell House, East North
field, Mass.
