The Burmese Idea of Women.
Bow Bella

Burmese women are treated well in fam
lily, and they are the equals Of men in fam
iIy affairs. They have their say in the
business matters, and the only place in
which their inferiority is noticeable is in re-
ligion. The Burmese are Buddhists, and a
Buddhist woman has no chance to 60 to
Heaven save by her soul at death passing
into the body OF man. II she is wonder
fully pious in this life such . transmigra-
ton may take place. and | note that the
chief worshipers at the pagoda here are
women. Buddhist teachers put women
much lower in the scale of morality than
men, and they maintain that the sins of
one woman are equal to the sins OF 1910 of
the worst men that ever lived. There are
about 200, o00, 600 women in the world, and
none OF these have any other hope of in-
mortality than this. Nevertheless. am
told that the Burmese women are more
honest than the men, and that their BUSH
ness promises are to he trusted. They are
not educated as q rule. and it is only lately
that there have been schools in Burmah
for women

What Hell Is Not.
Phiiaeielnhia lnauircr.


What hospitals and asylums are to the
diseased in this world hell is to the sinner
in the spiritual world" was the conclusion
arrived at last night by the Rev. Chauncey
Giles, of the Church OF the New Jerusalem,
in his lecture on What He'll Is Not
The subject was treated under the follow.
ing propositions: Hell is not place for
the purpose of punishment: the sufferings
OF the wicked do not consist of remo.se
and the stings of conscience; the finally
impenitent do not suffer from regret or
shame for the sins OF the past: they are
not tormented with despair of going to
heaven, and their condition is not one of
constant suffering.
1.-The generally accepted meaning of pun
ishment. he said. us entirely foreign to
the laws of nature. which have their origin
in the wisdom of God, and they can not
rise above him nor he above them.
Punishment is generally considered
as q vindication of the law, but
does it do this !? Law is a rule
OF action made to be kept. Does punish
ment restore law which has been broken
Does hanging murderer restore the life
which he has taken2 Divine justice is not
a cold, hard, ceAt-for-cent, Shylock justice"
Mr.. Giles then spoke of the tortures of
the Inquisition, and propounded the query:
.Will God invent punishmentse even greater
than these for those who violate the divine
law2r Prisons. the speaker contended.
were not for punishment, but as . restraint
for evil-dOers, so that they could not harm
others, and in the same way hell Is 10 re-
strain the wicked in the spiritual world, and
MT IN forkura them Sin WaS lkened In \
spiritual disease, which could not Be cured
By punishment.
1.-THE Lord seeks the good Of the lowest
devil" he said. las assiduously as he does
of the highest angel. The wicked have their
delights and loves in the spirit land. They
may be the delights of swine and brutes.
hut they are the best they can have. and
they will have them in the spirit land"
