Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-02-08
SAYS the Arkansas Churchman:

Initial steps have been taken to organize new "Womans
Christian Temperance Union" upon partisan basis the
old organization having committed itself to the National Pro-
hbition party the movement will only guard against
one other eccentrcy of the old society," will command the
confidence all true friends of temperance We repu
ate the womans suffrage heresy the root of which is blank
atheism, and the end thereof-social anarchy.
And when, in the history Of our country, have
women been leaders of 'social anarchy" Rather
is it not true that the best features in our social
system have ever rested upon the greater moral
force, which characterzes the female sex? Few
but claim that the home and the church are the
Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-02-08

Y0l..II.-NO..

TWO purest institutions OF the present age, and
who are responsible for these? Surely none will
deny that women have made and keep the home,
and is there one place beneath the vaulted skies
farther removed from anarchy than the homes Of
our country? Women do but small portion Of
the preaching in the churches, but they do by far
the larger share of the praying and if the roots Of
blank atheism are to be found in the churches
they have not been planted there by women who
for eighteen hundred years have been true and hum
BILE followers of the meek and lowly Jesus. Neither
CAN'T be substantated by facts that the exercise
of the right of franchise has ever, at any time in
history, been productive of atheism. Then what
wild assertion, without even a precedent as a
corner stone upon which to rest it, to claim that
the mere right of franchise would make atheists of
women. Oh how little of faith and how small
the reverence and respect displayed by the Ar
kansas Churchman for the great hosts of mother
hearted, pure, good women that the world has
known and holds today.
To be told that you are not strong enough, wise
enough, good enough to be entrusted with the
ballot, to exercise right that has been fully ac
corded the most 3'lt5-ate foreigner that may
chance to seek our shores, or the lowest, most
ignorant and immoral types Of mankind that dwell
among us.
Is it for this dear hearts, that you have prayed7
Is it for this that you have bent your heads in
meek and lowly reverence before the divine teach
ings Of Him, who was the woman first best friend?
Is it for this you have abored to broaden the
boundaries of His Holy Kingdom? Somewhere
there is discord; something which needs at
tuning 1t cannot be His teachings. They were
clearly distinct and harmonious. The trouble must
be with those who teach, and being born of a
"stiff-necked generation teach their own doc
trines, setting men to rule with arrogance and OPP
preston over the better half of their own human
existence. "By their works ye shall know them"
and by their teachings you shall learn how far they
have hearkened unto Christ.
The Churchman concludes:
years ago. the editor of this paper in conversan
with the president of the Alabama branch OF the W. CT u
predicted that the society would be seized as tool by the
politicians and that the result would bo split in the O.
T. U.
The Churchman seems to take special delight
in dark predictions, and revels in assuming the
dusky garb and enaeting the dismal roll of the
raincrow who croaks continually from the tree-tops
of ruin and disaster, with never a note of hope
and cheer for tomorrows sunshine. The W. G.
T. U. are moving bravely on, slowly but surely
gaining vantage ground, from which they are
beginning to catch faint glimpse of the goal for
which they strive. Were there no dissenters their
organization would be phenomenon. They are
nor striving for that distinction, but to overthrow
the fend intemperance, and when they have Sc
cured the ballot their mission will have been almost
accomplished

TWO WOMEN.

I know two women, and one Is chaste
And cold as the SHOWS on winter waste;
Stainless ever, In act and thought
(As man born dumb, in speech errs not,0
But she has malice toward her kind
A cruel tongue and jealous mind.
Void of pity, and full of greed,
She judges the world by her narrow creed.
brewer of quarrels, a breeder of hate,
Yet she holds the keys to "Soeetys" gate,
The other woman, with heart of flame,
Went mad for love that married her name;
Andsout.of the grave other murdered faith
She rose like soul that had passed thro' death.
Her aim is noble, her pity SO broad,
1t covers the world like the mercy of God,
A healer of discord, soother of woes,
Peace follows her footsteps wherever she goes,
The worthier life of the two no doubt;
And yet "Socety" locks her out.

energy woman had more moral force.
lie held that it was man. nature to protect and
defend by aggressive power, while it was woman's
nature to adorn, counsel and encourage. He con-
demned the heathenish practice Of denying TO
woman the right to do whatever she may be quail
fled to do, and said, in his judgment it was safe to
trust the opinion of a wife, and he declared that
only weak-minded men reject such advice.
The Doctor concluded his lecture with the as
serton that the ballot should be put in the hands
of women.
VERYmany eloquent sermons have been preached
by able divines from the we'll known text Given
as every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit, we shall
know them by their fruits. - Wherever woman
has exercised, even in the smallest degree, the
most limited sense, the elective franchise what has
been the result? Does history record that crank
atheism" or "anarchy" has followed? Let us
take the testimony of nineteen counties in the
State of Arkansas as witnessed by the Vice-Presi-
dents in their annual reports to the President of
the Alliance. In the address Of the President we
find that where local option decided the iduor
question, one hundred and fifty six saloons were
closed by the silent protest of woman. Does that
look like the work of anarchists? Does not the
city of Chicago bear record to the fact that the
headquarters of the anarchists were in saloon?
Can you pick up one daily paper that does not
record some dreadful crime committed through the
influence of the demon "Drink?" Does woman
advocate, would she vote for, the sale of intoxi-
cants?
Crank atheism!" Comforting on woman the
power to deposit slip of paper in balotbox
would be productive of atheism. For years she
been called on, nay, has been urged, to come for
ward and make known, by voting, her wishes in
church elections Has this made her an atheist?
Church history will show that woman has never
denied her "King." In her and through her the
morality of the nations has been, through Gods
fundamentally, preserved. And if in spiritual
matters she is requested to cast an intelligent VOTE
will some one kindly explain why voting in TEN.
pora affairs will make the Christian woman rank
atheist. Upon what principles are such assertions
founded?

Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-02-08

ONE OF the most noticeable features OF the address
Of the president Of the Prohibition Alliance was
the high place it accorded to woman, and the rec
ogniton it gave her as factor in the suppression
of the saloon. In the nineteen counties that re-
ported through their presidents, the statement
was made, and clearly proven, that 1856 saloons
had through the "Three-Mile law been swept out
Of existence In other words, giving to woman
even this form of the ballotha enabled her to aid
in putting just that number of dens Of iniqdity
out Of the way. Yet the ballot in the hands Of
woman would be bad thing, so asserts the Ar
kanaas Churchman

and well he might. lie knows that the
republican party destroyed "Amsriean

to make that destruction permanent. lie
knows that the tariff enacted and main.

Is only this to be said. II the repeal Of

Of temperance will be promoted. As the
president has already recommended the
measures, the christian temperance peo-

soverno, Long gave utteranee to the
wishes of many merchants and manufact.
arers that our foreign trade might be re-
rived there Is no doubt. That he likewise
voiced the sentiment Of christian temper

ioubt, but that he or they may expect |
either event to follow, is to look for wheat
where only tares have been sown.
