the city to-day. These gentlemen are
largely interested in the ownership of

The Woman Preachers.
IN FIFTY YEARS FROM NOW SHE WILL BE
AT HOME IN THE PULPIT.

There seems to be no objection
whatever to woman taking control of
Sunday schools, benevolent institu
tons, church fairs, festivals and all
other means Of caring for the focks
and filling the ecclesiastical exchequer,
but when it comes to woman in the
pulpit there is trouble at once. This
is only another of the relics of
barbarism.
In old times if the church could
get control of the women and little
children they felt pretty sure of their
ability to manage the rest of the hu-
man family.
Half century ago woman
doctor was scarcely recognized in
reputable circles, and woman lect-
urer was monstrosity Contrasting
that date with the present and taking
note of the change in sentiment from
one decade to another, it is scarcely
too much to expect that by another
fifty years we shall see most wonder
full revolution in matters of this sort.
1t is safe to predict that, before the
end of the first decade of the next
century, the woman preachers will be
no more of novelty than woman
doctor now is. Woman is specially
fitted for such work, and even were
she not so, It would be only the
strictest kind Of justice to give her
some of the honor as we'll as most OF
the hard work Of the church. When
once it dawns fully upon the minds
of the people of this generation that
there is no sex in intellect or moral
achievement, the first and most
difficult part of this knotty problem
will have been solved.
By all means, open the pulpit doors
to woman as we'll as those of the Sun
day school room, the hospital and the
executive committee.-New York
