the church the tool Of tyranny and the

WOMEN IN THE CHURCH.
DR.. HemphiIl Tells of Their Good
Work and Influence.

The tenth and concluding sermon of Rev.
DR.. Hemphill's course for young people
was preached by the reverend gentleman
last night before large and closely atten-
tive congregation.
The subject OF the discourse was MARY
at the Sepulcher. or Woman's Sphere In
the Church." and the speaker came out
strongly in favor of women preaching
Chrlst at home and abroad. whenever and
wherever God called upon them so to do.
The text was John Xxx, from the fifteenth
verse, and the story of Mary Magdalen's
meeting with Jesus after his resurrection
was told at length.
MARY standing without the sepulcber
weeping is type Of womanhood wherever
the gospel of Christ has not yet come and
redeemed her." said the preacher. .The
religion of our Savior has wonderfully up
lifted women. Although In the Old Testa-

we learn that through a woman Christ
himself was given 10 us. The gospei Oh
the son of God begins with the consecra-
tion of woman. Woman was last at the
cross and sepulcher and first at the resur-
rection. In all church work woman Is al
ways foremost. and the phrase, 'Woman's
sphere in the church. is misleading since
woman is the church nearly all the world
over. Women carry on our missionary So
ceties. attend our meetings in fair weather
or foul and do at least five-siXths OF all
the work of our churches. Men stand
back and let them do it and then taik

to speak therein.
God has given women an influence
which can accomplish much more than
men can in certain lines. women snOuid

their neighbor's houses, and when Christ
says TO a woman, thou shalt testiiy LOT me

higher place than ever before. and the ser

women 10 embrace the religion OF Christ

and prayerfully to the end.
After concluding his sermon DR.. Hemp

terest that they have manifested iE his
young peoples course. and stated that he
has another course in contemplation, to
begin with the new year.
