Women, Natural and Artificial.
Rev. J. 6. Thomson, at Unity
church yesterday morning. based bis
sermon on passages selected from Gone
sis. Romans, Ephesians, First Timothy
and First Peter. The central idea OF his
discourse was Woman's Place in Nature
and in Society, According to Moses, Paul
and Peter.
There are two distinct accounts OF
woman's origin" said he, Sin the fret
and second chapters of Genesis. The
EIohistic account is found IN the first
chapter. and it represents that man and
woman were created at the same time,
and that they were equal and united in
power and authority. In the second
chapter. which contains the Jehovis.

woman, and he lives and does some
very important work. before she 10

her superior in physical powers.
The physical difference between them

that 1t is beautiful objsct and that it

her name on it's portals. Paul's
statements regarding woman's nature
and work are strong and clear. The
! husband is the head OF the wife.
Woman must not teach. She must
learn in silence from her husband. She
mnst not usurp authority over her hus-
band. She must obey in all things.
Paul certainly would not be warmly
welcomed in clubs and conventions Of

men, and who love their morbid notions,
