take note that another far-reachiDg and

much more defensible auch action upon
the part Of the M. p. A. than upon that

all religious sects might become merged
into one--in time. But look you at the
insuperable barriers that nature has set
up against the perfect mergement OF the
sexes. When q woman dons cap, puts

Catholics may become PrOtestante

lies one great danger. Women are so
becoming. They are becoming edr.

We must boycott the women
