let US make rapid survey of the
stages through which this and all such
movements must inevitably pass.
There is, first, the stage of physical

Here the man lords it over the woman;
and physical force rules the world
Next comes the second stage, wherein

made man "an helpmeet for him.
thirdly, it well may happen that with
the triumph of the intellectual, moral
and spiritual forces over the physical,
woman becomes the superior; and, as
she once, according to the ancient
legend, became a factor in mans I'M

DOMINATION AND SUBJECTION.
One word more, beloved. as to this
matter of domination and subsection
in general: Eye know that they which
are accounted to rule over the Gem
tiles exercise lordship over them; and
their great ones exercise authority
upon them. But so, it shall not be
among you; but whatsoever will be
great among you, shall be your min

matter of that-can only be identical
with the rights OF our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ. For even the
Son of Man came not to be rniniStered

Lord, who dwells in safety by Him,
eternal Christ-child, to whom we are
all related, For unto US child is
