TIE new REBEEAH Law.

We find the following good thing on
the New Rebekah law, by a P. q. NJ, in
the Bundle OF Sticks, and we take pleas
ure in giving OUR Rebekah readers the
benefit OF it:
l have been amused (not startled), at
the predictions of dire disaster not
only to the Rebekah Degree but the
whole order, if this law is not at once
repealed. They were freely made when
Colfax got the degree first accepted, and
each step taken to advance it has been
saluted with the same chorus of cries.
Certain ruin was loudly predicted at the
passage of the law to charter Rebekah
| Lodges. to admit sisters of Odd Eel
lows, etc., etc. lengthy petitions are
sent to Grand Lodges asking them to
instruct Grand Representatives to vote
for repeal of the law, and it is said by
some that the members of Rebekah
Lodges are almost unanimous in oppo-
sition to admitting any but relatives OF
Odd Fellows to our order. Those who
| oppose this Legislation fail to even try
to answer the questions why a woman
cannot be just as valuable "a member of
our order if she has not u husband,
father, or brother who are members;
why a woman can be any better wife,
daughter, OF sister, because of her rela-
tions with those men who are members?
1 have been in favor of it for five years.
The doors of our order should not be
closed to any worthy m If the
law stands, the investigating committee
of Rebekah Lodges will have to do
something more than to take it for
granted that Mrs. A. must be all right,
because Bro. A. is such a good member.
Let these committees be AZ particular in
their inquiries as the Subordinate Lodges
are, and then admit, and welcome, any
woman against whose character, and
health, the committee can find nothing.
| have no idea this law will be repealed.
The Rebekah Degree from the first has
always advanced and never gone back
ward. Women are assuming too much
their proper positions as workers in all
things for the advancement of every
good cause, for one great order to say,
You can only get into u heaven by
c~linging to the coat-tails of a man."

An UNFAIR COMPARISON.

People sometimes complain about the
difference in prices between the home
paper and the big blanket sheet city
papers. They forget that the city paper
gets cash in advance, while it is occa-
s~ionally worth two-thirds of the country
publishers price to collect his money.
But to treat the matter seriously, they
compare the amount of reading matter
furnished by the city paper with the
smaller home publication, and then size
up the prices, to the apparent ~disadvan-
tage of the home institution. There are
several reasons why there is no fairness
in such comparisons. The circumstances
of the two do not correspond.
The home paper tells what concerns
the home public. 1t tells of the things
that make the locality Of the prospects,
plans or developments that mean money
to the home readers. 1t tells of home
progress, OF people the readers knows,
and the news of every kind in which he
is directly concerned, so far as comes to
the editors knowledge. It covers a field
which the city paper cannot touch, and
would not pay any attention To.
The city weekly in its way is valuable,
and everybody who does not take a daily
should take a good weekly in addition to
the home paper. 1t gives miscellaneous
reading and information which the other
is not position to furnish. But it takes
no interest in It's individual readers, ex-
cept to get their subscription. Their
comings and goings, deaths, births, mar
riages and home happenings, social af-
fairs, local enterprises, etc., are not
within its province at all.
The farmer who complains about the
price of his home paper often pays for it
in produce which would not bring, in q
city market, the price Of a city weekly.
He gets all the accommodation from the
home printer that he asks in reason,
while he pays the big paper the cash in
advance.
The home man advocates all measures
which he considers best for the interests
of the town and county in which he
lives. He works harder than the unini-

There is a good deal of bosh published

lated at its proper value to the commu-
lity, and that he usually does a great
leal more work than he is paid for.

ST pAIJ, NIISJUDGED

Happily Il difficulty which has afillct-
ed the church for several centuries
will soon end. if the emendation of the
Grek text made by Il patient inyeSti-
gator be universally accepted. st.
Iaul has always been regarded as the
ldetel'mined foe of all women preach
elS. married or Spinster. and many
ladies' have felt very grievously this
slur on their status in the Christian
community. and even run the risk of
creating schism by preaching in de-
iiancc of the alleged apostolic COM
mand.
But the cruX is now solved. The in
vestigator referred to holds that the
Greek word "gyne.' which st. Paul
uses, does not mean in that particular
'. text women generally. but married
women" whose husbands are alive.
Some critics are capable of suggesting
that the only Importance of the new

husband. by showing that she is really

new contention . therefore. is that st.

married women cease to preach but as
far as maidens. spinSters. and even
widows are concerned. they may dis
course as much they please without
breaking any law of the churches or

may be interesting TO note that in Am

with amazing rapidity. and promise
