We have heard a great deal in the past
wear about womau's mission and wo-
mans sphere. until between two contend
inc focres we have begun TO wonder
whether woman really has any right to
exist on the earth at all. On the one
hand we have been told that she IS en-
tirelv too good for this earth, but while
watching 10 see her unfold her dowuy
wings and fly away to some spot where
political economy is unheard Of along
comes another argumentative person and
tells us that woman is such very infer
Tor creature that we look to see her swal-
lowed up Immediately in that pit whose
bottom has not yet been sounded. In
stead Of either of these things happening
woman continues 10 perform much the
same mission that has fallen to her lot
since the world began; doing it better in
some cases than others. more appreciated
sometimes than at others, but doing her
mission and developing with the race
and the world INTO new opportunities,
higher duties and greater privileges. II
is an old teaching but one which we need
constantly to recall to mind, that the one
who does that duty which is nearest al
hand is the one who accomplishes the
most for the world It is as true of classes
as il is of individuals.
