The New WON an.

Is the topic assigned me by my CO.
editors. What is she? 1t depends.
There is new woman portrayed by the
public press; a sort of monstrosity aping
mans manners and man vices; striv-
lng chiefly for notoriety, and thrusting
herself forward into every position.
She is a caricature of the modern
woman, drawn by the small stupid wit
of the masculine press and as false and
untrue to the ideals of the New Woman
as it is disgusting to the sensible woman
of today.
There is another New Woman. The
product of evolution, wrought out by
the changing forces in domestic and
social life. AS modern inventions took
from her control the industries that
have hitherto occupied all her thought
and time, she was forced into new fields
of activity. The civil war was large
factor in determining the direction Of
her energies. The decrease o. the male
population and the hard times engend-
cred by war, forced woman to take her
place at the front, in field and shop. 1t
was not a question of choice, but Of
bread and butter. In this larger world
of thought and activity, her education
broadened, her mental horizon ex-
banded, and without at all intending it,
the woman of today finds herself new
creation in new world, with new
thoughts and new aims, and striving
after ideals wholly different from her
grandmother. One writer defines her
as woman come to self consciousness.
The consciousness Of powers and posi-
bilties which change the whole attitude
of her previous thought and aim. Is
it to be wondered at that the sudden
awakening carries with it an intoxicat.
ing sense of freedom and of power that
is to the conservative mind, fraught
with great danger to our social struct.
ure? The wonder is only that she faces
the situation as we'll as she does. Could
men do betterS

lower room CT Odd Fellows Hall. Rev,
Whittingham became much interested in
this parish, tut was called by the bishop to
another point, and for want Of clergyman,
there was pause III the services again, but
the sunday school continued. In the fall of
1890, Rev. Whittiugham was returned to
Catoctin parish, and took up his residence
in Thurmont. He decided the first step was
to secure u building, however small, for
themselves. BY the liberalIty and devotion
of his members. together with the aid If
Episcopal friends outside of this parish,
means were gathered, lot secured on f.
Main street, and in Maj CHI, 1901, the building
was started and before fall, St. Stephens
chapel was ready for use. Rev, Whiting.
ham was AGAIN called away and Rev. w. G.
Loop took charge until 1894, when Rev.
Nottingham returned al rector of Catoctin
parish and is yet in charge. The outlook
for the future is promising. A Sanctuary
Guild and Sunday School under the rector
the latter still having Mr. Chas. Waters as
superintendent, and bible and church his
tory class taught by Miss Phoebe Staff are
the only parochial organizations.
III giving a sketch of this the eighth and
last of the churches, 1t ia necessary to 60
back to the eighteenth century for data. In
1857, one Daniel LeatheIman, elder in the
German Baptist Brethren church. moved
from Lancaster county, Pa. to Frederick
county, Md, and settled in Middletown val
ley. His grandson, Jacob Leatherinan, be.
come the pioneer preacher of their faith in
that section. Contemporancous with him
was elder Daniel Saylor whose father moved
from Lancaster county also, and settled at
Beaver DAM in 1772. Elder Saylor become
prominent man in the church at this point
These two ministers made Visionary tours
through the county and were the first &c
preach their doctrine in Mechanlcstown
Services were held in private homes. some
times in school houses, and in the early days
of the United Brethren (Weller) church they
held an interest in that building and occu
pied its pulpit alternately. Later on they
purchased the stone school house and used
it for worship until March, 1892, when it was
torn down and neat, substantial church
building was erected opposite its site on
Altamont Ave. Descendants ofeloer l.ea'h
erman are yet In the ministry and there has
been an almost uninterrupted line Of preach!
ers from the Savior family, bearing the name
of Daniel, all Of whom have served here
The founder of this church, Daniel Il. Say.
lor, is the first resident minister. He has IN
possession bible of German print 1876 years
old. 1t is an heirloom following the name
of Daniel.
Eight churches in community of abou,
eleven hundred population is rather in ex
cess, but all are self sustaining and free Of
debt.
