asserted that those whom have the honor,

an emphasis which cannot be surpassed,

Not opposed to International Agreement.


Concluding with reference to interna-
tional bimetallism. Mr.. Bryan said: We
are not opposed to an international agree

The light lay on the gates. the Hight
Sent from no moon nor any star,
And in the radiance strange blooms wild
and white,
White as the mists OF morning are
Smitten by sun and storm and shower,
Climbed, ever climbed, a living tower,
Where the life shook IN spray and spire,
With hidden depths half orbed in dew.
With garlands. an Numerous crew,
Swinging in splendid leaf and br1er,
And the high heaven stopped in sad de-
And far the fragrance streamed. and far
the fire.
But heavily the midnight gloomed
Beyond, Ger all things dear and sweet,
Where the hushed cedars in the ulster
And cast the darkness at their feet
IIoomed in the surge OF hoary flame
The archangel, burning in vast shame.
Shed on the broad and blenching skies.
Shed moveless from his sword whose

barred
Or from insufferable eyes
For. in the shadow where all shadow dies.
Black, black behind the gates lay Paradise.
And as they went they two alone.
They two. awav from Paradise,
One smiled upon them from happier
vaporons and biushing. and from eyes
Violets with Hesper in their dew,
And murmured, Tho the gates for you
No more uncIose, oh, wherefore go
So far? For underneath these walls
Once, only once, when Young Love calls,
With music winding wide and low,
they who come after you shall surely
know
How sweet the winds of Paradise do
blow
Then as their steps stayed at the sigh
OF low boughs dropping in a wood.
With wings that touched the earth and
touched the sky.
They knew still dim angel stood.

Enter the Eden here he said.
'Where unforgotten odors creep
The rivers out of Eden fall,
The rose-leaves drift across the wall,
And breathed from ivory flutes shall

Soft measures round you lying dark and
deep
Folded within the Paradise OF Sleep"

two sons might have the best places IN the
Kingdom. She wanted them 10 be prime

OF war, or something Of that sort Then
there was Dorcas. full OF good deeds, Tor
whom everybody wept when she died. and
the honorable women not few to
whom Paul refers.
The promise Of God IS clear and distinct:
ION my handmai6ens viii / pour out my
spirit, and they shall prophecy. There IS
nothing IN the Gospel that places any lin
itations TO the rights and duties OF women
We hear Paul quoted forever and forever
in regard 10 women keeping silence in the
churches; but We do not hear that Paul
was addressing himself 10 Grecian assem-
blies, and the Greek idea OF womens
sphere was that she should not rise above
the level of domestic knowledge. She
could not go to the door 70 welcome her
husband home, lest some one should see
her. A virtuous woman in Greece was an
ignorant, domestic drudge. Those who
were enlightened were supposed to be OF
questionable repute. I wish PauPs COM
mands in regard 10 women could be ex-
planned, when quoted so glibly. II Paul
had only known how stupid people would
misinterpret his words he would have said
plainly: 1T is not best for women TO teach,
here in Greece"
So I say again, the old Bible. justly In
terpreted, is good enough for me. Human
life and experience is the best common
tary on the Bible. Do Gods will and the
doctrine VIII be clear. The letter kills, the
spirit gives life. 1t is the spirit and not
the letter that makes the Bible so valu-
able Whoever would criticise the Bible
must be spiritual, for spiritual things are
spiritually discerned. Finally, the Bible Is
not alone in the predominance which IL
gives TO the masculine element. Preach
ers, writer's. lecturers, invariably use the
masculine pronoun-speak OF him and
say "he" II IS but an emblem OF history.

corrected through and through. the "re-
