The admission Of women into the the
illogical seminary and the pulpit has be-
come so common fact as 10 no longer
excite notice. Such Of them as Rev
Phebe G. Hanaford, Anna Howard
Shaw. Ada G. Bowles and Ida q. Hull
tin have made national reputation for
eloquence, scholarship and evangelical
ability. Nearly all Of them have been
more than successful in the sacred call
ing. Not one has ever spotted the white
robe Of her calling. Rev. Ada Bowles
has studied the subject carefully and
gives the following interesting statistics
as to the number Of women ministers.
Among the Friends there are $50; the
Universalists. 54; the Free Baptists, "a
(estimatedl; the Disciples, 3; Congre-
gationalists. 90; Unitarians, "a; Protes-
tant Methodists. 2; Jewish. /, making
q total OF 5l3.
This does not include so Of the
smaller sectAand denominations. Mel
Their does il include regular missionaries,
home and foreign, nor the evangelists
and organizers Of organizations like the
Woman's Christian Temperance union.
These have been estimated at 300. 800
and 400 The grand total exceeds 500,
which is n very fattering number for Q
profession which amounted to almost
nothing in the memory Of many whC
read these lines. DIR. Bowles calls atten

death his wife was to be allowed to take
his place if she proved competent. About
a year ago Mr.. Getz died. The widow
took up his work and thereby supported
her two young children. But she was
remarkably successful, and the men in
the same business complained that they
could not compete with her. They en-
treated Hirshberg 81 Bro. TO dismiss
her in vain. Then they laid their COM
plant before the board Of fire under
writers. The board took their part.
Hirshberg & Bro. asked that Mrs.
Getz be either admitted to the board as

resolution that its membership consisted
only of men and voted to expel the firm
