DR.. Hallmnn in Charlotte.

Rev. DR.. Hallman, editor of the Lu-
theran Visitor, was in Charlotte two
weeks ago and lectured at Elizabeth
College.
The lecture was delivered without
manuscripts, IN fact, was an cXtempo-
rnncous effort, nothing having been
premeditat.d except the headings.
The sixth lecture of Il series being
delivered before the students of Eliza
beth College, was delivered Monday
evening by Rev. S. II. Hallman, d. D.,
of Prosperity, S. g., editor of the Lu-
theran Visitor.
After expressing his qualification on
hndin% the building SO fine, large and
modern. congratulating the faculty
and students and thanking the presi
dent and college, community for the
courtesics and hospitality shown him,
he proceeded to discuss his subject
"Ihe Importance. and Necessity of
Higher Female Education"
l. Ours is great agc-an age eluca-
tionally great.
We love to fancy that ours is the
golden age. The twentieth will no
doubt be the greatest century of the
worlds history. Progress in every de-
partment of human development has
been marvelously great. The world
today would be Il revelation of wonders
to the man who lived hundred years
ago. Our educational advantages are
so great that children at ten know more
than those OF forty years ago knew at
fifteen.
2. The intellectually of woman com
pures with that OF man.
In fitness OF faculty, mental and spir-
ltunl, woman Is mans superior. The
world has at last acknowledged this
and woman has won her proper posi-
tlon. Today women are coming to the
front. They arc no longer mental
slaves, doomed to domestic drudgery.
They arc making themselves sslf-sup-
porting, self-prescrving I am an ad-
vocatc OF marriage, but unless the Of
fered hand be tha. Of g nan of worth,
character and congeniality, remain
single forever. BE one of Gods angels
on earth. despjs., hate the word
"old maid" If a woman chooses to
live single let her do SO. Many, many
OF these arc Gods angels, doing the
sweetest, best service TO mankind. The
beautiful consecrated lives of Misses
Havergal, Barton, and Willard were
dwclt upon as examples of the noblest
womanhood. These won the homage
and gratitude of the worlds best intel
lcct.
3. The responsibility of woman will
be greater III the future than ever be-
fore.
In the moulding, forming and relin-
ing OF society, woman is the greatest
force. The education of the future will
be in her hands more largely than that
| of the past has been. The conditions
! OF society are changing.
q. TO meet these demands women
must be educated.
Inc noble women mentioned could
| not have filled the high mission thcy
did had they not been educated. II. c
