Woman in Reform
The afternoon session was in charge OF
the women, and 1t proved to be one Of the
brightest and most entertaining sessions Of
the meeting. the subjects treated by the
ladies being handled in a mastery man
ner.
woman in Reform" was the subject OF
Mrs. Robert A. Bulla's address, a few ex-
tracts Of which are here reproduced: The
object Of all reform Is to mako good that
which Is bad. IT means in Its broadcast
sense the regulations Of the world. The
evils OF life are the fruits OF seeds: some
In ignorance. in idleness in hate. Their
cure must therefor be radical.
Organizations and laws have failed.
Their failure is because they have not
sought the root Of the evil. Men look to
God to cure our Ills. Women are fitted for
ance Of children. All reform work aside
from child training is Insignificant. Day
nurseries, kindergartens, manual training
schools, orphans homes are reaching out
helping hands to the little ones. Women
are in reform to stay until they have
taught the state that It is better to spend
money to care for innocent children, until
The public schools train youth for citizen
ship. until ignorance and idieness ana hate
are destroyed"
Woman in the Church
woman in the Church. was the subject
Of the paper read by Mrs. e. q. Spalding
Of Pasadena. THE church is one OF our
Oldest institutions From the birth of
Christianity woman has been one Of its
prominent factors At times 1t seems to
have puzzled the fathers JUST what place
to assign her. But there she has been,
there she is. What is her work today?
What can she accomplish? She Is found to
be quick to represent the spiritual teach
ings Of the church. The make-up and
trend of her thoughts enable her to grasp
and adopt methods with which she is in
sympathy. Her loyalty to acknowledged
duties comlpels her to become willing
worker in the field OF church work.
1.-The Holy Writ gives examples of
prophetesses: But when the Scriptures
were expounded by the fathers their YER
sion of Paurs words regarding the silence
| Of women In the churches took such deep
root that the church still suffers from It.
| In the words of another: That women have
an important part in the planting and early
growth of the Christian church needs no
argument That the plain teaching of
Paul should have been so perverted as to
mean that their exclusion from the office
of public teaching is to be explained only
| by thA fact Of departure from the meth
dds of the primitive church through a
purely masculine Interpretation and appli-
cation of regulations (Which regulations)
although entirely adapted to the' age, and
country in which uttered, were never In
tended to be prohibitive Of woman's teach
ing in that or any later period
Women as Managers
Mrs. F. A. Gibson In her paper was very
happy In presenting her ideas. Her theme
which was very ably presented. embraced
| wide field and covered multitude Of
propositions. in which we are all-men and
women-interested. Her remarks In brief
may be summarized as follows: She said
| that when they learn to perform faithfully
| the work OF their homes and the rearing OF
| their children and use Judgment and in
dependence in money matters, the state
will mot i1er as we'll as father their state In
stitutions.
