WHAT A SOLDIER SAYS.

The Tagal press of this country

viewed who will give expressions
thatcan beused to advantage against
the government. 1t il the aim of
these low down and disreputable
papers to disseminate false ideas as
regards the actual situation on the
islands. They would have you be-
lieve that all of the natives, from
1000. 900 to 10000. 600. were in rebel
lion aud that they must be subju-
gated before peace can be restored to
the islands. Such IL not the case,
however. The uprising iscontined to

The tradition that IL one does not wish
TO marry one must become what used to be
known as an old maid. is now quite OBJ
sOlete A woman in her thirties. whether
married or single, is at her prime. and no
one knows 81 better than she does. Her
age is a distinct gain, not boss; an asset,
not deficit She Is quite conscious Of the
advantage and is on the whole, rather
proud than otherwise OF her experience.
There IS something really humorous
about the report of the Committee ap-
pointed TO define woman's position in the

the Presbyterian Synod of Virginia tho
other day The dignifled members of the
committee do not approve of "woman'5
rights They ind that by divine inter-
probation" woman's position is subor1l-
nate and they set about defining her po-
sltiOn. Home is woman's sphere; she is
to be a meek and quiet resident therein,
and she Is NOT to lift up her voice In the
church except passively, though she
may sing in Sunday School and church
societies" That's the substance of 1t.
Dear, dear and tOhse respected gentlemen
discussed this cast subject pro and conf
II did not occur to them that If this is
the divine decree. a similar decision by
the lower courts is somewhat unnecessary.
If woman goes on faithfully with her matt
ural duties, as the increasing popula ton
of tho world shows she has been and is
doing. she Will be quite subordinate
enough. and too much meekness with a
houseful Of children would not make for
peaceful homes Even the members of
the committee would admit that on second
own labors to a large performance OF
home duties.
Then in the churches woman Is not TO ba
allowed to eXhort or preach, but her po~
sltion must be passive. The exhortng
is not all the work of the church, and IL
Is well known that 1t Is The women who
do the greater part Of the work of the
churches. Then that slngingi That's
