Rev. James II. Holmes, who for about

THE ARGUMENT OF CRITICS.

Briefly, then, it is urged by critics:
First-rhat Massachusetts, and the
Woman's Era Club are to be coudemr-
ed for attempting 20 force the color
question upon the Biennial, whe n
least prepared for it.
Second-Fhae the action o. the Pres
ident OF the Federation, Mrs. Lowe
in admitting the Woman's Era Club
was never ratified BIZ the Board. there
fore the Boards action was perfectly
legal.
fbird-That Mrs. Ruffia should have
accepted compromise, should have
bsen willing to forego the privilege Of
representing the club which she was
president and enter the Convention az
delegate from Massachusetts, which
privil &c was offer her.
F1urth-That colored women sbould
cIntine themselves to their own clubs
and the large field OF work open to
them there.
We think it best to answer these
points by brief and general state
ment OF the career OF our club and the
events Immediately leading to its en-
trance into the General Federation.
TIE PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION.
The Woman's Era Club was organ.
lied in the interest OF the advance.
ment OF women generally, the ad-
vancement Of colored women particr-
lsrly; the club ente red upon its WORK
with those aims and views supposed to

deepening of woman's sphere and op-
portunities, the sphere of moral and
aesthetic influence, the general uplift.
ing Of humanity.
There never was or could be anv
caste or racial line drawn by the club.
that should go without saying: its
members had learned through bitter
experience, the unwisdom, the unmor-
ality OF caste spirit in organizations
formed on altruistic lines.
In allying itself with the general
moveme MT for women, the club has
sought to elevate itself by taking ad-
vantage OF every opportunity possible
to help or to be helped. It sought co
