Shocked the Good ndies

Some of the good ladies of Paris
who went to the county jail Sun
daymorning to hold services among
the prisoners received an unex.
pected setback. Among the priso-
ners is negro preacher who has
been adjudged insane. When the
women began the service and had
sung a few hymns and offered
prayer, the colored divine began
preaching sermon in which he
quoted passages of scripture which
declare that it is shame for wom-
en- to speak in public and which
enjoin them to keep silent He re-
ferred to the story of creation
which lays the blame on woman
for bringing sin into the world
and quoted passages of scripture
to show that woman was created
for the ediiication of man and not
for the glory of God The women
retired abashed and held their ser.
vice in another quarter of the Jail.
