Elizabeth Cady stanton Dcnounces
the Modern Church.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nav 31.-Eizabeth Cady
Stanton bitterly arraigned the Christian
churches for their treatment of women
in a paper read al the opening session
of the National Woman's Suffrage AS
sociation yesterday afternoon at the
First Baptist church. The greatest
block today in the way of woman,s $
emancipation she declared, "is the
church. the canon law. the Bible and
the priesthood She demands that an
expurgated Bible be read in the church
es and declares that such parallels as
refer to woman as '.the author of sin, :"
Ian inferior. "a subject" "a weaker
vessel" should be relegated to the an
cient mythologies as mere allegories,
having no application whatever to wom-
en- of this generation.
The paper, or address, was read by
Miss Susan B. Anthony. Mrs. Stanton
and Miss Anthony are honorary pres-
dents of the association. The title of
Mrs. tSanton's paper was THE Duty of
the Church to Woman at This Hour"
In addition to the sensational senten-
ees given above she declares.
Woman today, as ever. supplies the
enthusiasm that sustains the church,
and she has right to ask in turn that
the church sustain her in this struggle
for liberty. 1t matters little that here
and there some clergyman advocates
our cause on the platform SO long as no
sectarian organization has yet recog-
nized our demand as principle of JUS
tice and the debate is rarely opened in
their councils.
