the earth, so neither is the ~
without the man, nor the man -
the woman. Each is MANNED
from the othe.n. Both stand
side on n level before God .r!
germ OF the most advanced dest~fs-.
of the relatives of sexes is his
here"
Let us look further at this wort
creation !. Adam was first for7lad "a
then Eve. Some people seem m -
that because man was created no..
woman, n because man is str..5
physically. that thereby may was p
superiority, but the same reas.
might apply to the horse, or any 80
animal. The horse was created ta.4-s
man and the horse is stronger
man physically. Let us examra h.
record. And the Lord God plane
garden eastward in Eden, and The
put the mar whom he had fer~.a5
And the Lord God said 1t Is not "a
that the man should be alone. wifi
make him an helpmate for hin.
1t would be well for us to reme.#a a,
the injunction which comes ii. r..
through this decision Of God in resi-
TO man. 1T is not good that tn nan
should be alone Let us make for 3 N
an helpmate { OF suitable help.l Uss.
it not seem strange that man SEES H.
necessity of this suitable help in era-g.
thing except in politics? and thar
the very place where man makes mora
mistakes than anywhere else. God af5
not intend that man should stand alg1a
in politics, or stand alone anywhere
else. Mar standing alone is not a 3Hft
approaching perfection, but man and
woman standing together is a uni an.
preaching perfection by which to meas.
ure and obtain the best results in Do#f.
tics and elsewhere. as God has said Il
is not good that the man should ia
alone.
Eden was a field, and man signed
until woman smiled"
And the Lord God caused a deem
sleep to fall upon Adam, and he sen,
and he took n of his ribs, and closed
up the flesh instead thereof"
And the rib which the Lord God had
taken from man. made he a woman. and
brought her unto the man" Then We
suppose that Adam Weakened I'D. as A
man generally does when a woman
comes around. Let us notice in the
formation of woman that she was not
taken from mans head to rule over
him, nor was she taken from mans
feet to be trampled upon; but that Sac
was taken from mans side. and taac
probably the nearest TO mans heart,
showing that she was TO be equal 10
man and enjoy his highest regard.
There are some OF US, if we had not
been taught to believe that Gods Werd
Is insallible, might be disposed to be-
lieve that this account Of the f0rma-
ton of woman from Adams rib was a
mistake. There are some Of US that
are disposed to believe that woman was
| taken from mans backbone instead 9f
his side, and that a%ccoun for the rpa-
son why man has limited backbone
power, especially on moral questions,
questions where united EFFORT is needed
in the suppression of vice and immora.-
ity. Civil law, if not backed up by the
moral law, controlling the actions Of
men, remains a dead letter on Our stat
ute books. Our laws are good, but
where is the moral power to enforce
them; woman is that moral force. Wo-
man is that suitable help which 49,
needs at all times. But man sinned, the
fail came and death was the penalty Of
sin. The stay OF our first parents in
that first paradise was probably short.
they were driven out, And all the
formations of the earth are out or
course" Man who was created upright
has sought out many inventions But
God, who is rich in mercy, has provided
a plan of salvation. He gave His son
to restore the foundations and enable
us to regain that paradise and that hap
piness which we lost, and in Him. az
Watts has said. The IONS of Adam ooast
more blessings than their father lost.
The Christian religion is the only t.
ligion that has elevated woman and ac-
corded her her rights. CAL other sys-
TENS of religion and philosophy nave
promoted caste, have kept woman n
ignorance and have doomed woman %
| unpitied drudgery and toll; II was 81
among the ancient Greeks and Romans,
it is so among the Indians on this cohb-
nent; it is so in China to-day, Whsi'
woman is not regarded as having d
soul" When a people forsake 0o@'
then tyrants forge their chains, ana uA-
scrupulous d~emagogues, aFpealihs "
the prejudices and passions OF men,
create anarchy and bring distress hu'
with Christ restoring the foundations
and the applications of the golden RUE
as laid down in the New Testament
do unto others as you would Aays
others do unto you" we look for that
restoration of civil liberty to all peo1I
pie and accorded her equal

man. which God gave her when she was
| created. That is her unalienable right
