Jennie sighed for. She was looking
for an armored knight to come along
on prancing coal black steed and kill
three or four villains and bear her of
on his saddle. Zeb had no armOr, no
coal black steed, no desire to kill. He
was simply out OF 1t.
He sat on the stump and thought
hard. but no consolation came TO him.
The best thing he could get out OF 1t
was a grave under n willow tree, a
grave over which Jennie might come
and weep when tired Of waiting for her
knight.
"Yes. 1t shall be DEATH" said Zeb as
he rosa from the stump. "I'm lop

ihere. amid the songs of birds and the

Are there amy Women i'm Heaven <?

woman goes to heaven just as man
does-that is, as a perfected whole
the complete EGO"
Huxley and other scientists have
proved conclusive1y that the human
has not always been differentiated by
sex-that there we're not always male
and female.
May not what is true of matter be
equally true of spirit and soul? As
Guy de Maupassant says, it is mans
awful isolation which is the tragedy Of
his life-the hidden cause of all his
sorrow-ever and always the human
walks alone. He or she vainly at.
tempts in love to escape this awful
isolation of the soul. He or she strives
to 1t. but they fail. May they not,
possibly. find in death what they nave
been seeking in life, the complement
OF each others souls. and may such a
soul not enter heaven upchallenged?
Such is apparently, in my mind, the
only way by which a woman can enter
the kingdom Of heaven.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1902-06-08

still more by asking a second question.
Are they annihilated?'
We may choose one of three alter.
natives: First, that no women reach
heaven, and are, therefore, annihilated
or go to some place of which the BiDie
makes no mention; second, that WON
en- reach heaven, but, in common with
men, become sexless, and there Is
henceforth no distinction between
them; third. that women reach heaven
and become males.
The first proposition-that of com.
plete annifflation-is too forbidding TO
be entertained. OF the second alterna.
tive Il may be said that the invariable
reference to all such inhabitants as
masculine renders it extremely i'm
probable that those inhabitants are
seXless.
There is, apparently, nothing left
which is at all tenabIe. save the third
contention. viz. that women, upon
reaching heaven, become males. Tt
prove which Mr.. Kinsman quotes Je

a man was chosen.
So. too, we find 1t in the case Of an.
gels. There are Gabriel and Michael,
but in all the named heavenly host
there appears not one feminine name.
In this connection II is interesting to
note that in each case where a FRO.
noun Is used in reference 10 an angel
masculine forms are Invariably found.
Mr. Kinsman also POINTS out the fact
that all the evil spirits mentioned in
holy writ have masculine names, in.
Guiding Mephistopheles himself. This
may be most readily tested in the book
Of Revelation. In the New Testament
a man is said after death to be gather.
ed unto his fathers. not unto his moth.

After thus proving conclusively to
his own mind that there are no women
in either heaven or hell. Mr.. Kinsman
asks the rather naive, not to say start
ling question. What does become OF

Mr. A. d. Kinsman, Bible student
Of Erie. Pa, raises, not for the first
time the interesting question, Are
there any females in heayen?" He has
gone a step further and has proven to
his own satisfaction, at least, that
there are no women up there MIR.
Knsman holsters his theory with the
strongest Biblical evidence.
Strange as 1t may seem, it will be
readily admitted that there is not the
slightest evidence in the Bible that fe.
males of any sort are among the in.
habitants of heaven. We know that
the members Of the Trinity are always
spoken of as men and the disciples Of
Jesus were all men. In both the Old
and the New Testaments. when occa.

For those who find pleasure in ment'

most plausible theory. as well as the
least repelIant one. 1t is a theory
which merges the mysteries Of love
and life into those of death and the
resurrection. Most people, sometimes

The next morning the old man told
Billy he could stop and 90 to sleep.

he was nearly starved. anu when he
got through with that bowl he asked
for another. The old man told him
TO go to sleep and he would forget all
about being hungry.
Billy was awfully tired and slept all
day. The old man awakened him car.
ly in the evening, and after giving
him another skinny bowl Of porridgo.
ordered Billy to get to work.
Billy polished away for a couple Of
hours when he noticed the old mans
back was turned. This gave Billy a
chance to look around. Everything
looked familiar to him. There were
the twin lights of Navesink on the
left, and on the right he could see the
long row of lights running from the

man eyed him closely for a moment
and then walked up to him and asked

said yes"

said 1t was.
