WOMEN AS GOOD AS EVER.
Merits of the Many Forgotten in
 Chronicle of Msdecds.

There seems a lamentable tendency at the present moment to depict the modern woman as a vicious, self-indul- gent, brainless sort of person, who is either a victim of vanity or possessed by the passion fer amusement Of course. there are many silly women, possibly our present mode of life en- courages an inCrdinate love or excite ment, but nc enc who is Keenly ob- servant and calm enough 70 watch the progress Of events without being in fiuenced by this scare and that crusade and the other hysterical outcry can be long in doubt as to the exaggerated view taken of feminine delinquencies and degeneracy.
 Nowadays the entire world is largely swayed by women, and no matter in what direction one looks. we general ly find that feminine influence is in some way at work Despite the lurid pictures painted by some excitable people to put the world alright. the majority of women, whether they be in society or are numbered among the great body of middle class workers. net only take a practical interest in the affairs of life. but are more at pains to grapple with questions which would have been absolute Greek and gibber- ish to their foremothers.
 It may be that foolish women drink more than is good for them; that they are careless in their friendships and conversations; that they are feverishly unrestful must also he admitted: but when We come to think of the large amount of philanthropic work done by women who are really to be numbered among the leaders of society. and of the very valuable aid they lend to their husbands in official, social and political work, we are forced to arrive at the conclusion that women are not quite so black as they are painted, and that society is not going to the dogs as fast as some would have us be- lieve.
 In all genera tions there have been discreditable members cf society. Gam bling is no new vice, nor is the disre- gard for marriage vows peculiar to the present age. Other times have had oth- CT mCrals-and the lack of them-and each new age finds new ways of defy ing propriety and ConVentionaIity; but taking us as a whole. it surely must be conceded by those who are not blinded by prejudice or eager for sensational ism that the average woman of today takes herself rather seriously and that certainly her influence is more for good than for evil
 Naturally, misdeeds, rather than sterling virtures, force themselves in- to prominence, while we hear of the women who drink, and gamble and flirt and dishonor themselves, little or nothing is said of those who pursue the even tenor of their way and really hold sway.

1t Is a striking fact that all the great
successful missions have been those In
which the missionaries have come into
closest touch with the life Of the peo-
pie and have called for the least change
in their habits Of life. except so far as
they were tinged with pagan supersti-
lions. Abbott and the Vintons among
the Karens OF Burma, Clough among
the Telugus, Patton In the New He

whom they labored and introduced

We do not think the Rev. Or. believed
