Church Work and the Busy Woman.
What will become of church work
when women become too busy to do it ?
This question has not yet come largely
to the front, but it certainly will in
time If things go on at their present
pace. Men have long ago ceased to be
able to attend to church work, except
when they are regularly salaried to do
it, or when zeal and leisure coexist
The church has looked to women for
the unsalaried work that needs doing;
and the women, glad of an outlet for
their energies, have willingly given
their best thought and their spare time
to Sunday school teaching, missionary
meetings, the making Of altar-cloths
and vestments, and the conduct of
fairs, festivals, church suppers and SO
on. In the last generation the busiest
women in each town We're always to
be found foremost in the churches. The
women of 40 and over are still to-day
In church work. But how about the
young and busy women!
The Sunday schools begin to notice
that she does not offer to teach. She
is as tired, after her weeks work, as q
man, and needs rest on Sunday She
has no free weekday afternoons in
which to attend missionary meetings.
She is making her living. or else she
has clubs and courses Of reading to at
tend, or is heart and soul at work In a
college settlement. In the church,
moreover, she must work under the
authority and supervision of the cler-
gy; whereas on hospital boards or in
charitable organizations she has all the
authority and all the recognition. Nat
urally, She grows to prefer the latter

usually and superior women have been
the strength of church guilds and
meetings hitherto. The church cannot
afford to depend only upon the inferior
woman, surely. Can this be the mean
ing Of the salaries offered to Sunday
school teachers in some Of our cities?
The whole question Is An interesting
one and may have some bearing upon
the alleged present decline of church

INFLUENCE OF THE CHURCH DECLINING.

We Americans are face to face with
the lamentable and extraordinary fact

the United States is not behind hand.
This, however, is only a foreigners

have never met an American girl Of

for a woman to believe she is beautiful
is half way to real beauty. In the first

a selfish animal, and dspite what nov

plain woman gives up every thought Of

FOR A new COUNTY.
Hon. J. N. SdndOvdI Has Announced
Himself in Favor Of Division.
WHAT He SAYS ON SUBJECT.

Hon. j. NJ. Sandoval, the popular as
SCISSOR of Bernalillo county, returned
last night from Santa Fe, where he had
been the past few days in the interest
of county division, and left at noon for
his home at Los Corrales.
Before leaving for his country home,
Mr.. Sandoval was a pleasant caller at
The Citizen office. He stated that the
fight was on for county division, and
that he was using all the influence at
his command to secure the passage of
the Sandoval county bill which was in
troduced the other day in the council
by Councilman Hughes He stated that
he found considerable opposition in the
house over the passage of the bill, but
thought that the members, now oppos-
ing. would undoubtedly vote for the bill
when it was made clear to them that
the merchants and taxpayers, of this
city, had registered themselves in
favor of division. Mr.. Sandoval says
he has no fear about the council-he
found majority in that body in favor
of the bill, and thinks, before the end
of next week, that a majority of the
house members will announce them
selves also in favor of division. Mr..
Sandoval will return to Santa Fe Mon
day morning.
