The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-11-16


Opinions from nine women of prom
inence in various fields of womanly
usefulness as to five essential qualities
of true type constituted feature Of
the sermon of Rev. w. H. w. Boyle at
House of Hope last evening.
The question was presented to ten
women and all but one, replied. DR..
Boyle's sermon was one Of a series
upon,s.Ideals of the Home" and the
particular branch Of that subject which
formed the topic of discussion last
evening was: GA Young Woman Of
True Type"
One woman named good sense" as
all five, of the, qualities she would sug-
gest. He communication was as fol-
lows:
Qualities of head and heart which go
: to make the woman of true type, the
woman we need in the home today:
,..First-Good sense. A man asked the
question of two women which one shall
/ marry; one has religion, but no sense,
the other has sense, but no religion?' The
answer was. Take the one with good
sense, if she has sense she will soon have
religion
"Second-Good sense. The woman with
good sense will have what the New Eng
Lander calls faculty, most essential quail
ity in the home.t
'Third-Good sense
"Fourth.Good sense
"Fifth-Good sense. Then will she have
that wisdom which cometh down from
above which is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle easy to be treated, full of mercy
and good works, without partially and
without hypocrisy
From a woman whose home is on Sum-
nit avenue and who is sprominent in
benevolent and philanthropic work. as
well as in social affairs, DIR. Boyle re-
ceived the following suggestions:
Observation-Disclosures; ability to appre-
ciate the best things and estimate the
true values of life.
Second independence of mind and
character, with high ideals and stand
ards.
''Third-Domesticity; love of home with
true appreciation Of it's duties and priv
ileges. =.
"Fourth-Truee womanlmess; modesty,
refinement and sympathy.
.'Fifth-Faith and love with the active
expression of the Christian virtues"
One woman says: 1.-THE qualities that
make for perfection in woman I believe
to be:
"Eirst-Early love of pure and exalted
ideals,
Second ilableness; fitness for the
sphere, in all its wide ministries, to
which she is called-the home.
'Third--Alacrity, meaning by this the
cheerful disposition, the active piety of
kindly attention in the home and out of it.
"Fourth-The quality of answering
faith in the Savior of women and obedi
en &C., to the precept of His word
'Flfth-AA mind of her own.
In another reply the following qualities
are put forward:
''First-A practical education, including
the case of the physical, the development
of the intellectual, the. culture of the
esthetic, and the upIift of the spiritual.
"Second-Skill in the domestic art. Two
of the prime causes of drunkenness are
said to be lack of nourishing food and
CHEEKY homes.
"Third-High sense of social obligations;
sense of responsibility for the welfare Of
others, self-control and patience.
"Fourth-Working knowledge of the
word of God as it is related to the sancti-
fication of fife.
''Fifth-Faith in God, through Whom
come these things which in the neces-
sary discipline Of the present make for
the endless future"
Another contributor suggested:
"First-Faith in God; in right.
Second-Viftue, in the scripture sense.
''Third-KnoWledge
"Fourth-Patience.
Fifth Charity.
Another of the women to whom the
question was addressed thinks that the
true type of woman should be truthful,
unselfish, ready to forgive, generous, fond
of books and of nature.
.Piety, sincerity, unselfshness, modesty
and tact" was another group suggested
Another was dutifulness; implying
reverence and obedience; sense of honor,
implying truthfiiness and open-hearted-
ness; humility, Implying modesty and pa
plishment and personal attractiveness:
faith, implying belief in the guidance of
a loving Providence and in the mastery
of Christ" 1850
From another source came the sugges-
ton. that the young woman of the true
type should be:
'First-Dutiful, reverent, gentle and
loving in all the relationships Of the home
Second Cheerful; with her presence
ray of sunshine for everybody.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.; ready to perform
the humble duties of the home.
Fourth Intelligent; selecting her books
with the same prayerful care that she ex-
ercises in selecting her friends.
'.Fifth--Purposeful; having convictions
and the courage of Them"
