WOMEN AS PREACHERS.

There is a discussion on In the
church papers over the question OF
women ministers. Most of the argu-
n1ent against is based on the assump-
tions that a pastorate involves CELL
bacy on the part Of the woman ana
that women lack in mental qualifica-
tions compared to men. The first as
sumption is worthy of consideration. A
woman can scarcely attend to home
duties. rear children, occupy a pulpit
satisfactorily fifty-two Sundays in the
year and attend to the other duties
! imposed by pastorate. The mental
qualification is scarcely one to be con-
sidered. Church history disproves it.
So far as ability in the pulpit is con-
cerned women have made good"
Even the first objection, which appears
to be founded on excellent grounds, IS
diacredited by the statistics of women
pastors and church workers. It is es-
