WOMAN IN THE CHURCH
MRS. J. NJ. MANNING. EDITOR.


Thus we find the cultivation of the
two-fold nature essential--the life hid
den liz Christ, and the life manifest
! ed to the world. The mystery of suffer-
Jig and the comfort of service comb ne
to develop the ideal woman.
Today the church contains these
types of women, banded together in
/ to organizations, the individual wo-
man lost in multiplicity of kind. each
one emulating the other and in honor
preferring one another.
These soc. cites severally are known
| by their works. Altar Guilds who de-
| vote themselves N the special service
of miuisterng on the sacred duties of
! the altar; circles of Daughters of the
/ King, who bear the cup of loving SER
vice." ''hold up the weak, heal the
sick bind up the broken, and restore
sin-sick souls. Each member rcr re-
sents the ideal daughter, "all glorious
within, her vesture of pure gold,
wrought about lii divers colors."
The Girls Friendly Society the
members of which must go forth to
seek and save lost sheep and bring
them back into the fold.
Also there are Mothers meetings,
conducted by those who give counsel
~ enter upon the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of making new homes and
guiding young families.
The order of deaconesses is COM
posed of women who consecrate them
selves to service on religious duties
under the direction of the priest of the
parish.
Sisterhoods. the members of which
live in community life and devote
hours of each day to contemplating
sacred things. attending divine service,
visiting the poor and needy, and pray
ing with the sick.
Then the Woman's Auxiliary which
is neither parochial nor diocesan,
but national. and committed to IL self
devised and self-assumed task, name
~ to assist and increase the mission
airy efficiency of the church" This or
ganization begins in the infancy of the
members. and in this stage is known
as the Babies Branch. Baby fingers
are trained to give, and baby lips are
taught to pray.
Next in order is the Junior Depart
ment, or training school for boys and
girls The habit of praying for others,
giving to others, working for others, is
there formed. Then the Senior
branch. where loving service is con-
tinued in obeying the last great COM
mission: Go We.
The Board of Missions accepts the
Woman's Auxiliary as an essential
part of the Church Militant.
Two classes of women compose this
organization: Those who actually go
into the field, and those who stay by
the stuff" each Influenced by circum-
stances and environment
| Woman'S place and work today,
| then is the same as OF old: to continue
| in the fellowship of saints and to do
all such good works as God has pre-
Jared for them to walk in. Then shall
we come to those unspeakable joys
which have been prepared for those
who unfeignedly love.

THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
BY MISS FANNIE T.. S. HECK

The last century was rich in names.
1T was so wonderful, SO many sided
that each could see in it the promise
or the fulfillment of what he most lie
sired. To the scientist it was the CEN
fury of invention; to the capitalist thar
of organization: to the educator the
children's century. While it cannot be
claimed that the first half of the ceh-
fury brought much to women. Just
as truly as any of it's names describe
the whole the last fifty years mas
be called the Woman's Halt Century
So rapid indeed has been the al
vance Of women along every line oi
social freedom. education and business
since 1850 that none can look over
this period whether he accepts or re-
iects the name. without noting Ills
as a marked CHARACTERISTIC Oh the
times. Since this is SO ana since Wo-
men form the greater part ot the
church. ii is not surprising that
here is to be found the nos signal
field OF her advance. AAs Us purpose

work a woman must cut herself off
from the rest of the human race, be-
come leper herself, see the flesh rot
from her bones and after some years
of living death in which she sees
her body become a most loathsome
object, die horrible death. Yet, Cath
Ollie women are found who devote
themselves joyfully TO this work out
of love for God. Take again the work
of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd
in which Catholic women cut them
selves off from family and friends and
live with rescued fallen women for
the purpose of reclaiming them. Take
again the Little Sisters of the Poor
who make themselves servants OF the
aged poor for the purpose of renew
ing their wants and consoiing their
dying hours. Take again the work OF
Catholic women in epidemciS, pestl-
lences, on the battlefield, amongst at
Fiction in it's every form and at the
cost Of life-and who can doubt the
immense heroism entailed in such
works-works of such heroic sacriI1ce
as to command the respect OF the most
bitter scoffer of religion.
Again note that whilst lay women
are employed in various works or re-
ligion, education, and charity, TO
greater or less degree, there are num-
cIOuS SOClclI6S OI AdIHOllC WOIASii Vii
bracing many hundred of thousands
of members, whose devotion to these
works is such that they have cut
themselves off from friends and fam
lilies and devote their entire lives
and fortune to these works.
In the United States alone there are
over one hundred of these orders, en-
bracing nearly one hundred thous-
and Sisters who have the direct care
nf llndnr them ~
Guiding the training of upwards of l.
100000 children alone.
They have charge of about 700
academies, 1000 parish schools, ESQ
orphanages and $4,000 orphans. Their
institutions of Charity are so num-
erous that there is scarcely a city
in the country, not covered by their
work
In a few words the work of wo-
man in the Catholic church, is placed
in such position as to commend it
to every reasonable and just mind.
1t protects the root and vital interests
of family and society, in protecting
the marriage bond. 1t has for it's di-
rect object, the rearing of the human
race to the true glory of God-the
most important work of the human
race. 1t is so vast in it's extent, that
it embraces the whole race in one
form or another, from almost the era
die to the grave.
1t is so earnest, that it sacrifices
money and life without stint
1t is actuated by the pure love of
God. and no earthly gain. 1t seeks its
reward in the next life. and shuns
worldly applause.
1t is so devoted, that many to pur-
sue it. freely cut off family and friends,
and devote life and fortune to it.

woMAN's WORK IN THE CHOIR.

In this department of church work
there is an opportunity for the devel-
opment of much besides musical tai
ent; and the woman, who, as organist
may direct choir will find herself
needing tact, executive ability. pa
thence and the power to inspire 9TH
ers with the enthusiasm she must her
self possess before undertaking this
work. Of necessity we are consider
ing the volunteer organist and choir.
since, if both are paid, the work then
becomes professional, instead OF
church work pure and simple.
If it is possible to have a choir
realize their true place in church,
namely that properly they are to lead
the congregational side of the worship
not alone in a musical way but so
we'll in reverent attitude and behavior
then there is opportunity for spirit
ual work in addition to the mechanl-
cal rendering of the music. Frivolous
conversation and laughter during choir
rehearsals held in the church building
do not induce the habit of order ana
reverence in the church services on
Sunday. 1t is very easy for gather
ing of young people, full of life and
spirit to fail to realize that reverence
should be shown Gods house at all
times-but severe cenSure Will not
serve to correct their error. An occa-
sional word spoken at the right time
a quiet personal talk with different
members, will do more to secure rev.
erence and attention than much public
Gliding. An infinite patience may be
developed in an organist who must
depend on unreliable people for her
choir material:-an infinite impa-
thence may likewise develop under
such conditions and fortunate indeed
is the volunteer organist who can re-
ly positively on the promise of the
choir members to be present at re-
hearSals and services.
On the other hand from the choir
side there is good work to be done,
even if woman have only a voice Of
ordinary quality. a woman having
an ordinarily good voice, with the
combined qualities or promptness and
reliability, may render more grateful
service to the average organiSt or
choir manager. than one who having
an unusually well-trained voice yet
lacks the other two qualities men
toned. It is therefore not prime
necessity in the average volunteer
choir that woman shall have an ur-
usual voice in order to be a valuable
and helpful member. There is much
to be done in the way of keeping the
music in order and if the choir be
IL Systematically organized Chapter
of Praise it may work to provide a
fund for the purchase of music--keep-
ing it's records as does any other par
ish guild. To be ready at the call of
the rector, to sing at a funeral, at
the house of some of Gods poor
TO assist at a cottage service in some
outlying suburb or to visit some poor
old man or woman and sing for them
the old loved hymns, are some of the
ways in which woman may do mis-
sion work in choir
Realizing the privilege which is
hers of aiding in the rendering of
Gods holy worship, singing without
thought of criticism, because the SER
vice is to God and not to man, a wo-
man may know the spirit of real
worship and gain the benefit to be
derived from such spiritual uplift.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE,
By MISS MARY HATCH HARRISON

AS we look down the vista of time
we see that woman has always been
accorded a holy and consecrated place
n the church; recalling the Esthers.
the Ruths the Marthas and Marys Of
the past we behold the same virtues
in their sisters of the present. the
same unselfish devotion, the same ten
derness, patience, charity, love which
rendered immortal the women in the
history of the church.
To the women of the youngest
church movement, that of the Chris
tian Science denomination, perhaps the
one thing that has encouraged them
most has been their holy reverence
and sincere gratitude to their sisters
of the older churches for their cour-
age, fidelity and sacrifice to the mis-
sion of Christ in the world.
God is Love, God is Spirit and we
will all agree that the church of God
stands for the embodiment of that
Love and that Spirit in the hearts or
men lifting, purifying, elevating. heal

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

Grave on her monumental pile
She won from vice. by virtues smile
Her dazzling crown, her sceptered

Affections wreath a happy home.
The right to worship deep and pure,
To bless the orphan, feed the poor;
Last at the cross to mourn her Lord.
First at the tomb to hear His word.
To fold an angels wings below;
And hover DER the couch of woe;
To nurse the Bethlehem babe SO

The right to sit at Jesus feet.
To form the bud for bursting bloom
The hoary head with joy-to crown
