WOMAN'S PLACE IN THE EARLY
CHURCH.
CHURCH.

Woman occupied a conspicuous place
in the primitive church. This will be
evident if we simply mention some of
the feminine names which appear in the
New Testament records: Anna, Apphia,
Chloe, Claudia, Damaris, Dorcas, Eliza
beth, Eunice, Euodia, Joanna, Julia,
Lios, Lydia, Martha, Mary of Bethany,
Mary Of Magdala, Mary of Nazareth,
Mary of Rome, Mary the mother of
sis, Phoebe, Priscilla, Rhoda Salome,
Susanna, Syntyche, Tryphoena, Tryphosa,
etc. Moreover, there are many women
on whom the Lord bestowed signal ia
vorS, but whose names nave not come
down to us; for example; Peters moth
er-in-law, the widow of Main, the daugh-
ter Of Jairus, the woman with the issue
of blood, the Canaanite mother and
daughter, the woman with the eighteen
years infirmity. Once more, there are
the many anonymous women who tried,
in one way or another to serve the Lord
Jesus; for example, the woman at ia
cob's well, the penitent adorer in ST.
mons house, the widow with her two
mites, Pilates wife, the wailing women
on their way to Calvary, the praying
women of the upper chamber, etc. In
deed, it may be doubted whether any
secular history so small as the four
gospels was ever written in which the
womanly element so largely prevails as
in the life of Jesus the Christ.
Nor is this surprising. For, first,
womans distinctive temperament MAX
es her, if one may so say, natural be-
lever in Jesus Christ. He is emphati-
cally, the seed of the woman
''Not she with traitorous kiss her Saw
our stung,
Not she denied him with unholy tongue;
She, while apostles shrunk, could dan
ger brave,
Last at his cross, and earliest at his
grave"

THE LITTLE WHITE CLOUD.
What are you doing, white little cloud,
Up in the heavens, sailing so proud?
Helping my brothers, here in the blue,
Hide the hot sunshine, baby, from you
Where are you going, flying so slow?
White cloud so lazy, I'd like to know.
Gathering raindrops out of the air,
For the poor flowers dying down there.

Prof. Albert II. Smyth of the Central

clared to know more about Franklin
than any other mar living, in an ad.
dress before the Pennsylvania :lis-
tory club sketched the history of pun

manuscripts he had perused, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. He told the fol-
lowing anecdote of J. Pierpont Nor
san's collection:
II was much surprised to learn that
NJ. Morgan owned valuable Franklin
manuscripts, and as he was abroad at
the time ! wrote to his nephew, Junius
Morgan, this gentleman suggested
that we should break into his uncle'S
residence, and we did SO, spending an
afternoon in the financier's library.
! found three complete sets of Frank
lin manuscripts, but not the Collinson
letters, which ! was anxious to see.
Finally, as night was setting in, we
discovered a wonderful pile of manu-.
scripts, including Pope's Rape of the
Lock- stories by Poe, novels of FEM
more Cooper and others, and from the
center of it I extracted the Core
s%pondence of Franklin and Peter Col
linson. ,"
