Women Endowed With keener Percep-

BY endowment, woman has a keen
er perception of the right than man,
deeper conviction of duty, a higher
sense of responsibility, better edu-
Gated conscience, and stronger loyal
" to its demands. She holds to a
higher standard of morals for both
sexes, and responds more readily to
its requirements than does her strong

1t is strange, therefore, aye, more
than strange, that in this age of light
and truth, men whom We know to be
intelligent. men who seem to be good,
men who profess to be Christians, can
find place in their Judgment SO un-
sound, place in their hearts so un-
Christian as to offer opposition to
woman's claim to equal rights in all
the fields of active life.
