Those who are most given To com
pliincniing Women are generally least
inclined tn make them citizens. They
will tell women that they are too
precious To risk hurt in the hurly-
burly % public life. That her interests
are MANS first ,are. and that she Is
safer in his hands than She would
he If she attempted to light for herself.
For centuries women have listened to
such arguments. and have beer be-
euiled into believing them. and al
though from time To time they nave
been awakened by voices which have
warned them of the folly of their mis-
take they have chosen the line of least
resistance. and have been contented to
accept promise instead of performance.
/ am far from being among those
who. because woman does not enjoy all
the rights which should be hers, would
lay the blame exclusively on man. Man
has been moulded by woman. and con-
s~equently. had she looked on life with
far-seeing eyes. she would have early
instilled into his mind the new views
of the relation which she should bear
to that larger family circle which we
call the state.
The useful thing al this moment is
not so much to deplora or to recrim-
mate. but to ask ourselves-What Is
the real obstacle to our attainment"
The history of woman's civic disabil-
tiles is really only to be understood by
studying the history of the worlds civ
ilization. for there you find the reasons
which created them. and You see that.

Clayton street Methodist Church.

Of the six churches of the Methodist denomination, the Clayton Street Methodist Church, located on the cor ner of Clayton street and Clayton Park is one of the most interesting, and tBsa striking example of the remarka- ble results that may be accomplished from a beginning of small things.
 Fourteen years ago the Clayton Street church was organized with twelve members. Now there are S9l names enrolled on tl.e membership book. The church, was organized in little room on Holt street, used as Sunday School room, and now the congregation worship in one of the most comfortable, most completely equipped and conveniently arranged churches in the city.
 The first pastor of the little church lived in a rented house. Now the paHtor live in a modern and up- to date cottage, the property of the church con- gregation. This growth of church membership and progresss in material Hhings, has been accomplished in the past fourteen years, through the com bined efforts of the several pastors and the members of the church, together with a consecratien of time and means to the cause and concentration of purpose that brooked no interference or recognized no obstacles.
