FUTILE EFFORTS OF A YOUNG LADY
TO CONVERT SILAS ROCKWELL
TO A CONFESSION OF FAITH
IN CHRIST AND HIS
CHURCH.
(By James s. Scott.)

The following letter has been sent to the
Blade for publication. BY careful read
ing it will tell its own story.
Friend Mr.. Rockwell:
What you have to say about the young
lady is very interesting. You tell me she
is a bible teacher, that she comes in con-
tact with bible scholars OF ability and is
actively engaged in church work So she
has taken upon her shoulders the task of
bringing you into the fold. l admire her
zeal and courage and regret that her en-
thusiasm has not Deen enlisted in the cause
of freedom. Considering the active part
she takes in church work her advice to
you to study the life of st. Paul as care
fully as you have studied the works of
Thomas Paine, Voltaire and others is amaz-
ing Your retort that "St Paul told her
to shut up" was happy one. This seemed
to give her some trouble and you say that
she, at your next meeting, advised you to
read the context, that she admitted that
Paul did say women shall remain silent"
but that the context shows that he merely
opposed their tendency to gossip, women
being as prone to that evil 1900 years ago
as well as at the present day. Now the
best plan is to return her advice, tell her
to read the context, call her attention to
the End and Sd chapters of list Timothy.
She will discover that her apology for Paul
will not hold water. In the revised version
of 1881 the language has been softened by
the revisionist but the sense remains prac-
tically the same, it would be advisable to
read the same chapters in the unrevised
edition and she will learn that Paul spoke

as follows: That women adorn themselves
in modest apparel with shamefacedness
lin the revised edition "Shamefastness')
and sobriety; not with broidered hair, or
gold, or pearls, or costly array"
| gather from your description that her
appearance is not to be desplsed that she
is very fond of nice clothes and knows how
to array herself to advantage. 1t is her
womanly duty to adorn her natural beauty
and she is all the more to be admired for
not adopting the decree of ST. Paul He
goes on, Let the women learn in silence
with all subsection. But l suffer not a
woman to teach, nor to usurp authority
over the man, but to be in silence" How
does she square this dogmatic command
with her bible teaching. And again For
Adam was first formed then Eve. And
Adam was not deceived, but the woman be-
ing deceived was in transgression! Since
the dawn of history, when a man and wo-
man were involved in trouble, the man has
with few exceptions played the coward
and cur and shifted the responsibility,
hiding behind the woman's shame; and this
has been true from Adam to Harry Thaw.
Paul is found on the side of Adam. JUS
tice to woman and equality of right has
no place in his philosophy.
According to Paul man who cannot
rule in his own house, having his family
in subsection, cannot care for the house of
God. Paul's attitude to woman was the
common view point of his age. A great
preacher is always in advance of his time,
and this narrow-minded teacher in his
failure to rise above his century forfeits
all right to the respect of posterity Her
bert Spencer, one of the greatest thinkers
of the Christian era, mas this to say "The
true sentiment of love between man and
woman arises as each serving as the rep
resentative of the others ideals. From this
position / think we may deduce the corol-

larry that the first condition to happiness
in the married state is continuance of that
representation of the ideal; and hence the
conduct of each toward the other should
always be so regulated as to give no Of
fence to ideality. And on this ground l
conceive that instead of there being, as is
commonly the case, greater familiarity
and carelessness with regard to appearance
between husband and wife, there ought to
be greater delicacy than between any
other parties. There should be thorough
recognition on both sides of the equality
of rights, and no amount of power should
ever be claimed by the one party greater
than that claimed by the other. The pres
ent relationship existing between husband
and wife, where one claims command
over the actions of the other. is nothing
more than remnant of the old leaven of
slavery.
1t is necessarily destructive of refined
love; for how can man continue to regard
as his type Of the ideal a being whom he
has by denying an equality of privilege
with himself, degraded to something be-
low himself?
To me the exercise of command on the
part of the husband seems utterly repug-
nant to genuine love, and feel sure that
a man of generous feeling has too much
sympathy with the dignity Of his wife to
think of debating to her, and that no wo-
man of truly noble mind will submit be-
ing dictated to. AS far as I can see 1t
seems to me that the men that occupy the
pulpit are not teaching the religion of
Jesus but the theology of st. Paul.
1t seems strange that the gentler SEX
those creatures that we love and admire
who have always been our equals and never
our interiors, have been willing to accept
the doctrines Of the orthodox pulpit and
bow before the intolerant Paul who so
shamelessly abused them.

RED RIVER CART REVIVED.

In the olden days when Minnesota
was territory the Red River cart
with its plodding yoke Of oxen, was a
sight common enough in any of the
settled or semi settled portions OF
what is now the state of Minnesota,
but it has been a good many years
since this leisurely mode of locomotion
has been resorted to. Historians say
that it has been over thirty live years
since the Red river cart has travelled
the streets of any Minnesota city, but
such a cart was seen in the Twin
Cities last week and will be seen at
the state fair this year. The oxen and
cart are part and parcel of the Fort
Ridgely in '62' production now being
built on the state fair grounds in
preparation for the great historical
spectacle which is to be presented each
evening of Aug. 81 to Sept. in front
of the grandstand with 300 Sioux In
dams and 600 white men participant
ing.
This interesting Renaissance of ter.
ritorial days in Minnesota will form a
part Of the wagon train which during
the spectacle will wind its way across
the prairies Of the famous fort of 1862.
During the day time it is expected
that it will be used for sight seeing
tours by those who regard two and a
half miles an hour as speed sufficiently
sensational for their present needs.
