OPENS WAY FOR WOMEN
Solution for Problem of Scarcity of
Ministers Is Suggested.

Chicago. Nov. ia solution of the
problem, How to get more minister's -
has been submitted to the eighteenth
ttiennial convention of Congregational
churches, by Mrs. Hannah NJ Null
leneux, who in an address before 200
ministers and laymen declared that the
time has come when women must be
admitted to the pulpit in large numbers.
Mrs. Mulleneaux. who said he had
held several pastorates. declared that it
is providential that there is a dearth of
men entering the ministry, as the con-
gregations would now have to consider
women for their spiritual leaders. The
convention listened in silence to her
address and no action was taken.

His First Duty.

Some of the over-nice critics OF
things that are express the opinion
that Governor Lilley's lawyers should
not have raised the constitutional
question at all. but should have gone
along and allowed the investigation
without questioning the validity of rho
law under which it was made. To such
it will be an informing and, perhaps
a surprising matter IL they read SEN
tence from the paper of Judge Robin
son, who pronounced the law unconsti-
tutional. The judge said:
And / would say right here that so
apparent and vital are these questions
that, if the defendants counsel had not
called the attention of this tribunal to
them, I. as one of the members of it,
should have felt it my imperative duty
to ask for preliminary discussion of
them"
Not only is the contention of uncon-
stitutionality of the governors coun Sc,
Messrs. Judson and Burpee, declared
entirely valid and correct, but so OBJ
vious is that fact to the apprehension
CT Judge Robinson himself that he de-
clares that he would have made the
claim if they had not. That leaves less
