nal descent happened among the ad
vanced races SO long ago that we have
no distinct record of the time, place
and causes. 1t is evident though that
there were three important causes
war, slavery and ancestral worship
Chief among these was ancestral wor-
ship. The father was supreme in hea-
ven, and the Oldest living male repre-
sentative of that family became the
house-father who was supreme on
earth. He led in their worship, he d-
rected the fortunes OF the family. he
had the power of life and death over
wife and children, Tor he had the power
OF authority which enabled him to rule
in the name of the ancestral spirits.
This developed the attitude toward
women expressed by Confucius:
Woman is subject to man; she can
not herself direct any affairs, but must
follow the rule of three obediences: !:
previous TO marriage she must obey
her father; when married she must
obey her husband; after hei husbaiidi's
death she must obey her son She
must not presume to follow her own
judgment" All ielninity was regard
ca as earthly: all things masculine Of
heaven
Such ideas prevailed during the sup
remacy OF the gems and tribal period
oi development. The condition OF wo
men only began TO improve with the
decay of this form and the growth OF
the strength of nations.
Later came the age OF cfivalry The
merits and virtues of women were ex-
aggerated, which brought them praise
iii place of justice. 1t taught courtesy
and good manners but it fostered SEN
timalism and immortality.
Quoting Mr.. Cooke again: "The
lament that chivalry is dead is
waste OF sentiment, for only in its
death could woman come to true deve-
lopment in womanhood and a real in
tlucnce on society"
From that age woman has gradually
enlarged her circle OF privileges.
For six centuries the converts sup
piled for them their one opportunity
Tor culture. Although the training
they afforded was limited it surpassed

their sense of humor overcame their

these people were his own--and they

When the last word had been said,

silence on the throng that faced him.
Alter an instant he shambled to his
seat-bearing with him the thought of
having failed when he had been so
anxious to do his best.
Is this not a bit OF experience which
many a less than Lincoln has en-
dured' How often when we pour out
our very best does it seem unaccept-
able, and we are conscious only or fail

years has brought sorrow instead of
triumph to the man who has struggled
toward that end

we may term failures? No human

word or deed as it travels on through
the vistas OF eternity.
