lsWoman Suffrage Anti-Religious?
By LUCY CARY.

So many and such wise things have
been said about woman suffrage that
1t seems almost presumptuous for me to
attempt to add anything to what has
already been well set forth. Never
theless. there Is ore aspect OF the sub
ject which is not often touched upon
but which presents = serious difficulty
10 many consci entious people II is
Just this: Does the Bible teach that
women is inferior to man. and is there
divine command that woman shall
be forever under subsection TO man?
Not long ago. man said TO q wo-
man suTrarIst. III you believe in wo-
man suffrage. you arc defyinG the laws
OF God and man. and you don't believe
in the Bible" My object in writing this
article is To attempt TO show that wo-
man suffrage and religion are not in.
compatible
The first scriptural passage giving
ground for this belief in the subjec-
lion of woman is found IN the third
chapter Of Genesis, when Eve was
told that "her desire should be 10 her
husband and he should have the rule
over her" To many persons the story
of Adam ana Eve is an absolute histor-
zeal verify, while to others II is the
highest type of allegory: both classes
believe it to be inspired truth. but the
Interpretation Is different But even
ono who believes in the literal inter-
probation OF every fact recitcd in the
Old Testament. must also believe that
many OF the laws given in the Bible
were framed to meet certain then ex-
istirc conditions. and were not in
tended to outlast those conditions.
That the law was not intended to be

eternal and understandable. St Paul
tells us again and again In several OF
his wonderfully inspired eplstlcs He
plainly teaches that the law camc be-
cause of sin. and that. as we conquer
sin in ourselves, the need for the law
passes away. lie says: The law was
our schoolmaster to bring us unto
Christ nut after that faith is

nothing perfect, but the bringing In

In an age of brute force. in which
moral forces counted for little or
nothing. because woman was weaker
than man. and he could enforce his will
upon her by strength of arm, man came
every respect. Viewed IN this light, 1t
rs not difficult to believe that the
words spoken to Eve were statement
of conditions that must exist In IL
brutal. sinful world. rather than n di-
rect command. We sometimes forget
that God created man In his own
Image. male and female created
He them" while we remember the
curse OF Eve.
In considering whether this law as TO
the subsection OF woman was the re-
suit of divine command or human
assumption OF power by the stronger
over tho weaker animal, the story OF
the disgrace of Nashti. told in the Book
of Esther. may no. be out of place

Dody of male or female, is the potential
