WOMEN VOTERS
VS.. CHRISTIANITY
Miss Ashley Says Sufragettes Can
Be Bible Students-Mrs. Hixen
Saws No.

New York, Dec. l0.-Miss Jennie Ash
ley. a suffrage leader and member of the
New York bar. takes exception to the
statement by Mrs. Laura G. Hixen, Of
Chicago. that a woman cannot be at
once a conscientious Christian and a suf-
fragist because man monopolizes the
Bible and dominates the religion trust.
Mrs. Hixen said recently that suffra-
gists cannot accept the Bible as divine
inspiration because il represents God as
man, Christ as a man, and the apos-
ties as men, besides commanding wom-
en- to obey their husbands.
One finds to-day in all countries the
stanchest supporters of the Bible and
its creed lined up in behalf of the suf-
frage cause said Miss Ashley. Were
the assertion of Mrs. HiXen true. an APP
palling situation would face the women
who are now pushing ahead toward the
goal of equal suffrage.
Can one really believe that II is an
impossibility for a woman TO be true
Christian and at the same time embrace
the cause of votes for women? Hardly.
However. the teachings of the New Tes-
lament are. on the whole. at variance
with all the present political ideas.
Not alone are these teachings against
the political construction of the men of
the present day, but OF the women as
well. In fact. its doctrines are opposed
to the modern status of politics, in6ud
ing the whole system in vogue. The Old
Testament does not speak very definite
ly as to the position women occupied. but
il does not by any means belittle them,
as has been stated
The Bible certainly should not be re-
vised. 1t stands for the day in which it
was written. 1t sheds light on the be-
