A man who read before his club a
paper opposing the enfranchisement
of women made the statement that the
Bible supported his theory. for after
the Lord had created man and before
the creation of woman, He pronounc-
ed all of his works good. One of the
audience repeated the remark to a
suffragist. Well, she said, Il don't
know what the Lord thought about it,
but considering the material He had
to work with, I think He did a pretty
good job.
