Woman Suffrage Growing.

twenty years ago women voted in
one state-Wyoming. Twenty years
hence, it is safe to say that women
will vote in every state north of
Mason and Dixon's line.
Suffrage will come more slowly in
the south, because of various rea-
sons, the training of southern Wo-
man has been such that they do not
want the vote. When they want it
they will get it. Woman gets what
she wants almost anywhere, but she
has only to ask for it in Dixie.
Colorado came into the equal suf-
frage column in 1889, Utah and
Idaho in 1896, Washington in 1910,
California in the spring Of 1912,
Kansas, Arizona and probably
Michigan and Oregon joined the
ranks last Tuesday
In the world at large, women
have equal political rights in Au-
stralia, New Zealand, Iceland and
Finland. They have the right to
vote at all but parliamentary cleo
tons in Great Britain. They have a
considerable measure of suffrage in
all the Scandinavian countries and
most of Canada, and somewhat
more restricted voting rights in
France and South Africa.
1t is only question of time when
women will have equal rights with
men IN every part of the world.

At The Christian Church,

The bible school fell a little below
| par last Sunday. The audiences at
the regular morning and evening
services were fairly good The
! teachers and officers of the bible
school held a conference in the
pastors study Monday night and
, partially outlined very unique
social feature to be put on later
A committee was appointed to work
it out in detail. The council dis
cussed the serious need of two
things. First more church men,
bers in the bible school, and second,
more bible school in the church
members. The bible school is the
great teaching force of the church,
and about the only place where the
bible is studied Systematically, yet
comparatively few church members
take advantage of it.
The Christian Endeavors are dc
ing good work. They have finished
paying their pledge to the church,
nearly four months before it was
due. In addition to this they have
pledged five dollars on the new plat
form and choir loft which is being
built, and which will be great i'm
prOFement TO the church. The |
young people served dinner recently |
at the Aldredge sale, and also this |
week at the James Baker sale.
The offering for Iowa state work
will be taken next Sunday morning.
We want you to have a part in this
great fellowship of helping win Iowa
for Christ. The pastor will tell you
about the condition of this great
state next Sunday morning. All
