BIBLE HAS KEPT
WOMEN FROM RIGHTS
Mrs. Fixen Declares Bible Is Not In
spired, but Man Made--Eyen the
Angels Are Represented as
Masculine.

Chicago, Dec. l0.-"A woman cannot
be conscientious Christian and sutf
ragist also, because OF mans monopoly
of the Bible and religion" said Mrs
Laura @. Dixon, business manager Of
the Working Woman's Home last night
before the Woman's party here.
Eve cannot accept the Bible as a
divine inspiration, because it features
the male sex in everything, almost to
the exclusion of the female" she con-
timed MAN has usurped almost every
thing in religion as well as every thing
else
in the Bible that we know God is
represented as man, Christ as man,
the apostles as men, and the angels in
heaven as men, and in it women are
commanded to obey their husbands.
s'Sufragists cannot accept the Bible
literally as divine inspiration. We
must see that it was written by men as
a time when women were their chattels.
The position given women in the Bible
has kept them from their rights as the
equals OF men. The Bible needs re-
vision. 1t is not up to date"

down the widow jumped up. He read
his peril in her eyes and made bolt
for the door and got most Of his body
outside before her foot hit the rest of
it. That settled 1t. The newcomer
was as crazy as March. April or May

law must be appealed to. The village
was agog over the news. but it had
something more coming to 1t. Next
day and before any steps had been
taken the smiling and good natured
widow was asking the neighbor why
he didn't cut more grass for his COW.
She was at the grocery ordering a big
bill Of eatables. She was bowling to
DR. Beazler across the street. and she
repaid three or four social calls. Crazy?
Why, the person that said so must be
born fool. She was just lovely, she
was.

he ate raw turnips and slept in the

stored and all went merrily. There
were four outbreaks before the deacon
began TO think OF divorce. Then he
went to his pastor to talk things over.
