BISHOP oUAYLE IS WRONG.

bIOnOF VOALAE 10 WAeONO'
Bishop w. A. Quayle started
something the other day when he
gave this opinion on the work Of
women's clubs:
"Women's clubs are places where
the women with the most erroneous
ideas on all subjects do the most
talking" he said. "The women who
do know something are those who
keep silent and those who know
nothing do all the talking. After
while the silent member absorbs the
nonsense promulgated by the talker
and becomes like her.
women have, for time only,
hope, but very definitely, lost their
spiritual leadership, through the
influence Of the woman's club. Wo-
mans spirituality is altogether her
most tremendous asset, and she can
do more good through being pro-
foundly spiritual and being able to
communicate this spirituality to her
husband and children than she can
through her clubs. Women need
to recover the vastness Of their own
souls and to realize that they can
not climb from philanthropy up to
God, but must climb from God down
to philanthropy.
when women are spiritual they
will do naturally what they now DO
through what they call charity and
philanthropy. They will accomplish
through spontaneous action what
they now have to sit down and plan
to do through their clubs.
''It is a generally accepted fact
that more women go to church than
men, but 1 have found the opposite
to be SO. More men than women
are church members. 1t is easier
to reach men through religion than
It Is to reach women. When wo-
men recover their spiritual leader
ship, now lost through their organic
alton into clubs, and when their
lives work automatically all will be
we'll with the world"
Bishop Quayle is usually right but
here is an instance where he is
wrong. The women's clubs have
been an uplifting force in the small
town and we have but to remember
conditions before they became COM
mon to realize 1t. Perhaps he has
reference to the frivolous clubs OF
the big cities-certainly he cannot
mean the clubs of the smaller towns.
