the severe theologies. Through
Monica we have Augustine,
through Macrina we have Basil
and Gregory who led them both
to the faith and stirred them to
their best work."
This list is long one-through
Jacqueline, Paschal through
Paula, Jerome. through Susanna
Wesley, the Methodist Church.
etc. But these consoling exam
pies only make the wonder deep
er that Christianity should have
esteemed its most reliable expo
nent unworthy Of absolute equal
ity.
1t scarcely meets the case to
prove by illustrious examples
that women are indispensable fac
tors in religion. SO have been
the martyrs and the prosecuted
of all ages through what Difficult
ties we know.
For the past century the wo-
man movement in religion has
been breaking through the bar
riers. In the Protestant COM
munions the battle has gone on
steadily and successfully, and so
quietly as scarcely to be a bat
tie. Yet in every one of the
great denominations the right of
woman to recognition as an equal
co-labOrer with man in the King
dom of God has been challenged
and opposed at every step. Mrs.
Doremus for thirty years kept up
the fight before the women were
permitted to organize the first
Woman's Missionary Society.
Among Southern Baptists 25
years ago a similar proposition
was silently protested by the ma
jority and outspokenly resisted
by thousands. Among Southern
Methodists a petition has been
pending for years to give the
women not equal, but more gen.
erous representation in the di-
rection of the missionary funds
contributed by themselves.
for Her Soul.
Speaking by the card, have
made efforts in country churches
to organize women's societies,
for doing the sort of work every
Christian is commanded to do.
only to discover insuperable pref
udices in the minds of the breth-
rem.
At the bottom of this discred-
liable history of female repres-
sion in religion lies the jealousy
of the masculine prerogative. The
principle of pernicious proxy, the
right Of the husband to discharge
religious obligations for the wife
is persistent to this hour in the
practice Of the churches.
It amounts in effect to a lay
man priest craft, in which the
man assumes to stand between
the woman's soul and the free
and full discharge OF its respon-
sibility in practical duty.
Now the clouds are breaking
away and man is beginning TO
relent. 1t will be a good day for
religion when the competency of
every woman under God for all
the freedom an individual soul is
decreed for. without reference to
sex, is heartily and universally
proclaimed and enforced.

loath to call you. I
know not what TO call you, but I
thank you for your good cheer"
These are the words of Queen
Elizabeth greeting the wife Of
Archbishop Parker. They indl-
cate in a kindly temper the eccle-
siastical ban on womanhood in
the eighteenth century, which
made even the wife Of an arch
bishop a nonentity.
Put over against this the words
of three great theologians-Ter-
tullian, Erasmus, RabeIais-''Wo-

This is the exhibit of the cen
turtles on the subject of Sex in
Religion up to the nineteenth.
What we have of it in the TWEEN
tieth century is equally banal,
and much of it fingers in the
modern religious world.
The Bar Sinister in Church.
1t is an answer seeming fair,
and pious to the point, when the
limitations of female opportunity
are protested. to say that in the
church and in religion women
have nothing to complain Of; that
they are free to exercise them
selves in the work of the Lord.
If this were true, 'twere very
true and very good. But the
record of fact is discouraging.
From the beginning women
have occupied no position Of au-
thority in the church. Her voice
has never been heard at a coun-
ell, nor has her pen ever formu-
lated a decree. Looking at re-
ligion in history, one would sup
pose at first sight that 1t was
almost entirely a masculine affair.
Man has formulated its meta
physics, erected its theologies,
founded and governed its insti-
buttons. He is its pope, priest
and prophet; its legislator,
preacher and pastor" From the
Judean Decalogue, which includes
the wife-"thy neighbours wife"
in the list of mans chattels,
down to the recent records of the
Southern Baptist Convention and
the Methodist Conference, the
sex "bar-sinister" has persisted.
The fact readily acknowledged
that women are the mainstay of
religion has been strangely inef-
fective in overcoming the mascu-
line prejudice against her reli-
gious equality.
Religion S Better Half.
The fixed prohibition, thus far
shalt thou come, but no further"
has however, not prevented wo-
men from exercising a powerful
influence upon religious progress.
The woman nature which ex-
presses the innermost soul of re-
ligion more intimately than
the mans, has projected itself
tremendously, Notwithstanding
the ecclesiastical limitations set
upon it.
Indirectly she has sweetened
the sour theologians and softened

Youngsters Chance For
Their Lives.

There are several desperately i'll chill
dren at the hospital at Camp Good Will
who would not have the slightest
chance of recovery If 1t were not for
the exceptional treatment they are
given. The baby hospital provides a
means for saving these little mites
whose life has been a bitter struggle
since birth. Not only do the babies live
night and day on the large sleeping
porches, under the skillful care Of doc
tor and trained nurses. but the mothers
are taken with the babies, and In this
way they are taught to care for the
children so that they may not become
ilI again when they return to the city.
This is the. first baby hospital to be

Unusually successful. The idea has
