about the duty Of the church and its

The above letter Is signed by a
vell-known woman, who. from her
experience in life should know some
thing of true conditions. The great
trouble is that she., like many others,
instead Of trying to remedy the de-
fects Of the church, shows her dis-
satisfaction with it by withdrawing.
BY her statement she acknowledges
that the influence of all those who
have a strong sense of social re-
sponsibility is needed
Granting that the origin OF the
church is divine, We must remember
that its machinery is. human and
therefore, it Is likely to make the
same mistakes that society in gen.
eral is guilty of.

Hampered BY Traditions.
The church. like every other in
stitution. must adapt itself to rapid
ly changing conditions and ideals.
II women are hanpered because
they are expected to live up to the
standards, and fill the sphere pre-
pared for them century ago. the
church is hampered by the traditions
and teachings Of men who lived in
the ante and post-Nicene period
That they were remarkable men is
attested to by the fact that other
teachers, of their day, have entirely
disappeared, and with the exception
of a few their names are forgotten.
