Women in Church MANAGEMENT.

The action of the Asylum Hill Con.
gregational church in adding two wom-
en- as members of its prudential COM
mittee is a recognition Of women that
should receive universal commenda-
ton. Women are no doubt a majority
OF the members OF practically all
churches. They are the mothers up
on whom the opportunities and tho
duties of Christian nurture naturally
fall. The Christian church could not
survive without them and as a rule
the Christian graces are best illus.
trated in them. They belong as nat
urally in the management of the
church as Of the home. Our old friend
st. Paul was a bit astray in his views
on this subject.-Hartford Courant.
