 It wss wsaqen who did it. God put woman on ihe throne along with
 uan and so the. came equality down
 through uhe ages. When God went
 before the world be. wasn't ashamed,
 he wasn't afraid to receive blessings
 from woman. if the apostles were
 preachers, He mate @ssy Magdalene
 the first preacher Of the Resurrection,
 and when you come to look upon Him
 ca Lhe cross, He looks down upon the
 HOiy Mother, the Virgin Mary. 1T
 you pass over into secular hiet2gy you
 will find the same thing. You wiH
 ind the moLkeJ of Constantine brild-
 ing churches, goizg out ahead lof kim founding institutions. If you go oser
 into Russia you ~iis find wonderful
 women there, women that the very
 despots had to take up aad acknowl- edge their equality. Now when J speak Of some Of those women in his tory, do not approve Of all that they did, but just to show their power Of in- ielleet. their determination. The Pope s as made saint Of Joan Of Arc. If J 5o1 come down into the days of queen II1.ofia-she had a mind that was dgL. and determination to do what @as night.

 Job was the first man tEat, know of who opened his eyes 10 the eoeality in business Of a Romau to man. gsd he says,leI will Rtge my daughters ga in- herltance with tbeif brothers, and 50 | he distributed the property betWeen | the brothers and sisters alike, and our law says "share and st are alike when you make your will.
 Every reform has been fought for I You will find that women had to fight i their way for eduealioni they had to l fight their way through to owning l It is only few years since 8 woman didn't own her child any | more than the horse in the barn own ed him. She had no control over child | in the state of Conaeeticut until few years ago Is that what you think is right? Judge ye what fs right" says the Saviour.
 The very life of the nation depends lBqD the condition of woman iG thpt l nation. The time was when mothers couldn't read, when mothers couldn't sign their names, but now, If you find ;ay such ore in the community, 1t is ! rarity.
 You will find that equal suffrage is just as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow morning. Men may not be- Iieve 1t, some women may not believe 1t but 1t is coming just the same as the j Judgment Day is coming.
 This IS q great subject and it is hard to get through it for there is so much l of it. This great reform is coming Eleven states have already taken up | the truth of righteousness, and who | are these women-your mothers, your sisters, your wives, and can you take | from them that which rightly belongs | 10 them? Is it right Is il common sense2 It is coming as sure as Elijah | cloud brought rain. Shall we say, we l, honor our mothers, we honor our | wives, we honor our sisters. They | shall have all the privileges, they l shall have all the duties, they shall l have enfranchisement us we'll as we.
 God speed the day, you will help il l on.
