WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE WILL
BE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
AT BIBLE CLASS MEETING

"Women's Place in Society" will be
the topic discussed by A. A. Ebersole
at the Y. NJ. C. A. mems Bible class
this evening. The attitude of Jesus
Christ on woman suffrage will be one
of the points that will be taken up in
the discussion.
Much of the work of. Christ as rec
orded in the New Testament was de-
voted to giving woman her proper
place in society. He even takes up
the question of fallen women and
places the blame where 1t belongs
on the man. Jesus Christ was the
first champion of equal rights and pri-
vileges for women as will be shown
by Mr.. Ebersole's outline and remarks
this evening. Discussion by the men
present will be the feature.
Tonight's session will be held in
Cooke hall, the Y. NJ. c. A. assembly
room, and is open to all men. The
session will begin at GAS O'Clock and
will last for one hour.
