meaning with the extinction of tribal

divisions.
The laws relating to female ser
wants and female prisoners of war
were framed so as to protect them
in their defenseless position against
the cruelty or lust of their masters,
and guard them from immortality.
The laws of jealousy and the or
deal of the bitter waters are rather
discriminating against the woman as
there is no similar provision to test
the fidelity of the man, but at any
rate that method is more humane
than that of Othello The woman
has, at least, an opportunity to vim
dictate herself. On the other hand,
an equal standard of morality among
the sexes is provided for by the law
which metes out an equal measure
of punishment for adulterers of
either sex.
Mothers Pension Provided.
Biblical law is very kind to lie
widow and orphan. They are pro-
vided for by the state taxes which
were fixed in the form of tithes.
Private charity for widows and or
phans was enjoined by the command
to leave for those unfortunates the
gleanings in the fields, orchards and
vineyards. The Bible provided
Widows or Mothers Pension sever
al thousand years before the most
enlightened modern nation ever
thought of such a thing.
The law forbidding women to Off
ciate as priests cannot be regarded
as discriminating against women, as
men in a certain condition of i'll
health were also barred. Perhaps
our great Law Giver foresaw that
women would be more religious than
men that there will come time
when attendance at the temple will
be confined mainly to women; and
He wisely provided that the of1ciat
ing minister should be man so as
to insure at least the presence of one
man at divine worship.
In delineating woman's character
the Bible adheres strictly to truth
and fidelity to nature. No attempt
is made to gloss over her faults, to
idea1ize her or to raise her above
human nature. There is no attempt
to canonize any of the women Of
the Bible from the devoted mothers
to the public leaders and patriots.
The one really ideal picture of wo-
manly character is of Ruth and
Naomi. The love, tenderness and
self-abnegation of Naomi, and the
beautiful and touching devotion and
unselfshness of Ruth cannot be SUR

Bichri. He was a worthless man
who had without cause rebelled
against King David. When hard
pressed by David's general, Joab, he
took refuge in the city of Abel. Joab
at once besieged the city. There
would have been civil war and much
bloodshed, but for the timely inter
ference of woman. She is referred
to as "Chachama "a wise woman.
For all we know the "Chachana" of
that day might have held the posi-
ton and authority of the "Chacham'
of the Sephardic Jews of today, for
she seemed to have acted in an
authoritative manner. She called
upon Joab to follow the command of
the Bible and parley with the inhab
itants before besieging the city.
She spoke in behalf Of the city say
ing, 81 am one of the peaceful and
faithful in Israel; thou seekest to
overthrow city and metropolis.
Why wilt thou destroy the inheri-
lance of the Lord?' Joab then stat
ed that all he desires is the person of
Sheba. The narrative goes on to
say, "Then the woman came unto all
the people with her wisdom, and
they cut off the head of Sheba ben
Bichri and cast it down to Joab"
Thus the danger of a bloody civil
war was averted.
Then, as now, it was the woman
who perceived the folly of war for
an empty and meaningless cause, for
a misapplied sense of honor. 1t were
we'll if the modern world gave more
heed to the voice of woman in it's
councils.
A vivid example of the exalted po-
sition of women is furnished by the
prophecies Huldah. When the book
of Deuteronomy was formed, King
Josiah in his fear and perplexity
called upon the High Priest, the
chief scribe and other officials to
inquire of the Lord what to do.
These officials straightway turned to
Huldah for advice. To realize in
what great repute Huldah must have
been held to be consulted in such a
grave national crisis, we should pic
ture to ourselves for instance the
King of Belgium turning to wo-
man of his land for advice at the
approach of the German army; or
even our own president in his pres
ent dilemma leaving the decision OF
his policy to the judgment of great
woman of this land. To us such an
honor, such a trust bestowed upon
one woman during a grave crisis is

AS Queens of Israel.

Women also occupied the position
of reigning queens in ancient Israel.
That the two queens Of Biblical his
tory shed no lustre upon the throne
was due to the fact that they were
foreigners and idolators. Later Jew
ish queens Alexandra and Salome
redeemed the queenly position from
the obloquy cast upon it by Jesebel
and Alfalfa.
Through all Biblical history we
see then that woman's sphere was.
not circumscribed by the four walls
of the home but that her scope of
development was limited only by her
powers and abilities.
Custom Restricts Rights.
Biblical law treats woman on the
whole quite fairly, though custom
sometimes went further in restric-
ton of women's rights than the law
allowed.
The story Of Jeptha and his daugh
ter is quite incomprehensible in a
Hebrew land, unless the people were
at that time stepped in idolatry.
Biblical law gives very minute de-
tails regarding sacrifices. Human
sacrifices are strictly forbidden as
are also sacrifices of unclean ami
mails. Only through priest who is
versed in the law may sacrifices be
brought; and yet Jephtha vows to
sacrifice the first thing he meets
whether it is human being or an
unc1ean animal does not enter into
his calculations, and he carries out
his VOW We can scarcely take this
as an example of the power the BIZ
bic gives father over his daughter,
for the entire story is incompatible
with Biblical law.
The power exhibited over their
married daughters by Samson's Phil
istine father-in-law and also by Saul,
David's father-in-law, in taking
away their daughters from their re-
spective husbands and marrying
them off to others, are also excel
tons to the rule According to law
the father had power over his dauGh-
ter only till the age of puberty which
was about twelve years and six
months. AS is typihed in the case of
Rebecca, the maiden's consent was
asked before she was married, while
there is no mention that Isaac was
consulted in the choice of wife for
him.
The laws relating to female inner
itance may serve as model to some
modern countries. Women may in
herit their fathers land, in the abb

enough to convince us that the peril
was great. Yet Huldah was equal

her advice.
