BAPTISTS CONFER
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY OVER
WHELMlNG VOTE AT HOT
SPRINGS

HOTSPRINGS, May 16-For the
first time in the history of the church
women are participating in the DELHI
erations of the Southern Baptist Con
venton.
Mrs. A. H. Bedoe of Texas was the
first woman to receive her creditlals.
More than seventeen hundred dele
gates are attending and an almost
equal number of women are attending
the sessions of Womans Missionary
Union
HOT SPRINGS, May ia resolution
providing equal suffrage for women
in the church organizations was adop-
ted overwhelmingly late today by the
sixty-third session of the Southern
Baptist convention. The vote followed
sharp debate.
The question as to whether the wo-
men of the denomination should have
direct representation in the convention
had been perplexing one to the con
yention for several sessions. Debate on
the proposition centered mainly upon
tie Interpretation which is to be put
on Paul's injunction to the women Of
ancient Corinth to be silent in the
temples of Christ, as written in his
Epistle to the Corinthians. Advocates
of equal suffrage are firm in their be-
lief that Paul's advice was occasioned
by conditions which were peculiar to
Corinth.
Opposition to the suffrage amend
ment also came from delegates who
feared that participation in conven-
tions by the women of the chruch
would initiate against the work which
now is being done by the wOmans mis-
sionary union, in that it would effect
a division of interest among the wo-
men. Most of the delegates who
opposed equal suffrage were from the
eastern states represented. Several of
the western states conventions alrea-
dy have granted equal suffrage to the
women.
