Zarephuth, N. J.
Of the unmarried women, but this,
too, she was quick to deny.
Saws Paul Was Peeved

All that Paul's words amounted
to, in her opinion, was an excusable
and easily understood burst Of irri-
tation, which was as temporary in
its character as the occasion which
gave rise to it. Having rebuked the
women then present, the incident
was closed, and he had no intention
of suhjecting all women to a condi-
tion of spiritual slavery which was
to last throughout the whole life of
Christianity
"Nor does the Bible favor this
treatment of women," Mrs. White
asserted. II became so firmly con-
vinced of this twenty years ago that
when the Methodist Church con-
tinued to deny me the right to
preach / left it to found this or
ganization which God has so signal
ly blessed"
Mrs. White was born in Kentucky
Her parents were Methodists and
intensely religious, but, of course,
held to the orthodox doctrines which
did not include admitting women to
the ministry.
The call to preach came to the
future bishop when she was sixteen
or seventeen years old, but wher
she mentioned the fact to her pastor
he advised her to marry a minister
obviously taking the position she
could then tell him what to say
which would be the next best thing
to saying it herself. She took his
advice, married the Rev. Kent
White, a Methodist Clergyman, but
the experiment was not entirely E
success, and in 1901 she organized
the Pillar of Fire at Denver, where
she then lived.
Neighbors Complained

newspaper clippings bear testimony

As to Paul's Words

AS Bishop White holds that His-
elimination in the churches is as
iniquitous as discrimination at the
polls, she was BOT dismayed when
Pauls words were called to her at
tention.
"He did say that they were to keep
silent in the churches, didn't he?"
inquired.
"No.' Mrs. Whites smile was
kindly, but her eyes took on an
added sparkle. "He did not. What
he did say was that married women
should keep silent in the churches.
Oh, know that is not the way it
reads in most Bibles, but we have
good authority for our view. Paul
said that married women should
keep silent in the churches, but he
did not mean by this to impose a
permanent prohibition.
What happened was this. Paul
was addressing gathering of
Corinthians whose understanding of
Hebrew, the language employed by
Paul, was imperfect Moreover,
there was some confusiosl in the
church caused by some married
women present, and Paul became i'm
patient over the Interruptions. Let
married women be silent in the
churchesl' he cried out, meaning to
rebuke them; but because of the
confusion and the limited knowl-
edge by the Corinthians of Hebrew
the word married was dropped
cut, and what he said was made tc
apply to all women"

A Prosperous Church

Through the windows Of the
pacious reception room at the
headquarters at Zarephath could be
seen the heavy stone walls of the
buildings comprising the Pillar Of
FIRE seminary, where converts and
meir children are instructed in its
doctrines. On all sides of these
Eructures extended the we'll titled,
FERTILE acres of farm lands donated
% the church by it's followers. At
one corner Of the tract rose the
ssant framework Of a modern addi-
uon TO the large printing establish

Their Many Blessings

But its members are as firmly
convinced as in the beginning that
only through woman's complete re-
ligious emancipation can mankind
be saved, and as proof of the fact
that God is in complete accord with
this view Mrs. White cited the many
blessings in the way of wealth and
following that had been. bestowed
upon them.
The headquarters of the Pillar Of
Fire is at Zarephath, N. ]. (pro-
nounced Zar-e-fath), the settlement
having been named after the widow
zarephath mentioned in the Bible.
"You may remember that the
widow Zarephath gave her last cake
to Elijah after he had been fed by
the ravens" explained Mrs. White.
Her act Of generosity won favor
With the Lord and she herself was
Ted and her sen, when he fell Ill,
vas cured. Originally there was
only enough meal in the jar for the
cake she gave Elijah, but God re-
wsrded her, and the jar continued
to provide enough meal to feed her
and her SON."
Ars- White paused long enough
70 let the story sink in.
I'VE gave our last idea to the
Lord" she said, referring to the
hllar Of Fire, "and He increased

And, whether or not the Lord

aroused the Indignation of the neigh
bors, and many complaints were
lodged against them. Sometimes
objects were thrown.
But Mrs. White held firmly to
the right Of women to preach and
to the other tenets of the Pillar Of
Fire Church. In spite Of derision,
police complaints and bitter denomi-
national warfare she continued to
make gains, and soon handsome
permanent structure in Denver took
the place Of the tent, sid Mrs.
Whites writings began to increase
in circulation.
The right Of women to speak and
preach in the churches won converts
even among male preachers, and
many hastened to associate them
selves with the new cause. Thus
the Rev. Mr.. Lawrence told me he
had been a member Of the Pillar Of
Fire Church for fifteen years and
never had cause to complain Of the
domination Of women in the min
;stry.
More Spiritual Than Men
"And why shouldn't women be
admitted to the pulpits of the great
religions?" demanded Mrs. White in
emphasis of this point. women
are more spiritual than men and
certainly as fitted as they to ex-
pound the Gospel. If you doubt the
greater spirituality Of women ali
you have to do is to go to Ocean
Grove and SEQ who attends tho re-
ligious meetings. The proportion
Of women 10 always very much
greater than that Of the men, and
they take moro interest In religion"
Having succeeded in establishing
a permanent house Of worship in
Denver, Mrs. White looked about
for other fields to conquer. The
slogan equal rights for women" in
the churches proved popular, and
in 1908 the headquarters Of the
church was moved from Denver to
Zarephath, where the society had
come into possession of eighty acres
of land, the nucleus of the present
holding.
AS neighboring farmers joined
the faith and donated their lands to
the Church the limits of the head
quarters were accordingly extend
ed, and in 1912 sufficient progress
had been made to justify, in the
mind Of its founder, the establish
ment of an academy for the in
struction of those seeking to learn
the doctrines of the Church Then
a Bible institute was added, and
four-year ministerial course and
other educational features.
Accommodation were established
for students desiring to live at Zare-
phath, and evangelists went forth
to spread the doctrines of equal
spiritual rights for women and ad-
herence to the good old teachings Of
! Methodism, uncorrupted by mod
/ ern innovations.
Converts in England
The society took on an interna-
tional character when missionary
headquarters was established at 33
Gloucester Road, in London, and not
long ago took another noteworthy
step when it purchased from the
Presbyterian Church its Westmin-
ster College building, a huge gran
ite structure near Denver. Not
long ago the society announced that
250,000 copies Of Mrs. Whites
books had been sold, and that the
circulation Of her papers was rap
1 idly increasing.
''Do believe that women should
7 be permitted to speak in the
S churches?" echoed Bishop White.

!, he would not have blessed US as He
y has''

Mrs. White is duly grained over
having scaled these obstacles, but
realizes she is only one of many.
Not until the shackles have been
stricken from her sisters as well,
not until they are permitted to ex-
mound the word of God in all places

from the dry rot affecting it and

It is one OF fortunes little jokes
that finds Mrs. White and her Church
taking first place among those striv-

Originally her followers were
called, by the press at least, Holy
Jumpers, and were not seriously re-

Another Low Record.

The desultorv character of trading in
stocks yesterday resulted in another low
record for the year in the volume OF
transactions. Total sales aggregated
yesterday only 342.615 shares. in con-
trast TO 363.450 shares on last Friday,
the previous low for this year. Commis-
sion houses reported yesterday good
interest in the market from the outside,
but very little actual buying and selling
of stocks. In cne house it was declared
that the customers room was usually

Republics Dividend.

Following the circulation yesterday OF
a rumor that the Republic Iron and Steel
Company directors practically had de-
cided to cut its dividend at their next
meeting. an attack vas launched against
the shares OF the company. which car
ried them down to 62H. of nearly
points. The story, in which no little
credence was placed. asserted that the
only factor in relation to Republics
dividend which had not been determined
on definitely by the board is the exact
amount of the cut. That the present
disbursement of $3.50 quarterly will be
cut to at least 81 was declared almost
certain. with the possibility that further
depression In the steel industry between
now and the time of the dividend meet
Ing might induce tho board TO make an
even more drastic cut. Directors OF the
company refused to comment on the
company's probable dividend declaration
for the current quarter.

their industries or business generally,
and both were reported as too busy In
their offices to listen to newspaper mems
queries. Wall Street Is awaiting with
no little interest any comment Judge
Gary may have to make on the steel
price and wage situation. and is almost
equally eager to hear what Mr.. Doheny
will say regarding rumored Mexican
Petroleum financing, the Mexican oil
situation and other subjects now so i'm
