pulpit il the way were open for
them. Why is 1t that not only in
the Catholic Church but In most Of
the Protestant denominations the
ordination of woman is not per-
nitted at all, and that where 1t is
permitted Gas with the Baptists,
Congregationalists and Unitarians)
it takes place so seldom?
In the early days the prejudice
against women in the pulpit was in
part simply prejudice against women
in public places. Or. Antoinette
Brown Blackwell, who had been
sent by her church as delegate to
the Worlds Temperance Convention,
was hooted at by crowd of angry
mcn--many Of them ministers
when she attempted to speak; but
she would probably have been
hooted at just as loudly had she not
been minister Of the gospel. The
ideal for women was a different one
in those days, and it was thought
indclicate for any woman to occupy
platform. But If the thought Of
woman's preaching still strikes
many church-goers as odd and some
what shocking, this cannot, certain
ly, be due to the anere publicity of
the performance. Is it possible that
there fingers remnant Of the
ancient belief that, in some occult
and mystical sense, women are
spiritually inferior to men-that it
isn't quite the thing for even the
best of women to enter into holiest
places:

The Great Wall' Formula

Some OF the publclstS In W aSh-
ington seem to have discovered that
the real northern boundary of
China is the Great Wall. They draw
a distinction between the Mongolian
and Manchurian area and the rest
of China. 1t is fantastic, they ar
que, for anybody to want to pre-
serve the political independence
and territorial integrity of extra
mural China or to talk about main
tanning the Open Door there.
Hindsight helps out foresight in
this matter. 1t is unfortunate that
the makers of the international
agreements establishing the twin
principles of the Open Door and the
recognition of Chinese entity
to use John Hays highly original
phrase-forgot all about the Great
Wall. Long before Hays entity"
note of 1900 was written General
Grant had said to the Japanese and
Chinese governments: "It is the
policy of America in the Orient,
and I may say the law of our en-
pire in the Pacific, that the integrity
and independence of China and
Japan should be preserved and
maintained" He made no reserva-
tion, however, as to China outside
the wall.
In the Root -Takahira and Ian
sing-Ishii notes exchanged between
the American and Japanese govern
ments the Open Door and the po-
litical independence and territorial
integrity of China were guaranteed.
The Lansing-Ishii accord of 1917
the later of the two--said: "The
governments of the United States
and Japan deny that they have any
purpose to infringe in any way the
independence or territorial integrity
of China, and they declare, further
more, that they always adhere to
the principle of the so-called Open
Door, or equal opportunity for
commerce and industry in China" "
No suggestion was put forward that
the Great Wall was China's north
ern limit.
Japan has treaty Of alliance
with Great Britain. That document
declares one Of the objects of the
alliance to be: "The preservation
Of the common interests of all pow
ers in China by insuring the inde-
pendence and integrity Of the Chi.
nese Empire and the principle Of
equal opportunities for the com
merce and industry of all nations il
China" Not in China south of the
Great Wall, but in the China knowr
to politics and geographical Chi
nese territory which remains a.
yet legally unalienated.
Japanese statesmen have neve
formulated such claims as SOM
of the map-revising public;sts il
attendance at the conference ar
. now formulating for them. Japan
it appears, hasn't caught up witt
the diplomacy of realism.

Women in the Ministry

Ano "oIAo moves, DuC 1t moves
slowly. Antoinettg Brown Black
well, who died last week in her
ninety-sixth wear, was the first
woman to be ordained as a minister
and in all the years since her ordi-
nation in 1859 she has had only an
inconsiderable number of successors.
Of late there seems to have been an
actual falling off in the number Of
women entering the ministry; and
while there are a good many
women students in theoloeical
schools, most of them, according to
DR.. Elizabeth Kemper Adams's re-
cent study Of "Women Professional
Workers." appear to be fitting
themselves for service as lay parish
assistants, or as teachers, educa-
tional directors, secretaries or
missionaries" Despite the wonder
full change in the status Of women
that has come about in the last
seventy years, it is safe to say that
the vast majority of church-goers
have never seen q woman in the
pulpit.
The relative slowness Of women's
progress in the ministry needs ac-
counting for. Women furnish far
more, than their share Of church at
tendants and church workers, and
one might have supposed that here
IT anywhere they would have at
tanned to positions of leadership.
That they have not done so is due
partly, no doubt, to the fact that
religious zeal and the pioneer spirit
do not often, in our times, co-exist in
the same individual. Those women
who have had sufficient independence
of mind and tenacity of purpose to
knock their heads against what ap-
peared to be stone walls of prejudice
have generally devoted themselves to
specific reforms. Even the ones who
did become preachers in the early
days were apt to injure their pro-
fessional standing by adopting un-
popular causes, such as the abolition
of slavery, OF woman suffrage, OF
temperance. Lucretia Mott, the
Quaker preacher, wrote: II have
felt a far greater interest in the
moral movements of our age than in
any theological discussion" DR.
Antoinette Brown Blackwell accom-,
panied Susan B. Anthony on many
of her suffrage tours, and Anna
Howard Shaw, though happy anG
. successful in the care of her two
parishes on Cape Cod, gave up the
active work Of the ministry afte,
seven years and devoted the rest o1
, her life to the suffrage movement

am in cordial agreement with the
pronouncements Of President Harding
and Secretary Hughes. But as we let
go of the safeguards of armaments
with one hand we must take hold Of
industrial preparedness against war
with the other hand.
At the present time the whole air
is vibrant with words on the peace
conference. So much speech has been
given to the subject that we are pretty
we'll able to caliper public opinion upon
it. The most prevalent opinion is that
it is necessary only to disqualify for
war by disarming in order to qualify
for peace. This conception is the ex-
act opposite Of the truth.

naval and military ornaments and
equipments should be scrapped and
relegated TO- the rear, just in that pro-
! portion and to that extent would the
Industrial equipment Of the nations
serve as armaments to qualify them
for warfare.

evidently not been given due consider

Let US assume, for arguments sake,
that all of the European nations should
be completely disarmed. The fair fields
of France, Belgium and Italy would, at
a stroke, be placed at the mercy OF the
barbarian hordes Of Russia and the
Siberian steppes, as actually as they
were in the barbarian invasions that
followed the fall Of Rome, when VIC
tories were won and nations sub
iugated by sheer brute force and the
power of numbers. instead Of by
highly developed science and the ex-
penditure Of colossal sums Of money
We must remember further that COM
plete disarmament is chimera and an
impossibility. The nations OF the
world must be policed; and who is to
say how large police force any ma
tion may have. to keep order within

to war with one another. The purpose
of the present conference should not Ss
to disarm as a means for preventing
wars, but as a means for lifting a
heavy burden from the taxpayers,
thereby to free large liquid capital for
the industrial development Of the
world and to pay the worlds debts and
obligations; because disarmament can
not by any possibility serve to lessen
one whit the liability of nations to go
to war. and cannot lessen one whit the
deadliness Of warfare, In tho event Of
war.
We must not forget that before the
invention Of firearms, when men fought
with swords and spears and battle
axes, the slaughter, for the numbers
engaged, was vastly greater than it
was in the World War. In olden times,
when an army was conquered, the VIC
tors, being right at the heels of the
vanquished, fell upon them and cut
them down without mercy. For an
army to be beaten in those days often
meant annihilation.
We must remember that the quick
firing gun is an implement Of mercy,
because it is less deadly than the short
sword. Armies have been forced to
fight further and further apart by the
development of heavy artillery, quick
firing field guns and machine guns.
AS result warfare to-day, though
enormously more expensive than in
former times, ID, for a given period
and the numbers engaged, far less
deadly.
