WHAT ST. PAUL REALLY SAID
EngIishwoman Declares Men Have De-

the Great Apostle.

Men translated the Bible-and
twisted st. Paul's remarks about won
Ell to suit their own ideas. That is
divulged by Miss II. Raleigh TO the
British WOmen's Freedom league.
The apostles remarks about women,
she said, were badly twisted in trans

removal of a few dots and commas,
that st. Paul did not: Forbid women
to preach; command them to obey
their husbands; insist that forever and
aye, whatever the fashion of the coun-
try, they should wear hats in church,
say that they should never wear jewel
ry and fine clothes.
"In the sentence, Women obey
your husbands" said Miss Raleigh,

obey is be considerate to-"
