Omitted Press. Women must keep
their seats in the "amen corners"
and remain without a voice In
church government.
The hand that rocks the cradle
may rule the temporal world but
the authority In the spiritual world
must remain with the men.
\ Agitation for women's rights,
which has placed them in the leg

don the black robes Of the judic-
larry, has failed thus far to make an
impression in the conduct Of &C.

the movement to allow women to

Another passage from the four

''Let your women keep silence In

unto them to speak, but they are
commanded to be under obedience,
