A WOMAN'S SERMON

A most unique religious service was held at Mon
treal last evening" service conducted entirely by
women
The pastor sat in a pew and woman member Of
his flock occupied the pulpit other women acted
ushers and the choir composed entirely OF
alto and soprano voices.
only the topic Of the evening address is told in
the dispatches and it recorded that the congrega-
ton, not all women, listened attentiYely 10 the dis
cussion Of what shall wear at the wedding"
Here is a wide field for imagination on the part
Of women readers who may be attracted by this
innovation in religious history What would you
say il you were to deliver that sermon?
Would you delve into the meanings of garments
snd advise the white veil Of modesty and purity?
or would you stress the boquet of roses as emblem
attic of the most beautiful things in life?
You might, perhaps become reminiscent and
recall the fact that in the earliest stages of recorded
history, a mans daughters were regarded as much
his property his herds of cattle and weddings
in those days took the form OF barter and sale.
The world has never known but three ways OF
acquiring property The most primitive method is
that of capture and many of the titles to royal
holdings trace ther origin to this method. The
others by sale and gift, and inasmuch as in the
earliest days of history the female was regarded as
property the proceeded to capitalize that
fact by selling them to the highest bidders.
The question of what to be worn at weddings
was simple in those days. The bride wore exactly
what her father included in the bill Of sale.
It is something of a growth from that day OF
purchase to this in which a woman occupies pulpit
to discuss religious questions not only as the equal
of man in rights but in intellect and in power
II is safe to say that the discussion by this woman
was not as trivial the subject might suggest and
it is quite likely that she advised those who go TO
weddings especially their N, to wear the smile Of
faffb Of 7oto
the institution which is responsible for cfvza-
ton.

LIN md Law YERS

There is an old adage that Ignorance Of the law
excuses no man." and it is having a new and
humorous application in these days.
A rather remarkable situation has been created
10y the appointment Of Sen. Kenyon to a federal
judseship
Kenyon is lawyer, presumably OF higher class
than the or his profession or he would not
be chosen for important place where laws must
DE interpreted.
The president named him on the advice OF the
legal adviser OF the whole people. Atty Gen Daugh-
erty. upon whose knowledge OF what is law and
what is not. all people must depend for the pro-
lection Of their rights.
kenyon confirmed by a senate the majority
az whose members are lawyers and all are law
makers
After all this and brilliant array Of lawyers
had taken part in trying to create a judge of the
former leader OF the farmers bloc an insignificant
p=aetcing attorney called attention to the fact that
the appointment Of Kenyon is HlssaI and against
the constitution. Now ali admit that he is right
Kenyons disability lies in the fact that he voted
10 increase the salaries OF judges from $4,000 10
$500 and the constitution very foresighted-
y. prohibits any Official from participating in any
increased salary which he helps TO hx
Il IS a rather Iudicrous situation-but a very sig
ndeant one
IL would that a land which applies with
rgd inslstence the rule that ignorance Of what Is
law does not excuse a man from its operation the
men who stand az the top OF the legal profession

4 SENSIBLE LEGACY

When the richest citizen OF Boston died recently,
it was discovered that he had left approximately
five million dollars the city.
Many other rich have remembered their
home towns in tleir wills but few of them have had
the common which was shown in this be-
quest.
II was a very simple provision and put the money
in the hands of city officials to be spent for the
and the enjoyment OF the inhabitants" Just
that and nothing
Some rich men have given their fortunes 20 public
by devoting them to specific purposes If the
donor was inclined to believe that public thought
would be uplifted by extensive libraries they
have designated the building OF such institutions
Others have chosen hospitals which would keep
their names in the Public mind after they had gone
few have tried galleries.
For the use and enjoyment of the inhabitants
leaves the field open to changing tastes and chang
ing needs
II is quite conceivable that the time may COM
when the inhabitants would most enjoy the income
from this bequest in the form of free theatrical
presentations.
The representatives Of the people, theoretically AT
least. will choose a manner in which the money will
be spent that meets popular demand and approval
That is something of an advance over the i'm
posing OF conditions Of gifts which may make them
useless TO the benefclarics
