Everywhere I found good, live in

definite education to strong sentiment. In
England there is strong forward move
ment. I talked with some of the promi-
nent industrial leaders, who maintain
that unless England gets rid of the drink
menace she can never compete with
America in business. What they need and
are working for is a local option law so
that the many communities substantially
dry may declare themselves legally dry.
TN Italy, Premier Mussolini has done
IS can buy liquor, no children under 10
can bring wine to school, and the send

the family liquor has been greatly cur
tailed, showing that the country is be-
ginning to realize the danger in wrong
education of children.
Local option is making decided pro-
gress in Germany. Three years ago thew

year they obtained 100000 signatures

Judge James S. Parker in circuit court
at Flint, Mich, criticised the police for
leniency in police raid at the Flint Coun-
try Club recently He denied the appli-
cation of the prosecuting attorney for
grand jury investigation, saying it would
not accomplish anything that might not
be accomplished in open court trial Judge
Parker said if the raid had occurred at
some small rooming-house the police
would have arrested the persons present,
and he was vigorous in denouncing the
police for not Selling those who were at

the men were able to impose
numerous injustices upon women.
If the iniustices were convenient
for the men, the fiattery and
comfort and laziness which so
often accompanied the injustice
were highly pleasing to the
women. 1t was a $3.50 PROPOSE
ton.
Into that sex-specialized world
came Jesus.
He attacked that sex speciali-
cation. But He did not attack 1t
as q sex problem. He attacked it
as he attacked all human weak
ness. He wasn't any more in
terested in rescuing the ladies
from their hard lot than he was
in rescuing the men from theirs.
He saw that it was all one hard
lot-and that the He's and the
She's were in rocking boat
together.
He did not tell men that they
should revere women.> Nor did
he tell women that they should
rebel against men. But he put
their own weakness plainly mp
to both men and women and
showed them how an injustice to
the other sex reacted on both.
And He told them to be fair to
each other.
That's how Jesus Christ
preached a new life for women
by disregarding the fact that
they were women.
Which was the most reyolu-
tionary treatment ever accorded
women.
He didn't revolutionize their
standing, however, for their
standing hasn't yet been revolu.
tionized.
We ladies are still up to the
same old tricks-as is the whole
human race. We're still lazy and
cowardly, silly and selfish, con-
ceited and cruel, We still want
all the old exemptions given
women and all the new preroga-
tives given men. And our stand.
ing won't be revolutionized until
we, ourselves. stop such skldding
and slumping.
But that isn't the fault Of
Jesus Christ or his philosophy.

Did Jesus Christ revolutionize
the standing of women?
Jesus Christ has reVolutionized
the standing of very few humans,
either men or women. If his
teachings were even partly fol-
lowed our whole social organiZa
ton would be revolutionized. But
we have been exceedingly timid
in adopting his preeepts. We've
said nice things about Jesus.
And built tall buildings to per-
petuate His name But when it
came to emptying our pocket
books and securing out our lives,
we place Jesus Christ right in
the same class with children and
