RIGHT TO BE PREACHERS
Defeated in Congress of Church,
They Threaten to Make Issue
at Next Convention.

BERLIN. January 13 R).-There
is only one regularly ordained woman
preacher in Germany, and Suffra-
.ettes sre on the war path against
the edict which bans members of their
sex from the ministry and particlpa-
ton in church conventions.
Defeated in the recent general
SYNOD congress of the evangelical
Church. the women, led by DR.. Helene
Lange and DIR. Gertrude Banner,
threaten to make another issue of the
question in this years convention.
DR.. Banner said that as all church
taxes are collected by the State by
means of a levy on church members,
and as women have been given the
vote by the State, they ought to be
admitted to the ministry as well as
men.
The church elders. however, argue
that because some churches in the
United States countenance woman
preachers is no reason why the Ger
man Evangelical Church should
break a time honored rule.
