entury. Her question to God
is, 'Who shall interpret Thee to me?' The churches of this day
have not begun to conceive of what Christianity means.

"It is not true that all women should be married and the managers
of homes. There is not more than one woman in five capable of
motherhood in its highest possible state, and I may say that not
one man in ten is fitted for fatherhood. We strongly advocate
that no woman and man should marry until they are instructed in
the science of home duties. Instead of woman suffrage breaking up
families, it has just the opposite effect. In the State of
Wyoming where it has existed thirty years, there is a larger per
cent. of marriages and a less of divorces than in any other State
in the Union. Because a woman is a suffragist is no reason that
she may not be a good housekeeper. The two most perfect
housekeepers I ever knew in my life were members of my
congregation in New England--one was a suffragist and the other
had no thought of the rights of women." ...

After the services almost every woman in the congregation crowded
forward to shake the hand of the speaker.

On Monday evening the national character of the convention was
conspicuously demonstrated, as the speakers represented the East, the
South, the Middle West and the Pacific Slope. Mrs. Florence Howe Hall
(N. J.), the highly educated daughter of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, read a
charming farce entitled The Judgment of Minerva, the suffragists and
the antis, as goddesses, bringing their cause before Jupiter, with a
decision, of course, in favor of the former. Miss Diana Hirschler, a
young lawyer of Boston, presented Woman's Position in the Law in a
paper which was in itself an illustration of the benefit of a legal
training. Mrs. Virginia D. Young (S. C.) told the Story of Woman
Suffrage in the South, and sketched the history of the progressive
Southern woman, beginning as follows:

The woman suffragists of the South have suffered in the pillory
of public derision. It has been as deadly a setting up in the
stocks as ever New England practiced on her martyrs to freedom.
The women who have led in this revolt against old ideals have had
to be as heroic as the men who stormed San Juan heights in the
contest for Santiago de Cuba....

It is out of date to be carried in a sedan chair when one can fly
