THE PRESBYTERIA
The Relation of Women'
By Mr*. G. /
(Published by request of the Uniou of \
Lexington Presbytery.) i
In the beginning God created the ?
heavens and the earth, and Moses tells a
lis tliat on the sixth day he created man. >
'In the image of God he created he him; t
male and female created he them." To 1
both the man and the woman did he give ?
a home in the beautiful garden of Eden,
and upon both the man and the woman t
ilid he place the same restrictions and s
the same responsibilities and the sad |
story goes on to tell that they both sin- <
ned, and both fell, and both were taken s
out of this home in the beautiful garden, i
and to the man it was said, "In the |
sweat of thy brow shait thou eat thy \
bread," and so side by side, since the i
world began, has Adam worked while i
Eve spun. But, thanks lie unto God.
for both a great and sufficient atonement
was iniade, and to-day both have an
advocate with the Father, eternal in the
heavens, even Jesus Olirist the righteous.
And this same Jesus is the Naz
arene, the Babe of Bethlehem, born of
a woman, and from woman alone was
given him all of his humanity. Then
what relation does woman's work bear
to the church?
Certainly no secondary or menial one,
for in this great and grand democracy
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
there is neither bond nor free, male nor
female, man nor woman, but all are one
in Christ Jesus, and he who loves most
is honored most, and from Genesis to
Revelations we are taught that the duty
of unselfish service for others falls
alike upon all, and the voice of our
risen Saviour, like the voice of "many
waters," cries alike to man and to
woman, "Go ye into all the world, and
preach the Gospel to every creature, and
lo; I am with you always even unto
the end of the world." Then what relation
does woman's work sustain to
the church?
All through the Bible, both the Old
and New Testaments, do we find, not
marked promineuce, but beautiful recognition
given to woman. Portrayed upon
its pages do we find a long and noble
list beginning with Eve, the mother of
all the earth, Raohel, Rebecca, Miriam
the prophetess, who sang sweet songs
unto the Lord; Hannah, the domesticloving
wife who gave her first born
unto the Lord; Deborah, the Shumanite '
woman who kept ever In readiness a
prophet's chamber; the fearless Vashti;
the beautiful Queen Esther; and coming
on down to the New Testament, we find
the gentle Elizabth, Mary, the mother of
our Lord, the two other Marys; Anna,
the prophetess who prayed in the temple
while old Simeon blessed the Christchild;
Dorcas, Ix>is, the grandmother of
Timothy, and Eunice, his mother, who
ten uie young man toe mnerltance of a
great faith; Phoebe, I^ydia, who, with
the other women held the first prayer 1
meeting by the riverside, and the Rlect
I.?ady. 1
As they are mirrored to us upon the <
pages of the great Book we catoh t
glimpses of purity, nobility, and sweet- (
ness of character, for there do we find l
faithful and loyal wives, gentle and 1
loving mothers, as well as prophetesses, i
judges, queens, poets, and phllanthro. 1
pists, and in their womanly personal!- '
ties do we find courage and noble doing, i
Christ himself associated with woman <
upon a beautiful plane of human re- i
lationshlp, as he Bat wearied by the t
well and talked with the woman of
Samaria, who left her watering pot, and 1
ran to tell the glad tidings, thus becom- 1
ing the first. missionary to her own peo- l
pie. It was oT woman and not man he .
said: "She hath done what she could," j
and to woman did he erect a memorial 1

;ive the first resurrection message. i
To this Judean religion woman owes t
i double debt, for through its Redeemer ,
the receives her salvation and emanei- 1
jatiou, her freedom from the yoke of f
Satan, from the bondage of man, then 11
should there be any cross too heavy for J
woman to bear, any sacrifice too great '
or woman to make, if it be her Master's 2
will? The facts bear us out, for In this
the present day and time as well as in
the olden time, women are no laggards 1
in the work, in this twentieth century
truly "the women who publish the tid- 1
itigs are a great host." Nine-tenths of
the Sunday school teachers are women,
three-fourths of the missionaries on the
foreign field are women; and there as
well as in the home land, do we find
rnWkr?i 1 ? *1- ?J 1 ?
i mi ni 111 ct 11 u inji ixi iviveo, geime aim ioving
mothers, beautiful home makers, as
well as nurses and doctors, teachers and
evangelists, writers in poetry and prose,
women who have builded hospitals,
rebools, homes and orphanages, women
who lift burdens from weary backs and
give many a cup of cold water "in bis
name."
During the last half century woman's
world has been turned upside down.
Forty or fifty years ago there was open
to the woman of gentle birth two
avenues of maintenance, matrimony or
the privilege of being in some home a
maiden aunt. To-day every avenue is
open alike to man and woman, the only
restrictions being individual ability,
mentally or physically, "to fill them.
Woman's educational opportunities have
wondbrfuJly increased; in those days
a governess in the home until she had
reached the age of seventeen and then a
year in some nearby seminary was considered
sufficient education for a woman;
to-day every degree in colloge and
university is within her grasp. In those
days woman's literary or social clubs
were something unknown, a Young
Woman's Christian Association had
never been heard of, and woman's missionary
societies were in their varlest
infancy. To-day every town has its women's
clubs, in many of them active and
useful Young Women's Christian Associations,
and every church has its
Women's Aid and Missionary Societies.
These societies have formed themselves
into our Presbyterial Unions, and these
Unions in their turn have formed into
what is known as the Synodical Union. ;
This condition of things, dear friends, is
not a Chance work, nor is it from any
rtesire on woman's part for undue
prominence, but simply the outgrowth
nf the spirit of the times.
These organizations have fought for
their existence step by step, have won
aut, they are here, and they are here
to stay. Woman flnd'ng herself thus
3quipped with a fatter purse, with a bet. ,
ter education, with literature cn every 1
land, with traveling facilities made easy
ind attractive, she awakes to a realiza- !
tion of her increased independence, and '
with this broadened horizon she begins
to give more liberally of her time, her
talent, and her means to objects which
ippeal to her most. When a woman
sives intellitrontlv of h*>r Htyia ?ni
<r, and her means to an object, she
earns to love that object, and where a
woman's heart is she unconsciously bedns
to assume more or less authority.
Tust here friends, there may be some
Uifcht tension in the church, and Juet
lere we, the women of the Southern
[ March 20, 1912
fresbyterian Church, should be very
:areful not to overstep the bounds.
God has given, I think, to man more
iuowledge than he has given to woman,
(ust as he has given him more muscle
ind strength, so he has given him wider
cnowledge and more wisdom. To womn
he has given more heart, the woman's
jreat, loving, enthusiastic, originative
leart (for love is a keener originator
han wisdom), well nigh outweighs
nan'B wisdom. But Is It not hotter that
his great loving enthusiastic heart of
voman should be guided by man'B suicrior
wisdom, but to woman he has
?lven more influence. In nature God's
aost powerful forces are very silent; the
tun as it shines in its orbit giving forth
ight and heat makes no noise; the
