THE PR1SBYTER1J
Woman,
l'o the Editor of the Presbyterian of
the South:
Dear Sir: Belelving that the Good
Book is against "Votes for Women," and
that many good men and women are
ignorant of or indifferent to its sayings,
I call upon those well able to expound
and in a manner likely to reach* the
masses as well as all others.
To such I would suggest the title of
Is?h and Isha or .Shall Women Vote?
Answer the questions of the advocates
of Woman Suffrage (by showing
that most of those things expected
as the result of woman's vote, have
ul ready been attained by the influence
of such women as have not voted or deaired
to do so.
Show that the power or right to vote
will necessarily carry with it the right
to govern and to rule. Remind the
reader that the history of the Jewish
nation proves that no such right was
accorded Jewish women and that the
very few exceptions of the rule of
woman will not disprove this assertion
A warning might be here added that
of the few exceptions some were so
notoriously evil to prove no great help
to any naming them.
Should one of your readers, accepting
this suggestion of a sermon or a
paper against "Votes for Women." be of
a poetic turn, then he. might begin
with Paul's opinion and express it as
What sayeth the Scripture?the Great
Apostle's plan?
Man was not made for woman hut
woman for the man.
Again, if the suggested sermon or
paper is desired to be of a tragic turn?
then tell the story of poor Miriam, who
with Aaron, attempts to take the rule
of government from the hands of Moses
and the terrible punishment for her
their) presumption?visited upon her.
Xot 'by Moses the man, but by the Lord
God himself. And?to show the other or
touchingly noble and manly side?the
splendid behavior of the same Moses
in his entreaty for mercy and cure for
this same erring sister.
Again, should the writer wish to dig
at once to the heart of this subject, to
get down to such solid, bed-rock facts as
permit of no cavil, no doulbt or question,
then he has only to go to the story
as told in Genesis.
Tot It Vn ?h o,,r~ that aaao^^la? to. th<_
"Ofc it UC ouunii tiit*L attvi UU15 LU IUIO
Word of God, Ish and Isha (man and
woraani, were created equal. "Male
and female, created he them," that this
equality was real and pf the Lord, that
this equality continued until their disobedience,
which ended this as other
things that were "good" .before the
fall.
After the fall God appeared to the
three guilty parties to this the greatest
calamity of the ages?and visited dire
punishment to each.
Upon the Serpent: "Because thou
hast done this, thou art cursed above
all cattle, and above every beast of the
field. Upon thy belly shalt thou go."
TTnon the man* "Cursed la the irrontiH
for thy sake; In sorrow shalt thou eat
of it all the days of thy life."
Now what of the woman: What was
the punishment?the curse visited upon
the woman?
We have for ages repeated this, >hu1
In most cases we have omitted the closing
clause of this most terrible visitation.
This punishment Is not only -that oi
sorrow, multiplied in child-birth, not
only that her desire shall be "subject
to thy husband" (marginal reading)
hut also "and he shall rule over thee.*
Ah! it may be that this last was not
the least of those meted out to woman
but after all it cannot be forgotten, that
. H OF THE SOUTH
s Sphere
this is not what Paul said ot Moses or 7
any other man, but it was the Lord
God omnipotent who proclaimed as one 1
of the punishments for woman's sin, f
that man "shall rule over thee."?Byrd
Richmond.

THE PROGRESS OF THE RELIGIOUS
PUBLICATIONS.
i
By J. F. Jacobs.
The following interesting figures are
developed by a comparison of the (
American Newspaper Directory of 1897,
taking the Southern States, including <
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North i
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia and West Virginia, in i
which territory the population has in- I
creased in fifteen years approximately
22 per cent., and the church member- \
?uip over ou per cent.
We find by the above comparison that
while the number of religious publications
has only increased from 108 to 122
that the total circulation bas increased
from 938,966 to 2,252,194, an Increase of
over 133 per cent. In 1897 there were
108 publications; in 1912, 122. The
average circulation per religious publication
of 1897 was 8,694. The average
circulation per publication in 1912
was 18,460.
A careful coroarison by States indicates
that in each of the Southern
States there has been a decided increase
in circulation of the Religious
Publicatons with the exception of one
State.
The Increase is as follows:
Alabama 42 per cent.
Arkansas 65 per cent
Florida 221 per cent.
Georgia 24 per cent.
Kentucky 33per cent.
Louisiana 93 per cent.
Mississippi, minus 2 per cent.
North Carolina, 97 iper cent.
South Carolina 55 per cent.
Tennessee 210 per cent.
Texas 2 per cent
Virginia 95 per cent.
West Virginia 43 per cent.
Theso wide variations are due to the
fact that in many denominations, especially
the weaker ones, the entire religious
literature of the denominations
la faona<l I** o ?lnr?lA . ?
