The Woman Preacher.
The Views of the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher.
There was a stir in Plymouth
Church last evening, as the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher read for his
text the 34 and 35th verses of the
fourteenth chapter of First Cor
iutians :
Let your women keep silence in
the churches ; for it is not permit
ted them to speak; but they are
commanded to be under obedience,
as also saith the law.
And if they will learn anything,
let them ask their husbands at
home; for it is a shame for women
to speak in the church.
‘ Recent events,” said Mr. Beech
er, “in a church in this city, have
interested the whole community.
A woman —a regularly ordained
preacher —was asked to 6peak in
a Presbyterian church, and she
was in every way qualified to do
so. For permitting this woman to
preach, an esteemed and honest
pastor was brought before a spe
cial meeting of the Presbytery,
and Ids conduct pas-ed upon. He
was directed not to do so any more
The simple question before us is/
whether in the New Testament
WOMEN ARE FORBIDDEN TO PREACH
and teach. He said he proposed
to speak of the particular com
mand laid down by the Word of
God on women preaching and
teaching publicly. There are those
who regard this utterance as final
and conclusive, and there arc
those who admit the binding - obli
gation of Scripture, but regard
this command as local, national,
and transient. It was in force
only in a particular place, for a
particular time and purpose. The
modern Church is totally different
from that of the first ages. The
The family does not stand as it did
two thousand years ago. Women
were far more equal to men
among the Hebrew than any other
ancient nation. They were net
then excluded from public func
tion. lie spoke of the patriotic
glory of women who had stood up
in those times to hold the sceptre,
and eulogized their wise adminis
trations.
Women were forbidden to teach
in the synagogue. Technical edu
cation women were not admitted
to, and consequently they could not
know the work imposed by the
Church. It was eminently ptoper
that they should speak out (after
a pause), and in the meeting too
[Applause. J There is nothing in
the Gospel that limits the rights
and duties of women in this re
gard, excepting in Corinthians:
Paul’s letter to Corinth, and when
he wrote to Timothy. In both in
stances they were not directed to
Jews, but to the Greeks. He com
mented on the characteristics of
the two nations—the slavery and
ignorance of the Greek women,
and ihe freedom and cultivation of
the Hebrews. A virtuous woman
in Greece was, he said, a domes
tic drudge, while a woman of ed
ucation was placed in the category
of courtezans. The Greeks would
have derided the spectacle of a
woman with uncovered face speak
ing in a public place. Therefore
it was that Paul forbade them to
teach in the church —in Greece.
[Mr. Beecher smiled as he added,
“Would that he had put that in.”J
If he hud only known how stupid
people are in our day lie would
have done so. [Laughter.] Mr.
Beecher spoke of the noble pur
suits of the women of the present
time, and asked if they should be
degraded and placed in the same
catalogue with the women of an
cient Greece. "I do not say that
I scorn or condemn those who look
at the subject differently from my'
view, but I marvel at the circurn
stances which could make a wise
man so foolish. [Laughter.] I
honor Brother Cnyler because he
had the courage to invite Miss
Smiley to his church.”
Speaking of the many com
mands laid down iu the New Tes
tament, he said: “You are com
manded to honor the King. Do
you honor him ? No; you have
thrown him overboard. Paul
says : I will, therefore, that men
pray everywhere, lifting up holy
hands, without wrath and doubt
ing. In like mailer also, that
women adorn themselves in mod
est apparel, (laughter, in which
Mr. beecher joined), with shame
facedness and sobriety; (contin
ued laughter) not with broidered
hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly
array. [Anothor burst of laugh
ter, the pastor ejaculating “Oh,
oh, oh.”] Why are not the wo
men who brcaK these commands,
arraigned ? Oh, Brotiier Cuyler,
let these women be tried.
Do you suppose it was wrong
for women to braid their hair or
wear jewelry ? I inveigh against
extravagance, but all creation
could not keep an ordinary woman
from following the fashion. Wo
men have risen from the degrada
tion of the past; wo are not
barbarians now. As a mother,
wife, citizen, she has multiplied
functions, and a noble work to
perform. Are you going to put
back the dial—to turn the tide of
civilization ? If women arc called
to the pulpit, and show themselves
fitted for the work, they have a
right to speak. Where can we
find more noble examples of wo
man’s cultivation and goodness
than among the Society of Friends?
Miss Smiley has extraordinary
ability.
He anathematized the rituals or
doctrines that forbade women to
speak in the church. In Christ
there is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female :
for ye are all one. “When you
ask me,” Mr. Beecher said, “if a
woman shall speak in meeting,
I answer no—unless she has some
thing to say. We have trumpet
enough now, let us have the flute.
Women, God will bless you, and
angels love you, if you properly
bring up the boys and girls God
has given you.”
