Woman’s Work From a Bible Standpoint. Written for The Record. Has she the right to tell her re¬ ligious experience and call a lost world hack to God? Paul says :“Let your women keep silence in the churches; for it is not permitted unto them to speak ; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will know anything, let them ask their husbands at home : for it is a shame for women to speak in the church,” 1 Cor. 14: 34 - 35 - This passage refers exclu¬ sively to married women, and to that class of married women who are asking questions or seeking in¬ formation, for the qpostle says, “if they will learn anything let them ask their husbands at home.” The vvowan, married or single, who has a message from God to deliver, does not come within the purview of the divine injunction. If absolute silence is enjoined, the men must do all the singing and teach all the Sunday school classes. Churches which require women to tell their experience be¬ fore receiving them into the church, must surrender this unscriptural practice. The apostle certainly permits women to P™P h «y. “nd the church at Corinth the follow ' n 8 Actions ; “Every man praying or prophesying, having his head cov¬ ered, dishonoreth his head. But ev¬ ery woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered, dishonor- eth her head, 1 cor. 11 : 4-5. Al- most the whole of the 14th chap- ter of 1st Corinthians is devoted to the discussion of “prophesying” “speaking with tongues.” In the 5th verse, the Apostle says: „ Greater ., he that propesieth than he that spea keth with tongues.” speak with, tongues is to use a language the people do not under- stand, and is useless and senseless without an interpreter. L In verses Pau , says Tha t the whole c ^ urc ^ ma come together, and - that all may J prophesy. r J In verse 31, he says: “Ye may all prophesy, : one by one, that all may learn, and that all may be comforted.” The whole church most assuredly in- cluces the women. The only dif- ference in a prophet and a prophet- ess is in sex . Dr. Clark says “Whatever may he the meaning of P ra y> n g and prophesying, in re- spect to the man, they have the same meaning in respect to the *' Paul savs verse t. • “He that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, exhortation and com- fort.” So when a woman speaks to the edification, exhortation and com f ort of men, she is also prophe- » Young’s Lk translation of the ,j eb w , ndG word for proph- e.ess would frighten the timid. He j translates it: “a female preacher.” See his anglytical concordance. is not a Methodist. The other passage of scripture eronious- jy use( j 5 C al woman’s lips is in Paul’s letter to Timothy. He says: i i Let the woman learn in with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” x Tim. 2 :n-i2. “Let the woman learn. T 5 When she prophesies she is not learning, but delivering a message for God—im¬ parting spiritual truth. The con¬ text shows that this passage also re¬ fers to married women. Read ver¬ ses 13-15. The silence enjoined in this passage has no specific ref¬ erence to the church, or religious- services, and may apply as well ti the home circle and elsewhere, as to the church. Then he says: ‘1 suffer not a woman to teach.’ Where? In the church, in the home, in the school rooifi? The apcstlt is silent. Take the whole passage, perhaps, he can be better under¬ stood. “I suffer not a woman to teach, nor usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” In our day, women do teach by the thous¬ ands, in Sunday schools, homes, academies and colleges, and some of them usurp authority over their helpless husbands. Paul may have had some faint glimpses of the “New Woman.” Seriously, he 1 must be so interpreted as not to contradict himself. In writing to one of his co-workers, he says: “I intreat thee, also, true yokefellow, help those women who labored with me in the gospel.” Phil. 4, 3. Phebe, evidently a stranger to the church at Rome, Paul highly commends, declaring that she had been a help to him and others. Rom. 16 : 1-2. He also sends greet¬ ings to Priscilla and Aquila his “helpers in Christ Jesus.” All the churches of the gentiles, also, gave their thanks. This husband and wife seem to have been in the evangelistic work. Rom, 16: 3-4. Luke refers to the same couple. Acts r8. 24-26. Paul spoke of oth¬ er women who labored with him in the Lord. Rom. 16. 12. Were they all silent? Philip, the evangilist, had four daughters who doubtless assisted him in evangilstic work. Acts 21. 9 - Anna, the prophetess, right in the Temple, in the presence of the infant Jesus, spoke to all there who looked for redemption in him. Luke 2 : 36-38. We find a woman going out into the city after the men and bringing them to Jesus. John 4. 2S-30. Many believed on account of the woman’s testimony. John 4. 39. Many more believed after she led them to the saviour to hear the message from his own lips. John 4. 42, 43. A soul winner in¬ deed. On the morning of the res¬ urrection woman w as the honored messenger of God. Matt. 28. 5-8. God himself, peaking said he would put the women to talking in the last days. Joel 2. 27-28. Peter said they got at it on the day of Penticost. Acts 2. 16-1S. This is what t iey did on that day. There were 120 including men and wom¬ en. Acts x. 14-15. By the last days is meant the dispensation of the Holy Ghost which began on the day of Penticost and will con¬ tinue until Christ comes again. Let us oppose woman’s work no longer. Don’t make Paul one of the strongest advocates of woman’s work, contradict himself. If we will impeach him by showing con¬ tradictory statements,we should set him aside,rule out his evidence and determine the matter on the testi- mony of other witnesses. And fi- nally, if we will persist in - holding that Paul did not allow the women to testify in his day, let us also per¬ sist in holding that God himself said (Soo years before Christ came) that the time would come when women should speak under the power of the Holy Ghost. Joel 2. 27-28. If Paul did teach that wom¬ an must forever hold her tongue, (but he didn’t.) shall we obey him or God? If woman’s authority to tell her experience and plead with dy¬ ing men to give themselves to God, “be of men it will come to naught: But if it be of God, ye cannot over throw it; lest haply ye be found to fight against God.” Acts 5 - 39 - The Psalmist says : “Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.” Asa. 150:6.

A GATES, proprietor, Greenville, S. C. As ™ 1 — ■--- HOW TO APPLY MANURE. Comparative Merits of Surface Manuring and Plowing in Manure. Elias A. Long learned a lesson in the application of manure when a boy in his father’s nursery. He tells the story, as follows, iu American Gardening: Wo purchased from a tannery a large pile of compost, hair, ashes, lime and other refuse, with enough bark in layers to make all pile up well. In the winter we drew this on land devoted to nursery and other crops, usually plowing it mi- tier iu the spring. Sometimes ou fall plowed laud we would incorporate the mixture with the soil, by the use of the cultivator cr share harrow, in the spring. One of the things that vividly im pressed me as we dug trees and plants from soil thus manured was the way iu which rootlets would lay hold of con¬ genial hits of plant food. The tufts and felted knots of hair would be the attrac- tion to a mass of small roots. This is illustrated in the accompanying sketch, in w-hieh a a a show 7 bunches of hair, This thing v. 7 as scon not only in the case of seedling and tree roots, but also iu those of Btraw 7 berry plants, which lie much nearer the surface. A lesson to be drawn from this is that the plowing in of manure as a method of ajiplying it should not yield to surface applications in any marked degree. The avidity with which roots ! seek out and lay bold of particles of manure in the case stated showed to me that there can be no mistake in putting the plant food right where it will be needed. With the surface and appliea- tion of manure in the fall and winter there is often great loss of fertility through escape by leaching and surface drainage during thaws in the winter, If it be drawn to the plat and be kept in piles until just before spring plow- 1 iug or cultivating, such loss is uot ap- preciable. The question of the comparative mar- its of surface manuring and the plow- m mmm Vt /fjm A.

Then, again, sur- face manuring may, a, in the case of strawberries, serve an excellent purpose aa a mulch in keeping the soil cool and in preserving moisture. Another thing, all crops do not need the same amount of manure. It is a poor plan, for instance, to be lavish in ihe use of manure on potatoes and then 6li ? ht ou oaions aud celer y- Among dinS crops that do the better for high fce I would place strawberries, ccl- ery, onions, lettuce, .spinach, beets, radishes, cabbage, cauliflower, squashes and encumbers.

Cheaply Mad* tnd Effectively Used In Ohio Foe Dividing; Fast urcs. Waldo F. Brown, one of Ohio’s pro- gressive farmers, believes that it adds greatly to the value of a pasture to di¬ vide it into three parts. By this pl;.u he changes the cows each week, so that they will gO OU a fresh pasture eai U Monday, and each lot will have two weeks to grow for one week to h* grazed. It is made to appear that these division fences can be made very cheap¬ ly. Following is an illustrated descrip- tion, originally submitted by Mr. Brown to Country Gentleman: We make division feuces with fine plain wires—one a ribbon wire to show, 80 that they will not run into it, and with IKlStiS , H , ap;trt We stretch these wires perfectly tight with a rateh- et, made to be used with a common monkey wrench, ami then staple a light paling—J L. inches thick and 3 inches wide—every 10 feet. This keeps the cows from spreading- the wires apart crawling through. These ratchets cost but 10 cents each and give perfect control of the wires, as with a wrench you can at any time take up the slack in a wire, and ou level land a wire from 50 to 80 rods long can bo stretched. In making this fence the end posts must be set deep and thoroughly braced, and then the staples used on tu° costs W W w w w , A/T- ■ * -V-Vji v.x* yy, >r '' % ^ - : A y y. ’ % DIVISION FENCE FOR PASTL’UK. must not be driven so as to hold tbs g wire close, but left so that they will 1 play back and forth, but on the palings I the best staples plan of must bracing be the driven cud tight. which The | posts I have ever found is an iron rear brace, as shown in the engraving. Br is the brace, B B the bolrs, M 8 the mudsill, to which the lower end of the brace is bolted. The upper end is bolted to the post P. We make the braces of old wag¬ on tires and use half inch bolts. W W W W W are the wires. The advantage of rear bracing is that the strain of tli(j wires pulls the post down instead oi lifting it up, as is the case with a prop front brace. Why Bee* I>o Not Swarm. There are various reasons why bees do not swarm. Here are some of the rea¬ sons specified by Kansas Farmer: Iu the first place, it is well know n that the common or black bees do not increase to such an extent under the same conditions as do the Italian bees. The honey season has also mneh to do with it. Daring a scarcity of hon- •»■*«“?
