WOMAN’S RIGHTS
- We read occasionally nowa
days where some little-minded,
small souled, contemptible con
ceited jackass has used the nine
teenth amendment as an excuse
for venting the churlishness of
his pre-Adamite ethics in some
especially pointed discourtesy to
the so-called “weaker sex.” “The
most recent instance of this kin
at the time this is written—
there will probahly be others by
the time it is printed—is an al
leged “justice” of the peace in
Chicago who fined two women
$5 apiece for not taking off their
hats when the distinguished gen
tleman on the benen desired it
C()ni('mpt of court he called 1.
If some kind friend will send us
this person’s address we will im
mediately mail him our check,
too.
What do these people think
courtesv is, anyway ?
Apparently they think it is a
condescenamng qdeterence shown
by an individual of great strength
toward an inferior, an CXPression
of lofty patronage. As though
that type of man had anything in
him to justify him in patronizing
anyone! |
Let’s take a little trip hack into
the infancy of the beast called
man and sec what this thing
called “courtesy” or “chivalry™
is anyhow. Way back, a gouple
of hundred thousand years' or so,
after man had pretty well adapt
ed himself to walking on lis
hind legs physically and wes
just on the verge of getting off
all fours mentally, one of these
pre-Adamites sneaked out of his:
cave, or crawled out of his tree
top nest, one morning to forage
for his daily raw meat and
acorns.
This pre-Adamite in his wan
derings came upon a pre [ve
woman. His father had won his
wife by the simple process of
knocking her in the head with a
club and dragging her home.
Her parentage was made possi
ble by the same simple process.
No chivalry there, no patroniz
1g condescension of great
strength to lesser. So, following
the custom of the time, when
the man found the woman fair
to look upon, he tapped her on
the head and dragged her home.
Physically he had conquered
her and according to the custom
of the day she belonged to him,
provided some stronger cave
man didn’t knock him in the
head and take her away. ‘
But in the course of time itl
gradually dawned upon the prim-!
itive mind of the man that he!
had not completely conquered hisl
woman. There was something,
it might be called spiritual, whivh[
for all his strength and all the
weight of the “public opinion”
of the time she could not be!
forced to yield. Pernaps hisl
father had felt the same condi
tion but it had not worried him. !
His father had still been walking
on all fours mentally. The hero
A Sermon to Live By
By Rev' Elam Franklin Deinpsey, D. D.
PRAYER: AN UNUSED
ASSET o«
Text. Luke 18:1, “Men oueat
always to pray.” :
Shall we pray only in the
large things and in the pressing
emergencies of life? Or shall
we make large and small alike
the subject of prayer? In reply
I ask another question; Shall we
be wise above God and not dare
to make all life spiritual? A
life that is not religious in the
smallest“details of its largest
plans is not religious at all, as
Christ teaches religion. There!
are thank God, many lives on‘
earth that disdain not to own
religious motive in every least
concern. Whatsoever they do,
they are careful to do in the
name of the Lord Jesus. "It is a
practice which explains what the
worldly-minded. often wonder at
—a strange power and wisdom in
God’s meek children. Who
knows what is really smali? The
flight of birds saved North Amer
ica to Anglo-Saxon dominion,
thus taking it out of the hands of
feebler Latin races. So we can
never know upon what small
event, as upon a hinge, our whole
after years may turn. Therefore
let each Christian live in an at
mosphere of prayer. Thus alone
'cin we know those secrets of ‘the
of this romgnce is on the verge.
[yoll see.,
' So he puzled over the anomoly
‘as much as he could puzzle with
in his constricted cranium. Then
he realized that this woman was
stronger, in a way, than he be
cause he could not conquer her.
And he respected her because of
it and showed his respect. He
had no hat to lift, in fact the cus
tom of lifting one’ hat as a
sign of respect is a recent inno
vation, hardly seven hundred
years old. It is an interesting
story in itsclf. The knights of
old, encased in steel from top to
toe, would remove their helmets
in a gathering of friends and
suffer their heads to remain un
protected as an indication that
hey threw themselves on the
doubtiul mercy of their barbari
an, though supposedly friendly,
osts and admitted themselves
to be in the power of their com
pamons. No condéscension there.
But to get back to our cave
man. After he had learned to
respect ‘physically weaker wom
an because there was something
in her soul that he couldn’t con
quer, he learnzd in the course of
milleniums to respect age be
cause the experience born of
age was a strength he could not
win with a club. As a man pro
gressed he developed religion
and respected the niedicire man
and the other early ancestors of
the priest and preacher because
they represented an unknown
strength to which was attribuied
ClHoOrmous. power.
Nowadavs man's mind has
grown more complex and his rel
ations with other men niore com
plex. Modern courtesy is not
the crude thing of the carly
morning of conscious human ex
istence. Still, when a man raises
his hat to a woman, or gives un
his seat in a street car, ow does
the hundred and one simple little
things that go under the name
of courtesy, if he searched his
inner consciousness carefully he
would find that he did it because
he felt, in some way, a sort of
respect for strength and not be
cause of the protective feeling of
the stronger for the weaker. It
is the same respect that moves
one to show courtesy 16 age and'
to the ministry.
The Nineteenth. Amendment
was simply an admission on pap
er that women are not inferior
to men. The exercise of the
right to vote does not change
the relation between the sexes.
The man who uses it as an ex
cuse for churlishness simply has
no strength of his own and there
for can have no sympathy with
strength in others, and as re
spect 1s based on sympathy, can
have no respect for others. We
said some hard things about the
Chicago judge when we started
out. We take it ali back. He
and his ilk are really too pitia
ble to cuss. It isn’t their fault.
They were born that way. They
truly constitute a “weaker” class.
But we feel no impulse for chiv-l
alry toward them, |
Lord which are vital to our wcl-\
fare, but which are reserved for
the listening heart. Blessed are
those souls which are so sensi
tive that God can not only direct |
their lives, but use them in an-|
swering the prayers of others.
Prayer, in its full power,
thougi\ not entirely so, is almost
“an unused asset of the kingdom
of God.” How it must grieve
ur Father’s heart that so many
of His blessings are withheld
from His world and His Church,
because of our prayerlessness.
Think of the laborers who go not
into white fields, of the souls un
converted, of the Christians
varfed, of the unreveald visions
of larger work, the unrealized
hopes, the untouched spiritual
sources of power, and the in
numerable dormant forces of the
kingdom—all because we Wil
‘not practice the art of prayer,
May evefy one.of us repent of
; our neglect, long and sinful. May
we enter the secret place ohce
more and afresh we learn ‘the (1
lesson that we wield the arth of
~omnipotence by the praver of
simple trust out of the leart of
Gmfis child.
Then the kingdom of ‘Gd shall
swiftly advance in ‘earth and
“there shall be joy #n the pres
