REV. T. E. KENNEKLY AND
FEMALE PREACHERS
Mn Editoh— A few things ought
to be said in reply to Bro. Kens
utrley's article on “Female Preach
ers,” which appeared in the Her
ald, of June /he 3th, For this
purpose please give me space in
jour paper.
He says, “(iod bless the women
in their place, and it is to be de
sired that they stay in their place.”
! Amen to that, but let God deter
mine their place, neither I nor my
Bro, K., has the right to do so,
Tlmir place is w here vet God calls
them by His spirit ; their duty
whatever He directs them to do
j whether it be to pray; exhoit,
preach or prophesy—anything the
spirit directs them to do, they
should do it with all their might
“ Quench not the Spirit” is just as
applicable to the woman as the
man and no man has /he right to
judge what ttie spirit speaks to
■hern, than he has to judge what
He speaks to me. Each individ
ual must determine for himself or
her herself what his or her duty
is, and human nature needs uot
be caulioued against being over
zealous in doing good- The en
couragement should aiways be on
the other side.
Bro. K., says again, “If Jesus
had intended that women should
preach He would have called one
or more to be among 11 is desciples’’
To see the fallacy of such a state
ment, put it thus ; ''lf Jesus had
nuended that Gentiles should
preach He would have called one
or more to be among his disciples
According to his own logic, Bro.
K., has arrogated to himself the
functions of a chris/aiu minister,
without the semblance oi 2 ivine
authority
He says fur/ber : “Jesus indi
cated while on earili wbat should
be 'he rule or law of His Kingdom'
True, and He commissioned a
woman to be the first preacher of
a risen Saviour. Then in Math,
27; —52 and Luke 8. I—3 we »re
taught that women followed Jeeiis
from place to plaee and minister*
unto Him, ami I daresay they pro
claimed His power to cast out
devils, and to heal the sick, they
being living witnesses to this
power. If my Bro. K., had been
there, I think he would have in
terposed thus- “you women jus*,
keep silent, don’t say a word , in
fact you are out of p'ace ; you are
out of plaes you ought to be at
home looking after domestic af
fairs. 1 hats what God made you
for, and here you are floating
around in various unfavorable
circumstances, looked upon with
suspicion.” Cm Master would
say to him; Let them alone. John
12: 7.
(but S/. Paul is quoted, Ist Cor.,
14: 34-35 and Ist Tim., 2 : 11-12.
The Devil never mat dents his su
tleiy more forcibly than when he
uses the words of inspiration to
t upset /he work of the Holy Spir-
I it. He very often tries this plan
I to hinder /he children of men in
I their return to Goa. lie needs to
be watched more perhaps at this
point than aiiy other. In the
passages ret erred to there is not
a word said snout preaching.
Construe them litteraily and see
what a prt diriment it puts you in.
A woman must neither shout,
pray nor sing in 'he church, bhe
must not say a word. Ho w revolt
ing the idea ! Out and out heath
enism !* By such au iuterputation
women would be excluded entirely
from the Baptist church, for they
are required to relate an experence
before admiteion. Bro. K., would
no doubt ngree to such a construc
tion of tuese texts than I would
Such au interprepation must be
sought for as will accord with
oiher scriptures, and with the
i spirit of toe Gospel. This can oe
easily done aud give the woman
all the the latitude they waut.
In 1. Cor., ll<i. there are given
| specific direction.-«s to how women
■ are to appear, when praying or
prophesying in holy assemblies
Now. in a very important sense
prophesying is teaching, and
preaching too: as for that matter,
Why were the directions given, if
Paul intended to debar the women
from these priveleges» Then
again, read the last chapter of
Roman* and see how tenderly he
gpeaks of those women who had
helped Irm In 1 auc 2 verses of
this chapter, he commended to the
church at Rome, sister Phebe who
was a servant or deacuness of the
church at "enchrea, and who seems
to have oeeu sent out on some
mission; for Pa il says, “assist her
in whatsoever busines she need of
vou. What sort of assistance
would Bro. K’s, article in the
Herald have beeu ? Read also
Joel 2 :-28 ; Acts 2 : 2-18 Acts
21 : 9.
A’ow by God’s help, let us
fry to see wha/ Is the true tnean
ing of the texts quoted in the ar
tide under review These women
had recently been converted from
heathenism to Christianity, and it
was ye«y natural for them to
transcend the bounds of propriety
in their behaviour ; They became
dictatorial, disobedient, inclined to
usurp authority over the men, dis~
posed to wrangle in the public
as .emblies. Hence the exhoiti
tion: “Letyour women keep si
leuce”—be decorous , for it i 6 hot
permitted unto tbem to speak" —
to harangue or wrangle in con/ro
versy with the men The two
passages are of the same import.
These are the conclusions reached
after haviDg examined /he original
texts and other helps as carefully
as my time would allow, end I
Dumbly present them to the read
ers of the H f.kai.d.
Let it be remembered that in
the proceeding remarks, I have
made no special plea for female
preachers, as such but have simp
ly insisted that, under the Holy
Ghost they have the right to Jes
cide what their duty is, and the
rigJA so perform whatsoever it
may be. If God calls them to
preach i/ is not my business, no my
Bro. Ker.erley’s to binder them.
If we cannct assist them, we should
let them alone 1 would not have
beeu the author of the article un
der review for my right arm. Luke
17 : 2
To me it is one of /he most
hopeful signs of the times, that
ihe church is begiuing le realize
what a power woman is in helping
to evangelize the world.
Let us use all the agencies avail
abb /e rescue perishing inoitals
from eternal death, and bring them
back to our Fathers honu—
Enough of our poor fellow beings
have already gone to Hell, still
millions more are on the road
t
Muhiply oh Lord, multiply the
number of holy, consecrated wo
men aud send them out all over
ihe world lo carry the glad zidings
of the G' sptl. Help us preach.-
ers to learn ft-otn 'iheir examples
a lesson of faith and zeal. May
God bless you, Brother Kener
ley.
My hea> t and hands are too full
to engaged in a newspaper
controversy, but I felt moved to
say wbat I have said.
Very Respectfully,
J M. Armstrong.

NEW POSTAL LAWS.
some very important changes
made in the postal laws by the
last congress will go iu/o effect on

changes tha/ are made from time

there is nothing to which the pub

The new postal law, whicn takes

WOMANS WORK IN THE
CHURCH OF GOD.
The restoration of women to her
New Testament “status" in the
Church seems to be at hand.
What does this mean t Vt means
that the Christian women of to
day are taking the places and
ing the work assigned them by
the apostles. It does unt mean
that they are to take upon /hem
the functions of the pastorate.
Our Lord and his apostles did not
impose its burden upon them, for
reasons that are obvioes and un
changing. It does no/ mean that
we are to have »n “iinperium in
iraperio,” in tbs Church, its wo
men running on separate and in
dependent lines. It does not
mean rha/ /here is to be any mas
teriai modification of the polity of
the Church affecting woman's offi -
cial relations and sphere of ser>
vice. The Church as it is furnish
es a field in which she may exer
cise all her powers in the service
of her Lord. The New Testa -
ment “status" of women in the
Church may be understood by
reading the sixteenth chapter of
the Epistle to the Romans. Wo
men ware the servants of the
Church, net more units to swell
its census They had charge of
business of the Church suited to
them and needful for it. They
were helpers of the apostles in
their work of saving sonls; and in
one notable case, at least, a woman
was an apostle's instructor in the
way of the Lord. They knew and
taught the way of salvation. They
prayed and prophesied in the as
sembli6B of the saints. (See First
Corinthians xi. 5) They were
neither dumb nor idle; their hand
and voices were ever ready to
make quick response to the call of
duty in bearing testimony for
Christ and in the ministrations of
love and help to his followers.
They exerted r spiritual power all
iheirown. They labored muib in
the Lord, and t heir names come
down the ages linked with those
of the apostles.
We have watched with friendly
and hopeful solicitude the prog
ress of the new missionary move
ment 01 ganizeu for our women at
,iur last General Conference. Our
hopes have been fully realized, and
our fears happily dissipated. Our
women have done well, and learns
ed rapidly. The direct and visible
fruits of their labor vindicate th®
wisodm of the movement, and at
test Ibe approval of the Head of
the Church. The arm" of their
organization already embrace Mex
ico, China, and Brazil, and other
enterprises are being planed.
Every step /hey have taken has
been marked by prudence and
energy, and their balance sheets
have been full and clear.
But the deepest significance and
highest valneof this movement
will oe overlooked if we confine
our view to these aspects of it.
Its reflex influence upon the whole
Church must be taken into the
account. This ifluence is happy
and wide-spread To this fact ,es
tiniony is borne from all quarters.
There is not a single Southern
Me/hodist pulpit that has not, con
sciously or ur consciously, felt the
impulse given by theawarkened
Christian womanhood of the
Church. Scarcely a home among
all our people has failed to catch
something of the stiuiulous of
quickened thought, and the glow
of awakened feeling front what
these women are doing aud say
ing. Some are tilled with a great
joy to find this mighty lever is in
these last days to be useed to turn
the hearts of the heathern toward
our Christ. TYtey rejoice tha 1 .
t' e way is opening as never before
for woman to work for woman in
the dark places of the earth.
Every prayer meeting catches a
warmer feeling and a higher to-»e
from the preseuceof ifiese womeD,
who have caught the spipit, an I
are in sympathy with the mission
of their Mrster. They are leaven
ing the whole body of the Church
with their ’ufiuence.
Rejoicing in /hese tokens of the
restoration of woman to uer New
Testament “sta/us” in the Church
we are not pained by fears that
the movement now begun will
overleap its prr per bounds.
Thu divinely chartered religious
rights of womaii are not more
plainly defined man their utcessa
ry limitations. While reaching
forth an eager hand to claim her
privileges as a worker for her
Lord, she will not blunder by
grasping at shadows. Her sphere
and function are wide enouga to
till an angel’s heart and hands,and
she has no occasion to go beyond
them. It is enough tha/ hence*
forward the power of Christian
womanhood will be fell in the
Church us it was in the first days
of its triumph aud goly.

2. Because they are Loo proud

3. Because they have never

4. Because they are unreliable
and will quit woik to go to a cir
cub, and can never be depended
on in an emergency.
5. Because they drink amen/

7. Because hey are luo inde

8 Because they are fearful of

10. Because they would rather

11 Because they swear and

A TRICK ON A SEMINARY*
One of th 6 most fashionable
young ladies seminaries in Phila
delpbis was visited on Wednesday
by two young sisters of charity.
They were well received by the
lady principal, who showed them
through the dormitories »nd final
ly allowed them to open a sub
scription among the young ladies
pupils “for sweet charity’s sake.’
The young ladies subscribed lib
erally, aud some of them even in
sisted on a blessing and a kiss.
They received both administered
with a fervor that greatly impress
ed the recipients. The sisters as
highly pleased, and took their de
parture across the lawn to the out
er gate, where they had left ‘heir
| carriage.
The curionsity of several of the
young lady students to see more
of tbe good nuns cause them to
approach the gateway by another
and shorter route. There saw
what horrified them, for in getting
into the carriage the boots and
r>antaloons of men wore exposed
under the black draperies of tits
sisters. Every effort was made
to keep the matter quiet, and /he
story teached publicity through
the clutw. Two prominent socie
ties for dispensing charity received
SSO each in bank notes by exp rtas
yesteiday morning. The affui 1
is allegedi to have been the result
of a bet in cue of the clubs in /bis
city made between a party of
glided youths. It is estimated
that SI,OOO a side was wagered
that (he seminary could not be
visited ai.d thoroughly iuspectvd
in any way by peasons of the male
sex—Washington Star.
JAY GOULD’S RIVAL,
Jay Gould came back to town
yesterday and carried his sun
burned Dose into the freezing at
mosphere of his private office at
the corntr of Broadway and Rec
tor streef, where the ticker welcom
id him home again with a chirp
and a buzz.
“Let the portcullis fall!’, he
cried to the trembling minion who
stands ‘Uiard at the ou/er door
ud there was rattling* of chains
and bolts and a clash as the iron
gate wos shut.
“Well, Wash anything new’”
asked the Wizard.
“Yes, sir, you have or will have
a great aud powerful riva/, who
has a towering ambition to pose
befote the world as the Money
King of the West.
Mr. Gould's ruddy face became
pale- he clutched at Mr. Connor's
perspiring palh and besought him
not to agitate him urnecossarilly
when the weather was so warm.
Mr. C.'oooor tried tc laugh, hut the
mirth was too forced to reassure
his chief, who demanded the uame
of the catifT. When Mr- Connor
meutioued Phil Armour, of Chica
go, Ivir. Gould almost fainted.
“I will give him a whirl that
will make hint wish lie had stuck
to the butcher business,” muttered
the Wizard of Wall street, and
then he listened with knitted b.j.v
while his confidential clerk told
how Armour had recently been
elected a director of the St. Paul
Company, had investigated its
affairs, had come to the eoncl ustou
that its stock was too cheap, and
had resolved to enter the specula
tive arena in full t rmor
Wall street has aiready had tids
ings of this giant from the West
whose wealth has in recent years
reached such vast propotions that
the Chicago grain inaiket affords
too little scope for its use in specii
latiou. It was I’hil Armour who
was awarded contracts by both
England and Russia for millions
of cans of preserved meat when
those two nations were preparing
foi war.
“Little Phil" is distinguished by
a speculative intrepidity that has
H uccessfully engineered several
great corners in grain in the West
and should he bring tha/ same
audacious spirit to bear on the
Now Yoik stock maiket ihere will
be a revival of business unknown
in years.
Phil Armour is a member of
the First Presbyterian Church of
Chicago, of winch he is the social
and financial support, just as
Deacon Wb : te is to Plymouth
Church of Brooklyn. His wife is
a talented and beautiful woman,
