Chapel Hill, N. C, ) vj May 2C, 1379. f "We say No! most .emphatically No III And that not because they are not strong enough, nor smart nough nor pious enough $ nor be cause ! they would not .make crood preachers; nor because they have never beeu successful preachers. Hut (just because preaching public teach- ing is none of their business.. He by whose authority, and by whose authority only,- there is , preaching at all, not only never gave women this liberty, ";but he has expressly withheld it from them. I Now it must be remembered that this is no question about the equality of the sexes nor about ; woman's right to work for her Lord and Saviour, nor about her' being en dowed with mental and -bodily pow ers sufficient to gather, retain, and dispense the knowledge required by a public preacher. The question is simply Dhl our Lord authorize wo men to labour, as men labour, in the all important work of winning souls tor Christ t "To the Law and to the Testimony.", 'What say they ? For no one has a right' to preach "unless he be sent." Has God ever promised'to send out women as pub lic preachers in these times of' the Gospel;? Did our Saviour ever inti mate to, the women, who ministered to him in various ; ways, that they urarn tr ho nilhllO IirMfiellPrs fllSO V To quote, as answera to these ques- tions, the promise about our daugh ters and handmaidens sharing in the effusion of the Holy Spirit or the statement about the daughters of Philip ! prophesying, is in the lan sruage of the logicians, either "petiti prineipiV or "ignoratio elenchW It either dodges the question Derore us, or it takes for granted the matter in debate." Not only is it not recorded that theec exercises .were public, but we will show that these pt ophe- syings preachings, teachings, call them what you will, were not m public. The Holy Ghost never con tradicts Himself. The great princi ple for expounding the Bible is ' "No Scripture is ot private niterpie tation." Let us then notice the con sent of Scripture on this subject. We find in 1st Timothy, chapters 2nd and 3rd, a discussion by Paulf who told the Galalians that he was f an apostle not of men, nor' by man, but of Jesus .Christ' and God, the Fattier;' aud assured the Corinthi ans that he did "not preach the Gos pel with wisdom of words' of sev eral questions- relating to the public services and to the general manage ment of the Church.-: Noj one of the many injunctions there recorded, as to teaching, and ; preaching, , and praying, and ruling i in the Church ha the slightest reference to woman as possessing any bue' of; these func tions. On the contrary we read (1st Tim. 2: 11, 12,) ''Let the woman learn in hilence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over man ; but to be in silence." Can words 'be plainer? or better aimed at the question before us ? As we said be lore, this question is not as to capac ity or incapacity for a certain work, nor as to either social or ecclesiasti-: cal credit or discredit, nor as to equality or inequality in any respect whatever. It is solely a question as to function as to order, in the sanc- tnary and before the public, be tween those j who mav le in everv dther personal respect, unquestionaJ bly equals, i The Bible tells men what they are to do, and "it tells Wo men what they ate to do. The work ot either is indispensable to the! well being of Ihe other. So men arc suffered to teach in public and tivat for the good j of women ; but women are not suffered to teach in public anil that for the good of men, Thd are incomparable common measure. But as ho Scripture is of pvivateJ interpretation let us turn to another, equally explicit direction of the1 Apostle, who was specially sent la Us; (a en tiles, i In 1st Cor chan. 14 we find a; long and an exhaustive discussion ot the objects and j-elative! importance of some of the spiritual nriftsc vmrli nnnnnlnI, in A tm?f lin times. As to his conclusion respect ing them St. Paul- says, "It any mar. think lumselt to. be , a propbet, ot spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things I write unto you are the cpmmand'mcntof the Lord. But if any man be ignorant let him be ig-' norant'' Now, after having declared that "the spirits of the prophets are subject to the ' prophets," i. e. that no one, male or female, has a right toj preach merely because ; he feels like so doing the deliverance, on this subject winds up with "As .n aU churches j of the saints, let your. women keep silence in the churches.; for it is not permitted unto them to' speak ; but to be under obedience : as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home : for it is a shame for women to speak in church." Need any words be-plainer, or (more pointed 'i It will require the highest of the "High Criticism, for which Germany is famous, to overtop these ; simple"; injunctions. Tiie word translated "shame means,' they say, ."ugly" '"deformed," amis applied to things that excite disgust. The Bible, although it ! contradict ed by "the wisdoni of this world" declares that public speaking in the church, by a woma", is an "ugly" thing in either of the two fortns in which it can appear. It is "a defor mity" whether, used for giving or gaming information. A woman must not "speak out in meeting" either to teach or be taught. She may be as ifull of mattei as was Elihu. but. she must not "let out" in public. ; She' may be as hungry for knowledge as Lazarus was for bread 5 but she must not ask questions in meeting. jit should be observed that the in terpretation of God's word which we adopt depends entirely on "common sense" which however, some say, is commonly .uncommon. It does not dfjpend ori rare meanings of "words iti the original" nor on '"canons of Inspiration" setup by human author ity It does not wait for decisions on speculative points which some, nowadaysthink of vast importance, a (j. : Was Paul always inspired V Was his inspiration of uniform force and dignity ? Were his utterances to Ijbe universally and everlastingly aufhoritative ? ' Were his judgments warped by . his feelings and, habits as a bachelor? Was tie coarse and .V lifter in many . of his? teachings V tc &c.4 We have tried to inieiv pret God's word as we .would His worksso simply" and so consist ently that "the way -faring man, tho' a fool; need not err therein." Our conclusion to which almost all Christendom consents, is that "as the peculiar power and usefulness of women depend on their being tbe objects of admiration aud affection, any thing which tends to excite the. opposite sentiments should, ior tnat reason, be avoided." Q- -Queen Victoria has been in Italyj once before this spring. . It was when she was a slender, little girl with magnificent blende hair falling over her shoulders. , Perhaps it was the uieasant memory of her child- hood's rambles along the shores ot some of , those lovely lakes that caused the good Queen's strong de sire to revisit Italy in her old age. ) - a ...j We find connections and coinci dences, helps and succors.- where we rlid not- expect them.

As' he came out of the Capitol . at Washington, one fdayy seeing a frightened woman inf; the street, vainly striving to ward off the. attacks of a sportive goat, he gallantly, in spite of his years and office, seized ,the goat by the hprns. The woman thanked him wafmly and sped hurriedly on. Mr. play would have liked to move on also, uuu lue goat nau us; own vjfews about the interference with his inno cent amusement. As soon as! the woman's deliverer on the two horns ?oosed his jjold the animal rose majestically oh his hind legs land prepared for a cha vg;e. ,'iln Jtii s p wn defence Mr; Clav how' tnok theintii- inal as" before by the horns, and Ihus lor a tune tjiey stood, while a crowd of street boys gathered about im mensely amused at thelunusual spec tacle of a senator and a goat pitted the one against the othe'r in a public street. As lonn as Mr. Clav held the goat by the horns, - all was well enough. But the moment the quad ru peel was f ree cam e a fresh prepa ration for a charge.' . Not a boy of fered assistance, but after4 a whfle one ventured to suggest, "Throw the Billy down, sir." Mi Clay at. once caccej)ted and adopted the reporf ' of that I committee, and tripping r the goat up essayed to pass on. Before he could fairly turn away, however, the goat wasup. in. lofty preparation for a ne w charge!. Mr. Clay ; g.ive his enemy the floor ,6 r, the pavement once more, and, keeping hiui there, turned to his new adviser withthe question, "And wbat ' shall I do now ?"' "Cut aiid. run, sir," replied the lad. : CHRISTIAN "GIVING UP.1 It is a pitiful thing to see a young disciple going about and asking everybody how much he must "give up'; in order to be a Christian. Un fortunately, many of those who take it upon themselves to instruct hitn give 'him thej same impiession'.of Christian ; discipleship that it con sists chiefly of bgiving up things that one likes and finds pleasure in. But a man m solitary confinement might as well talk about what he must "give up" if he is pardoned Outof i)i ison; or a '-patient in consumption about what hei .must "give up',' in Or der to get well. The prisoner must give up his fetters, and tbe' invalid his pains, and his weakness these are ..the main things to" be sacr ificed. It is true that the one haS the priyil ege of livmg -ivithout! work, aud the other the privilege ot lying abed lall day ; these ar0 privileges that! mirst be relinquislied,- no doubt. And jso there are certain sacrifices to be made by him who enters upon the Christian life, but they are! "not Worthy to be compared" - with the liberty and dignity j arid joy f into which the Christian life introduces us and to put the emphasis upon this negative- side of the Christifm cxenenceKs so ' many m'e inclined to do, is a great mistake4i'rmf?ay Ajiernocn. j I ' J - ' - ' '' . - '; 1" I think the love of family aud kin dred grows upon us as we get along in lite. n easier.
