W fought England for th right to vot and God created maa la his own image Genesis first chapter Sdth and 27th verse and God aaid, "Let a make man in our image, after our like ness t and let them have domlnioB over the Aah of the sea, aad over tho fowl of tho air, aad over th eattlo and over all the earth .and over every creeping thing that ereepeth npoa the earth. So God created man la hi own image, in the Image of God created bo him male and female created bo them. "Aad God blesaed them, aad God aaid aato them," 'Be fruitful, and multiply. aad replenish th arth, and subdu itl aad have dominion over th fish of th sea, and over the fowl of tho air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.'" Where can th ant!-cuffragita get stronger proof thaa tho above that our Creator intended that both male and femnlo Bhould b equal la power on th earth.
