The Women Of Our Time.

not even go so far as to think that women should be on school-boards , though I feel sure all schools are improved by the aid , and counsel , and influence of women . Indeed there is no sphere that I know of in which woman ' s gentle heart , clear mind , good principlesand steady willmay not

, , be advantageously employed . For curiously enough woman carries with her a healing and a softening influence , which the ablest of men do not possess , and for want of which so many men , often the cleverest speakersfail egregiously here . Whenever

, woman appears on the scene , she seems to exert a goodly influence on all , though I have heard it said that clergymen , whether married or single , exercise more influence over female sunday-school teachers than clergymen ' s wives or clergymen ' s

daughters , or lady teachers . Why should this be so 1 What is the psychological mystery concealed beneath than fact , if it be a fact ?

Well , then , I come to this : " strongminded women are strong-minded women , " as the hesitating lecturer once observed , and as such have no doubt their use , and value , and blessing for society . Some of us may prefer the smiling and confiding angel , who has no will but that of her own adored

Thomas James . Some of us may appreciate the self-sustained , and modest and retiring home darling as our vision of all that is graceful , loveable and perfect in woman . Some of us may have pictured to themselves a beau ideal of what a woman

ought to be , and may not like to have it rudely disturbed either by the realism of the hour , or the personality of pretentious strong-mindedness . But like many other things here , like a shower of rain on a hot clay , like a good

frost after too muggy weather , like the sun after a fog , like in fact many other gifts , blessings and realities , a strongminded woman is a fact , and probably a necessity for our times , has her use as well as her importance for usand deserves

, to be treated with that respect and projiriety and marked consideration which her august status evokes , and her intense self-consciousness demands .
