One Great Benefit Of Tliis Association I...
the attention of this Association , as it is closely connected with . the question of the industrial employment of women ; and with , a word
on this point I will conclude . In regard to this subject , there are two extremes of opinion
amongst us : some would seem to wish to make women as _indejDendent of men as possible ; others would contend that all
women ought to be employed in what have been called " homeministries . _" As regards the former theory , nature is too strong
for it as regards the latter , the necessities of our social state will prevent its being realized . But there is no need to enter
into that controversy here . The official employment of women in works of charity may be viewed either as an industrial
employment or a home-ministry ; and on either view it deserves careful and distinct consideration , and needs to be better organized .
"While I was writing this paper yesterday , I saw with great satisfaction as now under in active the Times discussion , in an here article the on following the employment sentence of — women ct It is ,
, strange that an occupation , the best suited of all for female agency , which , in foreign countriesis productive of the greatest blessings ,
, —the visitation and nursing of the sick—should enter so little into these schemes for the employment of women , and to the sick
might be added all those who are in distress , ignorance , and sin . " * Rev . J . S . Howson , D . D .

« Science Tells Us That There Is No Such...
« Science tells us that there is no such thing as a particle of waste in the natural world . Recent investigations have shown us that
the conservatism of force is as certain as the indestructibility of Blatterand the invariability of gravity . " Force is eternally acting
, _uj ) on matter , and its apparent cessation is merely a conversion or a translation of its power . " And what holds good in the material
world is also true of the moral and spiritual world around us . Why should we doubt the possibility of genius and love , reason and
imagination being likewise gifted with the principle of " eternal renewal" ? The noblest qualities of our nature cannot be called
into action without scattering rich seed behind . But just as in the physical world science can deal only with the effects of the
most sublime and mysterious laws , knowing little of their original * The suggestion has been made that some part of MrPeabod _' s great
tra gift tions _might of w women isely be . applied in securing for the poor the professional . y
