THE F0LL1EH OF THIS WO 31 AN
MOVEMENT.
A PlPCOrnSE BY REV. ROBBKT t.AlRI) COLLI BK,.
(The lecture that follows, delivered recently
in Chicago, and printed in a recent number of
the Ckrlnlian. ligitrr of that city, presenU
the truths of the woman ' emancipation" move
ment, as it Is termed, in a sound and forcible
manner. Every Rlrl in the land should read
this discourse, and learn wisdom, therefrom.
As for the wild-eyed, long haired "reformer,"
It Is possible that not even this trenchant argu
ment can affect their self-complacency, but all
manly men and womanly women will be de
lighted with it. Mr. Collier spoke as fol
lows: The woman movement should be cause ot
surprise to no one. The great wonder Is that it
has made so lit He headway. The most dillleult
sphere and duty to which any human being is I
born Is that of wife and metber. This I shall"
strive to make plain hereafter. It is in the
original intent and ordering of nature, and
every attempt to annul this intent and order is
abnormal and chaotic. The highest place, the
place of dignity and dlvlnest power, of which
we know anything In this world, is the place
where wife and mother hold sway.
WOMAN TO DO THB FINER AND PIVINIR THINGS.
Of woman life Is born. Man is of woman. The
life of the race is the gift of woman; is in the
keeping of woman. In Christian times it has
been ireely accorded to woman to do the finer
and diviner things things that pertain to the
spirit and character of the race, while man has
accepted the instinct of his sex, and grovelled
in the lower and material things. Mow, I say,
we are not to be surprised, as many seem to be,
that certain women seek to get rid of these ter
rible responsibilities, and take to themselves the
ways and works of men. I cannot pass freely
and of good heart into this discussion without
acknowledging that this movement Is not of the
feminine but of the masculine instinct. It is
unfemlnlne in its Ideas, in its methods, and in its
votaries. Women who have the sense of their
high calling of God; who are thankful to Heaven
every day that they were born women and not
men; to be the wives and mothers of men their
inspiration and crown of rejoicing, have little
afliliation with their ideas, the methods, the vo
taries of the movement. Those whom the uni
versal consciousness of humanity deem the typi
cal and ideal women are those who know the
secret of their celestial birth and prerogatives,
and wonld not come down from the height of
dignity, repose, and sacrifice, where by their
Jsex they are uplifted, to take duties man has
always consented to perform, and give up digni
ties which man, by his sex, is naturally and
eternally debarred from performing.
THE MASCULINE WOMAN UNFORTUNATE.
When the masculine bias dominates in woman,
that woman chafes at her physical sex, and
would prefer the platform to the nursery. I
impugn no one's motives; I state facts. A
woman so fortunate by birth, inherited tempe
rament, and moral habit as to maintain in her
nature the dominance of the feminine quality,
eees a higher sphere duty, influence in moulding
the intellectual, moral, and social life of her
family, her husband, her children than could
possibly open to her in Senate or on platform; and
if without these natural and normal surround
ings of the family, she need not be without a
circle of acquaintances where she can find ave
nues for the exercise of womanly virtues, and
avenues Impossible to the entrance of man.
TRUE TYPE OF WOMAN.
So I beg time and attention that I may, with
the spirit and words of admiration and serious
chivalry, assert that the truest women the world
over truest in that they are nearest nature in
that the type of woman is most lucidly before
their eyes are not responsible for the grossnejs
- and nnserlousness, the uncouth and impatient
ideas and methods of what is known as the
"Woman Movement. Certainly they will not
consent to be held responsible for the lax,
loose, and what I deem immoral sentiments
we are called upon by lady lecturers
to listen to on the matter of "Mar
riage and Divorce." These women lectur
ers pervert history and drag in Christ
and his apostles to sanction what is nothing less
than free-loveism, and in Christian ethics and
civil law would be termed licentiousness. I do
not misrepresent. I am too deeply serious in
this discussion to set up men of straw tor the
pugilistic purpose of knocking them down. Nor
do I mean to play the roleoi an alarmist. I have
no Intent to use frightful names to scare people
away from a dreaded truth or needed reform.
AVhea divorce may come about for
every incompatibility of disposition, I
cannot see how the question of time
can affect the morality of the matter. If people
may live together a year, and then separate,
with the sanction of the law, why may they not
live together in the sanctity of husband and wife
for a week or day, and then separate with the
approval of conscience, society, and God ? And,
in plain words, what is this scheme in its last
analysis, etrlpped of its flimsy rhetoric, but free
love and libertinism ?
WIFB AND MOTHER FIRST.
If it is said that prostitution exists any how, I
must say that I thank God that it is not with the
sanction of the law or the purest men and
women; and may Almighty God prevent it ever
should be! I return from this digression to say
that a true wife and mother is fulfilling the dl
vlnest, because most natural, functions of which
any woman is capable. She may write a book,
and speak with power from the platform; but,
if she regard these performances as her first
work, as her utmost gift, she is either unfortu
nate in her temperament or basely low in her
estimates.
WOMAN AS THB HIGHEST EXPRESSION OF GOD'S
POWER AND INTELLIGENCE.
The order of creation gives us woman as the
highest expression of God's power and intelli
gence. God made man, and man found himself
incapable, and less than a cipher in himself.
Man had faculties, but none above the plane of
reason, which doomed him to come to his con
clusions by the slow process of logic. Then God
made woman, when the first principle of mathe
matics was annulled twice one are two and
the one and the one became one, as In chemistry.
All the faculties of woman are above the.plune
of logic, not below it. She has fancy, imagina
tion, intuition. She knows without logic; she
knows because she knows; and her intuition,
after all, holds the lamp for the timid feet of
reason.
WTJMAN'S LOT IMPLIES PECULIAR SACRIFICES.
I concede, without debating the ground, that
woman's lot implies more and more trying sacri
fices than man's. But in this very element of
sacrifice I fled the highest and most patent
pledge of woman's equality, nay, superiority,
to man. Show me the greatest spirit of sacri
fice, and I will show you the greatest spirit of
life 1 Sacrifice is the most God-like texture of
the universe.
When a woman puts her heart nnder the pain
and aches of her infant, or endures these to
bring it to life; when she watches and waits the
coming of the prodigal child, and stands between
his sin and the father's anger, she is entering
into the Bufferings of tier Lord Christ, and doing
just what God did and is dally doing. So I do
not deny that woman's place Is hard. I do not
wonder that many are vexed, and chafe. I do
wonder there are no more. I am sure it is more
difficult to be a good wife than a true husband,
and I know there are more true wives than hus
bands. Shame on the men! I will enter, with
all my heart, the cry of indignation against all
brutal men and husbands. Man knows little of
the vicarious pity and griefs of woman; little of
her broken nights and weary limbs; uud he Is a
brute who would not share these to the outside
limits of his powers, and theu he could do bat
little.
SACRIFICE C'KI.ESTIAL.
But I return to emphasize the higher truth
that sacrifice id celestial; that there is a halo
about the crown of thorns; that redemption is
by blood: that peace is of struggle; that he who
Buffers most for others is most like the dlvlnest
men, most like Christ and God. Women who
do not understand this, but ought to, who do not
enter into their Lirher life, draw back their
fouls and would descend to the plane of men: 1
and my niont serious protest against the spirit
of the woman movement is thai we do not need
a race of women more like men, but just as un
like as possible. The times dcnund not Increasing
similarity, but diw imllarity. The world is not
starving for more politicians and orators, the
race will not die out or degenerate for laoR of
blatant stump speaners and platform tcrmasrnts
and scolds but when the race of old-fashioned.
sacilficiDg, devoted, contented wives and
mothers are gone, God pity the world if left to
the present set of women reformers! It is a
glory to the name and sex of woman that
good wives have moulded men Into good
husbands, and good mothers make good
children. The mother of Washington did
not go to Congress or manoeuvre an army, and
should you ak her to-day, ns she slumbers In
her grave, what she did for the world, she
would say, with a mother's greatest pride: "I
gave the world toy boy George." Yes, into his
veins was ponred her proud blood It was his
life of her life and Into his heart her noble con
viction of truth and duty. 8he did a mother's
full part when she wrapped her husband in the
hallowing glory of her sex, and clothed the
character of her child with her own charms of
purity and integrity.
TIIE BALLOT A DELUSION AND SNARE.
And what have I to say of the ballot ? This
that it is a delusion and a snare, a phantom ana
pretense. It is the remedy of quackery. It is
advertised to cure all, and will cure nothing. I
have no great objection to a woman depositing
a piece of paper in a poll-box on election day.
This is a small matter, but it is the eternal thing
beneath this, and the infinite thing above this,
which concern me. The wicked and senseless
thing of which this is born, and to which in turn
it will give birth: The disparagement of woman's
function by right of her sex. The ballot cannot
ennoble woman; it might degrade her. I am quite
sur e time will tell. The thing will come about,
perhaps in onr time. It may work no harm.
God prevent it should I No possible good can
come of It, I am sure. We already see the way
the wind blows by the straws. The women
orators, this year, are nearly all pleading for
what? greater purity and strictness in divorce
laws; for greater protection to laboring women;
for the elevation of fallen wemen; or even for
the ballot, that these results may be achieved ?
No. These are not the things these big, burly,
or fussy and declamatory womea are talking
abont; but marriage and divorce, and they want,
as the Irish girl said of the Universallst religion,
"the terms made very easy." And what is this
but nursing scorpions in their bosoms, which
may warm lor a moment and Bting to the death!
And this easy-going marriage and divorce can
work only harm, and that continually, to
women. And what shall we say of the offspring
of such people ? Have the boys and the girls
of such parents no rights ? Is no sacrifice to be
made on the part 01 the mother for them? I
incline toward the philosophy of the old
axiom: "You have made your bed, and must
lie in it.' It is infinitely nobler and diviner for
the woman to bear her griefs, if she is powerless
to reform her husband s manners, for the sake
of her children, than make them a public shame
by divorce, because of Incompatibility of dispo
sition. ,
MORE STRINGENT DIVORCB LAWS.
Instead of making divorce laws more lax, let
them be made more stringent, andperhips
young people will be less ready and swift in
making matrimonial alliances. If it is needful
to have more divorces to suit the state of soci
ety, then I should go In for curing the evil by
fewer marriages and better ones. It is pretty
neany time tnat our menus, the laay agitators,
had ceased huddling all men together as brutes
and tyrants. Men don't like to be called
such hard names, especially by such ladies !
Goethe says: "A noble man Is led by woman's
gentle words. May I add: "Never
reformed by her scolding and harsh ones ?"
Then, when we hear Itinerating married ladies
using such naughty words, we sigh and think of
that other saying of the great German's: "He
is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds
peace in his home." Good men, and no less
noblest type of womanhood, which the great
lucnter adored: "it me loving, closed neart or.
a good woman should open before a man, how
much controlled tenderness, how many veiled
sacrinces anu aumo virtues wouia ne see re
posing therein ?"
MAN DIFFERENT, BUT NOT SUPERIOR, TO
WOMAN.
A great tolly of the woman movement li to
suppose that man thinks he is superior to
woman. lie Knows he is dilterent, and believes
his sphere and duty, for the most part, are dif-
lerent; but oniy a 1001 oi a man thinks he is
superior, it these terms, equality, superiority,
and inferiority, must be used, then I. for one.
give in that woman is superior; that is, higher
by nature and in the functions of her life. I do
not know that I ever heard a sensible man dare
assert his superiority to his wife. The man who
succeeds in the world, and leaves to It a great
inheritance of fame or fortune, is be who has a
good and wise wile lor his nearest friend and
cous seller.
BALLOT CANNOT AFFBCT WAGES.
And, of course, it is a folly to suppose that the
ballot for women can attect wages for women
Wages cannot be voted up or down. This ques
tion is. and always will be. one of demand.
supply and efficiency. In this country we do
not want women to labor in the field, or as hod
carriers, or street-sweepers. We do want them
to enter every occupation where head and heart
are most needed. And as these are fewer
than manual and menial occupations, there
are more women seeking them, and so wages
are comparatively unremuneratlve. Here
the Federal, State, and municipal gov
ernments snouia set me example, and
cay women the same wages as men.
for instance, when employed as clerks or
teachers. Nor is it less a folly to suppose the
ballot for women will affect favorably our
morals. Pray, tell me, how ? Jean Paul says:
"The purer the golden vessel, the more readily
is it bent; the higher worth of women is sooner
lost than that of men." And this savin? all
observation confirms. Women are certainly
not less persistent and desperate in their
methods than men. Ana tne sort oi women
who are clamoring for ballots and rights are of
ringleaders, sports in politics, adventurers, and
dead beats generally.
WOMAN'S MOVEMENT WILL NOT AFFECT LEGIS
LATION.
I moreover believe it to be a folly to suppose
the woman movement will affect legislation for
the greater protection of the rights of women.
One of the ablest judicial minds and officers of
the country has recently said to me that the
laws of most of the States discriminate in favor
of women. A man has no right in the property
of his wife; a wife has a third interest in his. A
woman s property cannot be held for the debts
of the husband; the husband's can be held for
the debts of the wife. I think the laws of all
the States should be so changed as to make it
appear that half of all the property is the wife ,
and it is true that nine times in ten the hardest
earned part.
MEANING OF THB HOUSEHOLD.
But I must touch, lastly, the fundamental
thing in this whole discussion, namely, the
meaning of the household. Is it a nnlt, or so
many separate unities? Is it one, or is it many?
I premise this, to begin with: It is one, or it
will not survive! It must be one by affection,
concession, sacrifice, helpfulness, mutual and
loving understaudlng, or it is chaos, it is hell,
and will burn itself out, aid ought to. And I
have this to say, that Christianity, if that is to
be taken into tha account at all, lodges the nnlt
in the household, and not in the individual.
Stephanns and his household were baptized: the
jailer and his family were converted. And in
the family, as the father must stand for the
minor children, we can finally land at no better
and lejs wrong-working rule than that of the
present, where the father stands as the repre
sentative of all.
SOMETHING MORE THAN TALK NEEDED.
No, my friends, the good of working, and op
pressed, and low-down sisters is not the good
aimed at. It is only talk, and outwardness, and
conspicuous! ee s these women, for the most part,
want; and God knows the American peoplehave
enongh of them already. Women may lift up
me wnoie world to tnoir plane of life by the
most womanly of ways, of which the dear
Bchiilcr so grandly speaks: "With soft, per
suasive prayers, woman wields the sceptre of
tne me wnicn sne cna.metn; sue lulls the dis
cord which roars and glows, teaches the fierce
powers which hate each other, like frlenda to
embrace In the bonds of love, and draws to
gether what are forever firing asunder.
Honor to women! They twine and weave the
roses of Heaven into the life of roan. It Is they
that Invite ns in the fascinating bonds of love;
and, concealed In the modest veil of the Graces,
tney cnerisn careiuiiy tne external fire of deli
cate leeling with holy hands."
BILL OF RIGnTS FOR WOMEN.
And. finally. I file a bill of rights for women.
The first is the right to education: the freest
and fullest, and a popular sentiment concerning
it, that shall condemn, as a barbarism, every
cuuege anu university tnai dares to close Its
doors against the girls. Not Only education in
worsted, and music, and Chesterfield manners.
but in classics and science; and I believe that in
the coming times the girls will take the rrlzes
ana Honors.
I next demand for women the right of each to
be bereelf, and follow out freely the biis and
genius oi ner nature; to be author, painter,
sculptor, poet, doctor, or lawyer: and I demand
from women respect for the sisters who choose
to be dressmakers and bread-makers, who select
as their calling shop-keeping or school-teaching.
.ien, ior tne most part, accord them respect
now. ,
I ask for women the ricrht to work where
their work will tell best, and man's would tell
least. Wemen can redeem this city. Instead of
suffrage conventions, which are only opportu
nities for short-haired women and long-haired
men to deal in generalities, and for ventilating
an sorts 01 social nuisances. 1 would have women
call conventions to save their sisters from the
lusts and depravity of men. I call UDon these
reformers, men and women, to mount the plat-
iorm, 11 mat not genteeiest method is deemed
best, and plead for social purity and domostic
felicity and fidelity. Give over this fiction and
phantasm of the ballot, this unreality and
shadow, this hazy, cloudy sentiment, and get
noia on some real, tangioie need.
I conclude by demanding for women the dl
vlnest rights of the home. Here let her mould
the life committed by God to her keeping, and
wnen it snail come out into the world from her
ingenious hand and Intuitive heart, let it be
pure as crystal. Boys will not be brntes and
girls will not be drones when the mothers shall
all be priestesses at the high altar of God. Then
we snau cease to call lor lights, and all seek to
ao auty.
