"Miss Gould is a noble woman," he
said, "but her nobleness would be
eatly enhanced were she married,
iss Gould has done more good for
humanity than any ether bachelor girl
in this age and she can still do unlimit
ed good. No woman has done her
duty to the world until she has borne
children."
Commenting on the above the editor
of the Little Falls TraDscriDt says:
Some reverend gentleman of the west
(Colorado) has seen fit to attack the
place of the bachelor maid in life's
sphere. He asserts, with Miss Helen
Gould as the target of his remarks, that
she is a noble woman but that her
nobleness would be greatly enhanced
were she married. Also that no woman
has done her duty to the world until
she has borne children. Many wise
heads (women's) will take direct issue
with the reverend gentleman in his
stand. Woman's sphere is not alone to
be a procreative being and many, many
single women are today bestowing up-:
on the world greater blessings to hu
manity than are many of the married
ones, living in the "holy" married state
hypocritical lives and turning out into
the population channels inferior, un
healthy, ill-formed and unwished-for
specimens of being, who will later on
contribute nothing to the solidarity of
the race. Woman's mission on earth
is not completed by the duties of her
motherhood alone. As a clergyman
the man here referred to needs to
brush the cobwebs from his eyes and
view life from other than the purely
physical standpoint. He should seek
for an enfoldment of his own higher,
better, worthier spiritual nature and
get in line with present day ideas asihe
is fully 3,00u years behind the times, as
judged by his statements.
