Signs of the Times

with contributions from George H. Morrison, Evangeline Booth, Kerr Boyce Tupper

[From the North Carolina Christian Advocate, reprinted in the Observer, Charlotte, North Carolina]

Woman had little chance in the world before Jesus came. Yet she figures largely in the Old Testament. Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Miriam, Ruth, Esther, and a host of less conspicuous, many of whom are unnamed, occupy an important place in those ancient Scriptures. Hannah, as the maker of a great man; Ruth, as a passionate pilgrim at whose feet the world bows in admiration and praise; Esther, the uncrowned queen whose unselfish daring ever commands the admiration of mankind, occupy the front seats upon the stage of earth's immortals. Study the Bible with the influence of woman in mind and one will be amazed to find what God wrought through her in spite of existing ignorance and prejudice.
