W. C. We may state with certainty ihe grade of civilization and culture of a nation can be measured by the so- cial standing of the woman, her posi- tion in the family as a mother and wife. 1If this is so, how high must have been the culture and stage of civilization of the Jewish people of Biblical and Talmerdical times! Wom- en in Israel, surely, were held in high esteem. The woman reigned in her realm, in her family circle, supreme. The wife was considered the man’s cqual companion, nay, bone of his bones, tlesh of his flesh, “and there- for s the passage in the Bible runs, a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife, and they shall be ane flesh, that is a unit, they both form one moral human being What graceful forms of the fair sex appear before us from the pages of the book of books!” What a tender, loving relationship within the family. homely, unassuming and at the same time grand and hearty.

Hannah, the real model of a good mother, is grieved, she is childless, she not comforted by the kind words of her beloved husband Elkanah, who her that he loves her more than Peninnah with her ten children. She cried and prayed to God for a child, and when God gave her a lovely child, the future judge and seer, Sam- uel, she delivers him up to the service of God with a song of thanksgiving to the Lord. Ruth, the proselyte, and Noami, the bereaved mother, how much love and devotion in their hearts! It can not be better expressed than in the words of the first: “‘Where you go, I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be-my people, and’ your God my God.” Is it a wonder that our Bible con- tains a “Song of Songs" devoted to love, a psalm that pictures in the form of an idyle the Hebrew family life like Chapter 128, a poem that describes the ideal woman in the most beautiful tinges as Chapter 31 in Praverbs! When Bileam beheld Israel dwelling tribe by tribe he said, “How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, thy dwelling O Israel!” Women enjoyed dom among the Jews. imured in harems but and openly with the the duties and amenities life, their faces unveiled Rebekah traveled on with her face unveiled, until she came into the presence of her afliianced. Jucob saulted Rachel with a kiss in the pres- cnce of the shepherds. Ruth ate to- gether with men. Women played no mconsiderable part in public celebra- tions; Miriam, the sister of the law- giver, headed a band of women who commemorated with song and dance the overthrow of the vptions; Jephithah's daughter gave her father a triumphal reception; the maidens of Shiloh danced publicly in the vine vards at the yearly feast; and the women feted Saul and David on their return from defeat of the Philis- tines with singing and dancing Women ionally held offices, particularly that of prophectess or inspired teacher, instanced in Miriam, Huldah, Noad wd above all Deborah, who also charge of the administration of public affairs and was therefore entitled be styled a “judge.” The odes of the lat- ter and of Hannah exhibit a degree intellectual cuitivation which is in self a proof of the position of the among the Jews in that period. Relation Betwees Sexes, The obligations of the husband and the, duties of man and wife were in favor of the latter. The husband is bound to support and maintain his wife much as comports with his dignity social standing. “She cends him but does not descend with him.,” that is to say, she is titled to all the advantages of his s tion in life without losing any which she enjoyed befare He must give her pocket-money who loves his wife like himself, ors her more than himself, and di- rects his sons and daughters in the right’ way, concerning him the Secrip- ture says, “And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace, and thou shalt visit habitation, and shalt not is not only a good maxim but a legal duty according to the rabbis. The husband shall not he imperious in his household He shall not afflict her .for God counts her tears. These and the following sayings of the Talmud are good evi- dence of the high esteem of the Jew- ish rabbis for women. “Whoever mar- ries a woman for money alone, will not have children according to his wishes,” “Every man who is without a wife is without joy, without blessing, without goodness, without a law, with- mother is considerable free- They were not mingled free- other sex in of ordinary 1y a camel the ocea public as took to of it- and with as- en- of these marriage He hon- thy e out protection, and without pPCa ;" “He who sees his wife die beror o has, as it wer, been present at the 4g- struction of the sanctuary IitséN, around him the ,eld grows da ‘He who forsakes the love of youth, God's aitar weeps for Biak= “Hold your wives in high respect, and hig vou will be rich,” “The wonme enough for t little from The perfect rifices by Rachel 1 Rabbi Ak wdmirable forc his hi lieze hen they ones wnd save their sin.’ self-denial an shand and there- 1.

Chananiah ben Tera- dian The Talmud tells us that bi Meir irritated at sults which he had received from some sinful men in his neighborhood, he uttered an imprecation agaipst them in the words of David: “Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more!” “You are wrong, my husband, such was not King David’s meaning,” was the soothing reply. “He prayed that sin might be consumed from off the earth, for then the wicked would be no more He sought the destruction sin, not of the sinners” Her seli-po: conduct at the twa lovely sons mated excused for his daughter the is like & \ches her to sin” when we will experiences that he the bluestocking n his sad his wife a almud re- heard Gam he from me, Imma the ' occasion her brother a thief, or on she to God is Tu to him summon she robbed me wken Rab- persecuting in- be of and admirable delath of her be overesti- ession udden cannot Beurial's Subtel It was the custom of Rabbi Meir to attend the school and synagogue for several hours consecutively, often dur- ing the whole day—and, during one of these long absences from home, his sons, boys of great promise apgd beauty, both died. Conquering the an- guish of a mother in the strong affeg- tion of a wife, who knew the passion- ate lave borne by the father for hig offspring, and dreading the effect of # sudden brief, she met her husband af supper with her usual calm and trap- quil mien. He naturally inquired fof his sons, but she skillfully evaded the question; and at the conclusion of the meal, stated that she had import- ant question to ask him, answer to which much troubled her. The rabbi encouraged her ta speak, and she related “that a neighbor had lent her soe Jjewels . of an inestimable value and now required them to be returned. Ought she to glve them hack Surprised, the rabbi replied, “that surely his wife needed not even to ask the question, the answer wase self-evident.”” Without rejoinder, she led him into the room where the bodies lay, and removing the white cloth which concealed thcm, reyealed their loss. She permitted the first burst of agonized grief, and the soothingly recalling his own verd touchingly repeated: “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; bles be the name of the Lora!’ Our daily blessing to God aid not make me woman,” ¢ other hand is not to be n utterance of spect to the and scorn f other sex.
