July 26.—The following letter, pur- porting to have come from Miss Helen Gould, has been given out by; the Rev. Elmer E. Huffner as having been received by him in response to a recent sermon advocating the exile “of “old maids” as “waste hu- manity”: Glancing over a newspaper I notice an item concerning your sermon on “Love, Courtship and Marriage.” One part of this I | especially notice, saying that old bachelors and bachelor maids should be isolated om an island so they could not hinder the | progress of civilisation. | I do not know why you make this statement, but I feel that it 1s a great injustice to the bachelor maids of our country. There are, I admit, many man haters in the world, but a great many bachelor maids are not living alone because they so choose, but because they have been unable to find a suitable companion. T must admit that I am speaking from the standpoint of the bachelor maid. I feel that such persons as myself are not hinder- ing the progress of civilization, but advancing it. If I had found 4 suitable helpmate I might have spent my money in a different way, and a way which might not have done as much good as it has. Please think this question over, and before preaching on this subject again make up your mind that there fs some good in living a single life. Bachelor maids the country over are arising in their wrath and saying things about the Rey. Huffner, who, when resigning the pastorate of the First Christian Church, preached a sermon on “Old Maffs and Bachelors,” declaring that all such were worthless to humanity and that he would like to ship them, bag and baggage, far beyond the northern sea to a lonely isle. if it were not for the dear old maide,” writes Miss KE. L. King of Monterey, Cal., “some preachers would be hunting for other jobs."* In addition to Miss Gould, who has given upward of $1,500,000 to good works, Mr, Huffner's attention 1s being called to such bachelor women as Miss Anne Morgan, prominent for her work in the interest of the Women's Trade Union League, the Big Sisters’ movement and settlement work; Miss Jane Addam: founder of Hull House, Chicago; Miss Jeanette L. Gilder, a contributor to con- temporary uplift through her lterary work; Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, English suffragette; Dr. Mary E. Walker, Migs Eleanora Sears, Countess Annie Leary, Miss Grace Strachan and such well-known single women of by-gone days as Forence Nightingale, Clara Barton, sfrances E. Willard, Sophie B, Wright, Rosa Bonheur, Louise de la Ramee (Ouida) and Susan B. Anthony. It was sald at Miss Gould's town house in New York that she was at her summer home at Roxbury, N. ¥., and that nothing was known of any letter written by her to Mr. Huffner. The preacher was quoted as saying: “Miss Gould is a noble woman, but her nobleness would be greatly enhanced were she married. I don't attempt to dictate what Miss Gould should or should not do. I can simply state what I think ts right. Miss Gould has done more for humanity than any other bachelor girl in this age and she can still do unlimited good. I have no doubt but that she will, but to me it seems that she could be of greater usefulness if she were married. WOMAN'S DUTY TO BEAR CHIL- DREN. “No woman has done her duty by the world until she has borne children. Miss Gould ts in a peculiar position because of her riches. She cannot be sure that she 18 being wooed for love alone. The only way to solve this problem is for Miss Gould to accept a position in the ‘backwoods’ incognito, Here she m find the right one, a righteous, indus- trious man who would love her for her true self, for her charming personality and not for wealth, “Miss Gould is to be admired for the good she has done. Her riches have handicapped her in the real enjoyment of life, and I dare say that she is not aa happy with her private car and maids as my servant girl. If Miss Gould wants twy weeks of real enjoyment, two weeks of happiness, let her disguise herself as @ waitress and seek work in a cheap old maids many of the children born into this world would not grow up. The old maids are and the Electa Harper, prominent in clubs, declared: “I think Miss Helen Gould is perfectly right. I regard Rev. Mr. Huffner as a good joke” Miss Gertrude Gordon sald: “You may | @s well put all the food in the world on a barren island as to put all the old ABSURD TO oiscuUss. PHILADELPHIA, %.—Miss Savah Tompkins, who works much along the same lines as Miss Gould, agreed en- tirely with Miss Gould to-day in proteat- ing against the sermon of the Rey.
