In all that belongs to the welfare of the race, she has both rights and duties. There are bounds to the exercise of reason upon ail quesuons subject to discussion as relates to all principles which can only be compre- hendedbyJthougMttUaDd-philosophic- al investT gation. To reason correctly, the standpoint or premises from which we would deduce ultimate facts must be strictly correct; and the chain of reasoning must be strictly followed li nk by lin; 10 nna ultimate truth. Man's finite powers of reasonaieonly correct when tney harmonize vdth th infinite to w his whole life and being' tend., The fact that the earthly snrTTTkenessof the heavenly the temporal in likeness of the spiritual, is a standard to which, all reasoning must conform to abide the test .of truth ; the key that Un v locksjthe my stery that lies Jjeyond, and makes it simple truth to the understanding of man, ; L It is in view oQh omy as revealed to man, 'that I would consider what are woman's rights.

The question of woman's rights is extensively and seriously before the public and should be candidly and considerately answered. To my mind it is one that should be answered from a than that of mere political conhigher stand-poisiderations involved in that of woman suffrage.
