We seldom hear the question which we have chosen; as quf tltler Not that r the Asters 'other.

The right of the ulsters to speak Is theonly one about which there Js 'any inquiry, simply because, if we except singing, it is the only form of participation : in our social meetings which they have taken into consideration. But why should they iiot pray? Why are there not as many sisters ready to kneel and ?lead the fpeopJe In prayer as to arise and, address it?
