And ye'r. when it ••(.ities to a meeting <;f parishioners, they are not permitted. to either soealc or vote. The laity of the C Jtiich has been fighting hard to remove tin's anomaly; but the clergy is so wrapped up in ancient tradition that it denies the women common justice., The time is not far distant, we hope, when the clerical prejudices will be broken down, and the women of the Church willcome to their rights:.
