These are spreading over the Chris- tian world, and through these the door of teaching is open to crowds, to almost all indeed who would bear a part in spreading religion. In like manner, associations of vast extent are springing up in our cities for the teaching of the poor. By these means, Woman espe- cially is becoming an evangelist. She is not only a priestess in her own home, instilling with sweet loving voice the first truths of religion into the opening mind; but she goes abroad on missi...ons of piety. Woman, in one age made man's drudge, and in another, his toy, is now sharing more and more with him the highest labours. Through the press, especially, she is heard far and wide. The press is a mightier power than the pulpit. Books outstrip the voice; and woman availing herself of this agency, becomes the teacher of nations. In churches, where she may not speak, her hymns arc sung ; the inspirations of her genius are 23 felt. Thus our age is breaking down the monopolies of the past.
