ALLOWED TO SING BUT NOT SPEAK IN CHURCH SHE IS SUBORDINATE TO MAN

The first day's synod of Virginia was spent with devotional exercises led by Reverend T.M. Spriggs, speaking on giving the work of God to all people. His committee was tasked last year to study the scriptural position of women in the home and church and their duties and came to some unsurprising conclusions, Order remains heaven's first law, and it necessitates the due subordination of the ruled to the ruler.

This subordination of women by divine appointment is, sadly, ignored or denied by "the women's movement." The home is the special sphere of a woman and indeed this is her throne. The church and indeed the scriptures forbid a woman to hold office or bear rule, lead prayer in a public assembly, and they command her to keep silence.

The scriptures teach what a woman may do in church, her home, or in public. She may sing in mixed-sex devotional services or in meetings of her own sex. The report was signed by all five clergymen and they remain unanimous on the women question, as does this newspaper, which suspects the natural order of things, even though we are men of science, first and foremost.
