Book Description

Excerpt from Consecrated Womanhood: A Sermon Preached in the First Congregational Church, Portland, Oregon To those who have long lamented the prevailing tendency in Christian churches to deny to women the honors and responsibilities of sacred offices and duties, such a sermon as "Consecrated Womanhood" written by an American clergyman, is like a breath of fresh air in Neapolitan church-buildings that have never known the beauty of sunlight, and the atmospheres of which have grown heavy through the centuries with the oppressive weight of suffocating incense. The preacher opens his discourse with the statement that "the Bible honored woman when every other book was blind to the true dignity of her character."
