Women’s Place In Public Affairs Is Nothing New “Careers” Were Common Ages Ago—Bible Women Who Ranked With Men-Personal Travel Memories of Places Linked With Women’s Names.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS In our ingenuous ignorance, we have assumed that ours is the first generation to give woman a place in public life — forgetting Miriam and Deborah and Zenobia and Cleopatra and Catherine of Russia and Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victor- ! ia and a galaxy of other historical women. With somewhat of a jolt, our fem inists are reminded by the present 'Sunday School lesson that hack in apoetolic times there were independent business women, such as Lydia, and accepted leaders In community religious and intellectual life, such as Priscilla. The latter, by the way, has been credited by one ingenious theory, with the authorship of the i Epistle of the Hebrews. As a simple matter of indubitable record, women have occupied places of public leadership, in business. politics, religion and social lite, throughout all ages. The facts gave denial to the popular cliche that, “woman's place is in the home,” and nowhere else. Wo- ! man's place has always been pretty much whatever position she has been qualified and willing to hold. A Long-Ago Business Woman One curious fact always pops into my mind in connection witli Lydia. Paul's first European convert, and a business woman. That is the fpreslstenee of woman's comm rcial activity in her native city of Thyatira. It will be recalled that Thya-j tira was one of the "Seven Church ] es of Asia," addressed by John in the Book of the Revelation. It is' •an inland Turkish town; and when' I visited it. I was struck by the j extraordinary proportion of wo-, mere in the market place as mer-1 , chants. It seems as it today a large. part of the business of Thyatira is managed by women. i Lydia's line was Tyrian purple I ' dyes and cloth. That links her to [ I the interesting relics which a trav ( Idler may find outside of both Sidon and Tyre—the great heaps ! , of tiny murex shells, from which; the famous Tyrian purple was extracted. one drop from each shell. • This "was the royal color; and ini a robe so dyed, Jesus was mock j ingly arrayed at His trial. Because of the fame and value, of Tyrian purple, the trade in it 'had spread over the whole Roman’ i world. So it was at far Philippi that Paul found Lydia, the dealer ■ * • The International Sunday * 1 * School Lesson for September * ■ * 8 is: "Lydia And Priscilla; ’j * Christian Women in Indus- *, * trial Life.” —Acts 16:11-15; 18: • » 1-3, 24-28. *•*•*•*«••«•-***•*

in this precious dye. To many students of the New Testament, , Lydias name is the outstanding one in connection with the City s of Philippi, a case of a woman's ( stealing the fame of the city of . Philip of Macedon, and his greater i son. Alexander, conqueror of the world. I Let’s Go To Philippi! Nowadays, the rare visitor to j Philippi will hear more about tobacco, and the American market than about Alexander or Philip or > 1 Paul or Lydia. The once-great city is now a ruin, back of the thriving • tobacco port of Kavalla, once Ne-1 apolis; and only tentative archaeo1 logical explorations have been ■ made there. The river, by the side 1 of which the Jews had their place of prayer, where Pau! found Lydia and her women, is now spread out ■ into a marsh. But a young British I tobacco man told me that when • duck shooting on the marsh, he I had found the remains of the I i marble piers and embankments of ■ the ancient river front. In Lydia's ■ duy, the citadel hill, over which 1 ■ have scrambled, looked down on a ■ busy water front. i So it is not easy to reconstruct . the scene of that place of prayer by the river, to which the pioneer-, ing missionary. Paul, resorted, on i his second journey, as he carried . the Story from Homer's Troas into the west that is now Europe. Paul was a Sabbath-keeping Jew; and ,it was his custqpi always to seek [out the places of worship of his I own people. “Just A Bunch of Women!" Nothing very impressive reward- l ed his visit to the Jewish plac§ of worship in Philippi. He found only ’a little company of reverent wo-! 'men, of whom Lydia was apparently the leader. Competent in commerce, she was also, like most wo- I ! men, reverent in religion. i "Just a bunch of women!" a modern man might have said. Not ! Jso Paul. He preached to them as | earnestly as though they had been the assembled Church in Antioch •or Jerusalem. And Lydia was [ there won to Christ, along with [ I her household, becoming a baptiz- I led believer. i The first recorded expression of j j Lydia's faith —for. being an alert I and practical business woman, she had to do something about it — I : was in the form of hospitality, one ' of womanshood s highest capacities. ■ She constrained the apostle to [ abide in her home. That was her I [contribution to the effectiveness of his work. Lydia was, with Martha [and Mary, early in that long line! 'of devout hostesses who have en- ’ tertained the preacher. A Mixed Marriage Two women figure in this les ! sou story; and we must not let i

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRATSATURDAY. AUGUST 31, 1935.

bustling Lydia elbow out her greater sister, Priscilla, who was evidently a Roman lady, married to a Jew named Aquila, both exiled from Rome by a decree of Emperor Claudius. Behind the lines of the New Testament's allusions to Priscilla and Aquila —they are always mentioned together, though Priscilla’s iiame usually comes first, as the stronger character we may trace a story of romantic and faithful love. Theirs was a mixed marriage, The Jew winsome character to gain the love of this Roman lady. Both, however, were Christians. and there was no barrier of religion between them. As in Germany today, so in Rome of old. as often throughout history, the Jews were exiled and persecuted. Otherwise, Paul would not j have found Priscilla and Aquila in Corinth. According to a passage in the Roman historian Seutonius, Claudius, exiled Jews from Rome who were followers of Christus; indicating that long before Paul's arrival in the imperial capital, there was a strong Christian comI muuity there. One unanswerable reply to the ■modern ' view that Christianity is only a synthesis of existing pagan cults, with their rites and legends taken over bodily. Is the simple fact that, within less than a generation after the death of Jesus, i the Christian Church was so pow- ; erfully established in Rome that both Claudius and Nero persecuted it. When Nero made human torches of the Christian martyrs he shed light upon the swift, wide ! spread of the Gospel. Doubtless some who perished at his com mand had seen and heard Jesus in I the flesh. More Potent Than Editorials What workmen talk about as they toil has more influence upon i public life than all the newspaper I editorials ever written. This is l the most potent shaping force of public opinion. It was the shop i talk of Paul and Priscilla and ! Aquila, as they toiled together at 1 their common craft of tent-making, that trained the latter two in their high Christian efficiency. These two became powerful missionaries, as they moved from Cor*th to Ephesus and back to Rome. Their greatest recorded achievei ment was their instruction of ApolI los. a mighty evangelist, who knew I only the message of John the Bap-tist-even as the mysterious Sabeans, down Bagdad way, still proi fess to be disciples of John the Baptist. The work of Apollos suggests thoughts of the continuing [power of the rugged revivalist by the Jordan. It took intellectual I and social gifts of a high order on the part of Aquila and Priscilla to •win-a giant such as Apollos to the 'Way. But I can testify, from con tact with them on their fields, that i a host of later missionaries are so endowed. Lydia and Priscilla have count- [ less successors, who are today the pillars of the Christian Church. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS Adversity is’ the first path of [ truth.—Byron.

Humphrey Cobb, an American, sailed for France, a private in a Canadian regiment. In the spring of 1935, Humphrey Cobb, unheralded and unknown as an author, brought to the press a manuscript which caused one of those rare commotions that mark the discovery of a really important work. It is the story of individual livees, touching, human, and true —of men caught in a military situation of which those who stay at home seldom hear, but which must be [common to wars so long as there are armies to fight them. It has ; the power of simplicity, the great- ' ness of a universal theme. If this I I I novel with its terrific conclusion brings a lump to your throat, tears to your eyes, you are no less human than these men of whom Mr. Cobb writes.
