Women In Heaven.

The Rev. Dr. David Winters, without disclosing the source of his infor« mation, tells the Presbyterian Ministers’ association that the proportion wonfen to men in heaven is about three to one, possibly five to one. “If popular elections were, held-in heaven,” he adds, “and if there were woman suffrage, I am sure the women would win In the elections.” The preponderance of women is undoubtedly the reason why it is heaven. If they had their way on earth, it might be more like heaven. Their political ambitions have been frustrated because “most men are as lazy as they dare to be,” and it is easier to accept the social scheme and the governmental system as they, are than to reform them. Most salutary changes come because women grow restive under Imperfect living conditions for their families. They want a place for the baby to play and to breathe fresh air. They want a little room for flowers to grow. They want to get rid of needless noises and smells, of rubbish, of strong drink, of disreputable idleness., The modern woman- of the right sort is not satisfied to be a mere picture of prettiness; she wants to make her life count for its full valuer— Philadelphia Public Ledger.
