The Life of Woman The spiritual rib As the soil of California is rich enough to produce gold, So the soul or life of the female is rich enough to produce the Wisdom of God. The life of woman contains more spiritual wisdom than is found in man. Women have more of the scientific element, Less of the animal. Man partakes more of the animal, less of the scientific. Women have more endurance and more patience to investigate any new science. And their wisdom is not of this world, but of that higher power called Science. But a female coming forward in public to advocate man's ideas Is as much below the male as a male who personifies a brute for the gratification of an audience is below the brute itself. The male creation feeds on the lower order of life. It makes the higher order a sort of pet for a while. The natural man sports and plays with the female. But man from some cause, probably from having more physical strength, and looking upon all things as inferior to his own wisdom, is not content to subject all the brute creation to his will, but must subject the very creature that his best life or nature adores, and in this way woman is deprived of carrying out the science that God intended. Now where is woman placed? Just where man puts her to satisfy himself. She has nothing to do with her situation, but she must be content with what man chooses to assign her. Where is woman's true position? As a teacher of the Science of Health and Happiness. This is what man does not want to do. It is too much like labor to toil over little children, and sit by the sick and take their sufferings upon oneself. The spiritual rib that rises from man is more perfect matter or soil, called "woman." I do not mean that "woman" means every female. Nor do I pretend to say that "man" means everything of the animal, but that the mind of the female contains more of that superior substance required to receive the higher development of God's Wisdom. For this element is pure love that has been purified by the change life has gone through. One of Doctor Quimby's women patients, an intensely interested student of his science, was Mrs. Mary M. Patter- son, better known as Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science church. She published this sonnet in the Lynn, Massachusetts, newspaper in 1866. "Lines on the death of Dr. P.P. Quimby, who healed with the truth that Christ taught, in contradistinction to all isms. Did sackcloth clothe the sun, and day grow night, All matter mourn the hour with dewy eyes, When Truth, receding from our mortal sight, Had paid to error her last sacrifice? Can we forget the power that gave us life? Shall we forget the wisdom of its way? Then ask me not, amid this mortal strife, -- This keenest pang of animated, clay, -- To mourn him less: to mourn him more were just, If to his memory 'twere a tribute given For every solemn, sacred, earnest trust Delivered to us ere he rose to heaven. heaven but the happiness of that calm soul, Growing in stature to the throne of God: Rest should reward him who hath made us whole, Seeking, though tremblers, where his footsteps trod." |
