* “Learning anything by asking their husbands at home,” cannot mean preaching, which is not learning, but teaching the way of God. It cannot mean being inspired by the Holy Ghost to foretell future events.

Such women would be only rit to “learn in silence with all subjection.” The reference is evidently to subjects under debate.

* The record of this lady’s labours has long been before the public. “English Hearts and Hands,” in a truly fascinating manner, describes the wonderful success with which those labours have been attended. Well has it been for the spiritual interest of hundreds that no sacerdotal conclave has been able to place the seal of silence upon her lips, and assign her to “privacy as her proper sphere.”
