The sacred books of Zoroaster give women a higher place than any other Ethnic religion. Women are given the same religious rites as men, yet even here “woman’s first duty is obedience to her husband, and disobedience is a crime so heinous as to receive punishment after death.”[14] [14] The Vendidas. On the death of a chief in Central Africa hundreds of his wives are buried alive,[15] a sacrifice for his convenience in the spirit land. [15] Cameron. Miss Mary C. Collins, who has lived many years among the North American Indians, says, “The Indian is a religious man, and it is his religion that makes him cruel.” The story becomes monotonous. All non-Christian religions degrade women, and as woman is, so is all society. To-day the all-sufficient Christian evidence, is the immeasurable contrast between heathen and Christian society. “THE WORKS THAT I DO BEAR WITNESS OF ME, THAT THE FATHER HATH SENT ME.”――_John 5:36._ * * * * * Transcriber’s Notes: ――Text in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_). ――Punctuation and spelling inaccuracies were silently corrected. ――Archaic and variable spelling has been preserved.
