You ask why more, sermons are preached
to men.- than to. women. I reply it is
43§01149e.won2eu are better than men. r do
not say thia in compliment, or in .spirit of
.oft. gallantry -for when. women are bad
they are dreadful- but as a statistical fact
which cannot be Controverted. They have
ewertemptations to outbreaking sin; are
naturelly more reverential eed loving .• it

they are are in the majority in the Church ou
-earth; and I isuppoee if yon should count
the women and children of heaven you
would heve vomited ' three-fourths of itfl
population. It is because men are in more
need of being preached to that I have.
given them the majority i. of aetmons.
