This is the age of woman. She should receive the same
education as her brother and enjoy the same privilege; for all souls are equal
before God. Sex, in its relation to the exigencies of the physical plane, has
no connection with the Spirit. In this age of spiritual awakening, the world has
entered upon the path of progress into the arena of development, where the
power of the spirit surpasses that of the body. Soon the spirit will have
dominion over the world of humanity.
