An Unappreciated Joke.—
By Editor
The SIGNS OF THE Times does not perpetrate many jokes, and the one here referred to was evidently not wise under the circumstances, nor was it designed as a joke. A correspondent wanted to know, “In what chapter can I find where it speaks about women voting in the last days?” and we replied, “The twenty-ninth chapter of Matthew, perhaps, or the sixty-seventh of Isaiah.” And straightway one infidel declares that this shows what the revisers have done in adding to the Bible, and others have thought we must have a different version. Of course, every well-versed Bible student knows that Matthew has but twenty-eight chapters and Isaiah sixty-six. The above answer was designed to say that the Bible says nothing about women's voting. It deals with bigger things. Its aim is to train citizens for an eternal kingdom.
