3798 — Women's Voting

By Editor

Please explain 1 Tim. 2:11, 12. Do you think it right for women to vote? Please answer through the "Signs." W. N.

In brief, we think it just as right for women to vote as men. If the privilege of suffrage has been given them, they have the right to exercise it as do men. Evidently the object of the apostle in Timothy, as in 1 Corinthians, is to repress immodesty and undue forwardness that seem to have been manifested among some of the heathen women who had accepted Christ. Modesty is becoming in a woman at all times, and a proper decorum is far more winning and effective in God's work than arbitrary ruling.
