It is very evident to the close observer that men and women the world over are more and more approaching a condition of equality. This is largely due to the changing state of affairs in the industrial and social realms. Women are entering in upon every line of accomplishment in the commercial world, and in the realms of art, science and literature. They have been driven into the world of business and industry by the harsh competitive system of the day, and having taken their position side-by-side with men in every other walk of life, it is the logical sequence in the trend of events that they should enter in upon conditions of equality in the political arena. This is certainly in agreement with what the Scriptures indicate will be brought to pass in the “times of restoration,” (Acts 3:19-21) the thousand years in which the race of humanity will be restored to the perfect conditions represented in the first man, Adam, before Eve had been formed from his side. Adam combined in himself the masculine and feminine qualities, and when Eve was formed for the purposes of propagation, the feminine qualities were incorporated in her personality. When the race has multiplied sufficiently to fill the earth (Genesis 1:28) propagation will cease and the members of both sexes will become as Adam was before Eve was formed. See Matthew 22:30.
