THE ENGLISH REVIEW. MARCH, 1849. ART. I.-Report of the Association for the Aid and Benefit of Dressmakers and Milliners. London. 1848. WE have not altogether shut the door of this Review against subjects connected with the improvement of the female members of the Church. On the contrary, we have more than once addressed ourselves especially to our female readers; and in pointing to the fair examples of saintly churchwomen of old, we endeavoured to provoke those of our own day to a godly rivalry in love and good works, hoping to see them tread in the shining footsteps of their great forerunners. We have had no reason to repent of these digressions from the sterner road of theological discussion; and would rather hope that we raised some sparks of pious emulation, some warm desires to reach a higher standard of Christian service among the daughters of the Church. But as in our former remarks we concerned ourselves exclusively with the condition and duties of the higher orders, we are now minded to step out of that high circle, where there is so much that is pure and good, and to descend, not only into the lower, but into the darker states of female life. We cannot content ourselves with showing only the brighter and purer side of the female portion of the community, while we are oppressed with the dreadful consciousness, that there is another portion in the midst of us which is given up to the advancement of the mystery of iniquity, which is undoing the work of God's Spirit, and is itself undone, which is hurrying in sin and woe to the fiery indignation of God. It makes the heart ache to think how many tread, and we may add, with unwilling feet, the way of certain death; how many, from the humbler classes, once daughters of the Church, are among the living instruments of the Evil One, and are entirely in his power; how many who have been baptized, are now serving devils and doing the work of hell ruined themselves, and now spreading ruin. We might wish to cast such a subject into the shade; we might like to pass by on the other side, and to turn away our thoughts from a question so full of pain, so beset by difficulties, so shunned, so feared by the over-refined and over-sensitive spirit of the age. But while we hear on all sides of the improved condition and altered temper of the Church; while we are congratuVOL. XI.-NO. XXI.-MARCH, 1849. B |
