“LET ’EM ALL COME."

AYORLD’ S■, NEED OF AVOAtEN

PARSON CONVERTED

MELBOURNE, Oct. 19. Fanatical women were responsible for the death of his father, but the tide of circumstances has carried the Rev. AY. D. Jackson of the Baptist Church, Collins Street, to a belief in movements organised and conducted by women. He stated at the Baptist Conference on Tuesday that he had been converted. “In 1912,” he said, “some of the pioneers of women’s work killed my father, They flogged him with dogwhips on the Aberdeen station, thinking that he was Air LToyd George.' He died three months' later. He never got over the shock. The woman who organised that e.=icapado- was-killed the following year. She tried to stop King George’s horse, Amner, in the Derby, and she did. AVas it any wonder that, to my young mind, the women’s movement was a synonym for a lot of hysterical hags, hunting for limelight. - ' “The sheer force of circumstance, however, lias compelled me 'to revise my earlier judgment. It is a different sort of woman who is working on the job now. . She is much more lovable than the loud, -noisy, masculine type that disgusted- the public, with stupid violence and useless energy. The more feminine she is the more chance she has of getting her on. way. Let them all come! . i
