ECCL. 7: 1.-" A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one's birth." Wisdom is surveying lif~, and giving its best retro· spect. The thought which has entered this judgment is the righteous, just, temperate, and loving care of God. A life . spent in satisfying the pleasures e>f sense alone leaves nothing of value to the "pilgrims of night," for it passes away like a shadow and is gone. The greatest heritage that can co~e to the children of menan inheritance that they should administer jealouslyis a good name. As to other things we can carry nothing out of this world, but good character, like the ancient embalming, forever preserves a good name. The "name" which wisdom here mentions is that which has acquirement of reputation. This is suggested by the second member of the text. The old application A224 4 J �-------- ~- wou1d have limited it to one who bad won fame. Evidently reputation is to be the outcome of character ju t as the perfume is associated with the nanl. The tbings in comparison are the good name which a11 delight to honor, and the fragrant odor of the good: i. e. precious ointment which a11 enjoy. But more than this. Names of the great and good have a diffusive power, subtly and incisively in vading our spirits as their golden deeds are told off, and become signs to the world that earth ba3 souls of heroic mould. Then we are athrill with emotion as our so uls thus catch better insight of humanity. The correspondence is in opening the box of delicate, pure and costly ointment, the odor thereof filling the house. How comes it that the day of death is better than the day of birth? Solomon may have meant that life's vexations, toils, temptations and trials were thus at an end. This is the justifying consolation that we give when our fellows depart hence and are no more seen . The passing henee is undoubtedly merciful relief in many instances. But life's issues are varied and diverse, and to most of us life, in its purely temporal aspect, is the sweetest and closest companion of thought. There are but few to receive Solomon's words. Possibly they are designed for the few. At an earlier stage of his life he would not have written them. They came out of his 2 �~- experience. He may have been touch ed by a gloom of apprehension whi ch sprnng from ignorance, an ignorance that was done away in Christ our Lord. Th at life does not cease absolutely is knowledge which Christ's religion bas fixed in human minds. It is true that th ere is as yet no test of experi ence save that I point you to Jesus Christ, the Great Exempler, and those recorded cases who were subjects of his power. In the spirit's return to God, the ancients did not know th at to die is gain. In view of acquirements attained from a 'Nell ordered and well spent life, may th ere not be a sense in which the day of death is b ette r ~ As the three score and ten years come on, our minds contrast origin and decline, . infancy and age. vVhat prodigous issues ani involved. The advances of time disclose two pathways well worn, and leading up to these issues. In moral aspect th ey bear the names of good and evil. Yet th ey are not so absolutely distinct as to be two.separate paths. Rather, to the eye of discernment, th e individual walks in two planes, the subject of two kingdoms. God, ·in his goodneEs and mercy, furni shed a guide-board for the journey of life, and prophetic of the parting of the ways : Reject the evil; choose the good. Behold the key to the good name that is better than precious ointment! Such was the high animating principle that guided Amelia Jenks Bloomer through her womanhood. Born 3 �--in Homer, New York, May 17, 1818, she removed from her native place at an earl y age, and after a residence in two other Yill ages in the sanle State, durin g IV hich her life passed through girlhood to young womanhood, she :fin ally came to Seneca county. She was little aware of the destiny that awaited her, and of the probability that th e precin cts of her new clwP.1ling pl ace were to become the theater of events in which she wo uld .I lay the part of leading character. On bet· mother's side slie inh erited a trend toward an earnest and positive religious bent. This was sup· plemented by the moth er-love instilling into th e child those principl es of belief in things supreme which become a part of moral fibre and the basis for action. The one avenue of woman's employment from time immemorial, the public school, she seems to have eschewed . This may have bten owin g to possession of talents for larger and higher educational fun cti on: talents which fo nnd sur.cessfu1 trial in a happy and peculiar relation of gov erness in a family with three children. This relation was termin ated for another and more sacred bond, she being join ed in marri age the twentysecond year of her age. Her married life began at Sen. eca Falls, New York, where \Vas lVIr. Bloomer's home. In the beginnin g of the decade of years which are known as the 'forties there were gathering forces of a 4 �-- ----distinctively moral movement whi ch had for its object the regeneration of society. Re-proclamation of an old trnth in new form took aggl'essive phase of agitation against tlie evils of intemperance with a view to lessen them. The instrument empl oyed was the ever truthful . and laudable agency of moral suasion. In due time there came into the purview of such as were enli ted heart and soul in this noble effort, the additional agency of suppression by means of legal enactment. This fir t and new demonstration gathered momentum nn til 1856, when it seems to have spent its force in electing Myron A. Clark, of Canan daigua, to the governorship of New .York. A glance at the early endeavors which led to the uph eaval of society and had a wide spread effect for good, enables us to .see the sway of the agitation in that part of the state where dvvelt the honorable. ubj ect of this memorial. Th e movement bad taken form in the concrete by virtue of an organization named The Washingtonian Society. To the influences of this society we are indented, indirectly at least, for the n e\~r firmam ent which spread above this land in woman's emancipation, and for its bright peculiar star, Amelia Bloomer. This came about in a simple and matter of fact way. Local societies, of which there was one in Seneca Falls were doing their specific work. lVIr. Bloomer was' 5 �already in the newspaper field as ed itor of the village press. To bis editorial duties be joined the duties of maintaining a paper called the " \Vatel' Bucket," as the organ of the local society. Another element came in the shape of a religious awakening. following the \Vasbingtonian movement, and growing out of it. 'Whil e the ail' was rin ging with eloquent words of precept, there was forced upon the mind that which was eq na1ly eloquent, viz: personal example. Mr. and Mrs. Bloomer were bapti~ed and .confirmed by Bishop Delancy iu the parish church of Seneca Falls in the year 1842· Henceforth, to the rationale of the movement was added the religious motive. In response to her husband's earnest and per::i uasive appeals to ''lend a hand," she mod estly and even re· luctantly contributed articles to the paper. ·with repeated protestations she complied with oth er demands. She did not desire to reveal her identity as her contributions became subject to favorable comment and ·wide quotation. She hid he1·self under a round of names, now masculine, now feminine, in order to avoid publicity. But behifld them th ere ,~ias a personality that could not be hidden lon g. A keen and powerful mind, and brimming sentiments of a vYoman's heart, intense and moving, came to the surface. The flashing of a bright pen, tempered and pointed as a Damascus blade, was 6 I . I �probing its way to the forefront of discuf:sion, and into the vitals of oppo'-ing argum ent, and lo! a woman stepped forth into the arena, a champion of woman's side in the conflicting controversy ! ·with her life boat thus pushed out into th e current of this mental activity, and thrown upon her own resources, latent powers came to her support. These were re-absorbed, again developed , and carri ed on to renewed struggles. It is surprisio g to note how resolutely, and with what eminent capability she met the varied demands of true sentiment, sound judgment and business tact. She had great regard for the principles she ad vocated; for her self re8pect as an ad rncate; and for her pledged or promised word. Thinkin g that woman was capable of originating an enterprise, that she had capacity for conducting it-her ruling passion was to show to the world th at woman could do as woman, be accountable to self, and had the right potential, to do what she could. That she esteemed woman a responsible creature is indicated in the manner in which her paper, "The Lily," was launched upon society. A woman's temperance club had planned the paper; the president of th e society had named it; another was appointed editress : Mrs. Bloomer to be associate; the first issue to appear January 1, 1849. A woman's convention which 7 �had assembled in 184 , in the village, and the fil'st on record, may hav e stimulated the project. But as the time approached to undertake the issue faintbearteclness clashed the scheme. Not even prospectuses and money received could stay the retreat. Mrs. Bloomer was left alone. Her own words are: "My position was a most embarrassing one. ·:(· ·::· -: - ·: - I could not o lightly throw off responsibility. There 1·vas no altern ati' e but to follow the example of the others and let the enterprise prove a miserable failure as haLl been p1·Pdictecl it would, 01· to thrnw myself into th e work, bare my head to the storm of censme and criticism that would fo11ow, and thereby make good our promises to the pu hlic and save the reputation of the society. It was a sad, a trying hour, for one a11 inexperienced in such work: and at a time when public action in woman was almost unknown. So un prepared was I fo r the position I found myself in, so lacking in confidenee and fearful of censure, that I withdrew my name from the paper and left standiu g the headline: 'Published by a Committee of Ladies.'" vVitb such splendid courage, integrity, and determin ation, we can almost pred icate in advance the emin ent success which attended this effort during a period of six years. · The study of woman's condition incident to aggres· sive measures against intemperance and thedirect appeal to woman's sympathies, without doubt widened the B �scope of vision. That woman often stood in need of iudependence was enforced cogently. Havin g succeeded in a limited temperance work and become useful agents in lifting the burde ns of sistel's, the idea of relief in other directions followed bard apace. Some of these burdens were of woman's own pl acing, some were forced upon her by the inequalitie of law, and others were in deference to a wrong public opinion. The power of th e Press did not suffice fo r the complete extensiou of the mms which the woman's association bad in view. The human voice, than which there is nothing more potential in moving us, was now raised to make the battle cry of reform more effective. Th e last wonder of th e wol'ld bad come- fo r woman appeared as her own advocate. Amelia Bloomer bad gathered strength and reliance for a new phase of her work. She more deeply realized that she bnd to cope with other evils than the horrors of intemperance. The rising questions were still more diffic ult from their inherent nature and th ere being no public sentiment to support them. As the issue co nfronted her the same di trnst of self, yet the same unfaltering courage and devotion to a cause prepared her for th e rostrum as armed her for the eclitress' ch air. She had faith in the justice of men, and believed th at Goel was on her side. She overstepped mere c<mventionality, not that she spurned 9 �good, but to show that conventionalism is sometimes a tyrant, and harmful. She could brave the strictures of public opinion, kno win g that it is not always right. But that she could do this does not indicate that there was no cost to herself, or that the cruel arrows of ridicule ·when proceeding from unkindness did not reach tender sensibilities. Had she but her own glory to seek, or were it but a vain notoriety in order to puff up the mind, she could not have bared her head to the storm " which a canvass of woman's rights and woman's wrongs brought upon her. 1' It is for us to learn the lesson of her life, that, conspicuously, she was unselfish. A conviction had come to her-may it not have been true in spiration ~­ that what was wrong in practiee might be righted by ,_ promulgation of true principles. She had the courage of her convictions, if ever anyone had. Like a true reformer, she had to furnish the principlr.s aud disclose the facts upon which they were based, in order that correction might obtain. That ·which sent her to the principal cities of her native and adopted St.ates, and to cities far beyond; to legislative halls; to the use of her trenchant and vigorous pen, was love for her own sex. To win for one was gain for all. It was a doing for others all along. vVhat though abstract justice, statue 10 �like, could point the index at inequalities. There was no voice to awaken and plead! In this part of her career she was as eminent a success as in the other. She was mistress of argumenta· tive persuasion, and could turn the shafts of opponents with consummate skill. Th e extravagance of rhetoric into which excited feelings are prone to lead a contro· versialist, she met with good natured repartee. It may be said that she was advance comier of " temperance literature," her sprightly contributions being original matter, and in turn becoming texts for other 1vriters and publishers. She bad other helpers in creating a literature of woman1S rights, notably Mrs. Stanton, who was one of others who accompanied her on a tour of lectures. Her contention as to woman's place was that she is created man's intellectual, moral and spiritual equal. It certainly would have been derogatory to the Almighty Creator to have bestowed on man an inferior partner for life. Genesis discloses to us that the word for man and woman is the same, save that a feminin e termination is added to the latter. The true rise of woman is centered in th e Incarnation of our Blessed Lord. From that time the dawn of woman's elevation has been breaking into a cloudless sky. Mrs. Bloomer rightly caught the gleaming light in attributing to that august event a possibility for the broader and higher 11 �sphere of woman's action, "With this she was wont to silence Old Testament quotations of opponents, and for that matter, the handlers of New Testament writings which referred to a condition closely approximating the ol d order of ignorance; the enlightenment of Christiani ty not'· then having bathed the nations. She never countenanced levity respecting the married state, or suffered the intrusion of degrading theories respecting the domicile of home. Her interpretation of a "help" meet for man ranged along the high lines of being a help in a11 that man does for the good of the world, self, and actions that bear frui t of moral freedom. Whenever she was asked to teach about woman's sphere, she complied , as being a ca11 to duty. Not Jong ago she related to me a thrilling adventure which I am now able to see in a more characteristic light. A certain and constant solidarity of character becomes apparent at every turn. Duteous devotion: regard for promise, and personal bravery enter into the exploit. She was to lecture on " W,.oman's Education" before, and for the benefit of, the Library Association of Omaha. I fi nd the story transcribed in her " Early Reco1lections." " I so well remember that trip to Omaha. It was in the winter. The'river was breaking up, and when I reached it I found the ice :floating and no way to get across except on a fiat-boat which had to be po1e<l. I feared 12 �to place myself upon it, and came near turning back. But I remembered my engagement and saw a carriage waiting for me on the other shore; so with many mis· givings, and reassurances from the boatmen, I ventured on board, and was landed safe]y on the other side. ii· * But if I ran a risk in crossing to Omaha, my heart fairly stood still in cominiS back. A high wind was blowing, and V\ hen I reached the ri ver I found it fill ed with great blocks of floating ice that endangered any boat it encountered. 7.· i+ ;;. Thel'e was no conveyance over except a skiff rowed by two boatmen. Th e fiat-boat could not he managed in such a gale. The skiff was in clanger of bein g swallowed up by the high tossing waves, or struck by the great cakes of floating ice and capsized. Th e boatmen at first positively refu sed to take me into the skiff. Th e man waiting 'could go,' they said, 'but the woman must be left behind.' I thoqght of my danger in embarking and being swallowed up by the waves, and I thought of husband and child awaiting me at home and no one to care for them; then I asked why I could not cross as well as the man. 7<· * ·x- Then I said: 'If I will promise to sit very still and not stir, can I go?' The gentleman interceded, and on my promise I was allowed to get into the boat. I sat in the middle of the seat and held on to each side of the boat, and I am sme I never stirred a musc1e, or winked an eye, or hardly 13 �hreathed, while those brave men guid ed th eir boat over the tossing waves which seemed to engulf us at times, and anon bore us on their tossing crests." The reference to home yearn ings is a sid e light which illumines the whole backgl'ouncl 0£ her public career· Ardently devoted to her mi ·sion, and re ponsive to its imperious calls, yet she was not a Mrs. J elleby of Bleak House. She eared for others, near to her as well as remote. Adopted children have taken the Bloomer name, and other young have found a home beneath the hospitable roof. A woman engaged in the active enterprises of life was a new thin g under the sun. Beneath th e royal occupation of Queen rege11t, or that 0£ gifted authorship, or bein g a "Sister 0£ Charity," the lines 0£ woman's work were few, and greatly limited in the world outsid e 0£ hom e. Amelia Bloomer was a pioneer in woman's emancipation, and, as falls to the lot of th e pioneer, she had work to do which succeeding generations reckon not, and of which successors in the field have never felt th e sting or the deep intensity of the striving. Th e first faint, far off echo has swelled to thund er tone as today there goes over the land a call for th e Second Triennial Meeting 0£ the National Council of Women, which was foundedon the fortieth anniversary 0£" thefirst organized demand for equal education, industrial, professional; 14 �and political rights for women, made at a meeting in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848." It is given to but few to realize the effectiveness of consecra)ion to a work like that lVIrs. Bloomer undertook. Rarely does one see the rich results of a contention so manifol<lly difficult. As iron sharpeneth iron, so has been the clash of minds. Imaginary barriers have gone, and a rigid conservatism, strong principally by reason of inherited tendency, is suppl anted by a rationale of woman'ssphere which has made occupation for t.housandfl. She who was both prominent and eminent in bringing this result ought to be an object of their everlasting gratitude! Mrs. Bloomer also he1d the relation of pioneer to this Parish. On the two registers in my possession the first woman's name is hers. On my journ ey hith er to assume the restorship I visited by the way at my former home in Michigan. There I first learned of Mrs. Bloomer from a gentleman whom I met in a college connection while I was an undergraduate. He was a former resident of Seneca Falls, and informed me that in my new home I would mr,et a unique and striking person in 1VIrs. Bloomer whose eat·ly days were associated with a rAmarkable career, that she was now living quietly, ill health having 15 �compelled her to forego active duties; and that she was now advanced in years. Our arrival here was signalized hy becoming guests in the Senior \¥arden's home. In this we did as all the clergy bad done befo re, for no other home in this city bas been the hospitable a. ylum for so many of the cloth. Among ourselves the happy disci·iptive of'' Saints' Rest" has come in vogne. From Mrs. Bloomer that pleasant smile, which often had to triumph ovei· bodily ailment, was my greetin g. This s1JOwing of hospit1dity was in keeping with her ambition, whicli she frequently sacrificed to her personal discomfort. Going bnck to a view of. the early days, we are prepared now to forecast her activity in church affairs. Such a nature could not sit by with hands folded. Following her acceptance of gospel privileges through which she came into this church, she immediately entered into parish acti\ ities at Seneca Falls. Being a woman of action, she did her part in the th en somewhat limited sphere of woman's church work. Little as it may have been comparatively, it was another demand upon her already enl arging engagements. Her removal to this city deprived her of the worship of her own church. The then line of demarcation of the religious public into "Mormons" and "Gentiles" very 16 �likely infused into the Jatter a fellow sympathy. Soon after her settlement here the Rev. Mr. Rice invited her to altend a meeting of a sewing society '~'hic h was held at his house. This happened to be the annual meeting; she was elected president of the society, and a Mrs. Douglas first director. In her "Eal'ly Recollections" her fe1icitou comment is this: " Thus putting their affairs in the hands of two Episcopalians." But evidently affairs did not suffer at their hands, for they "carried through a successful fair" which secured money to put the first church of the Congregationalists into shape for use. Her usual interest in what concerned her came out in th e organization of this pari h. She entered with th e same characteristic zeal and expen diture of means into its upbuildin g, both as to what was preliminary and also permanent. She has been a good example of wbat woman can do, and faithful in her service. The women of this parish have work ed so assiduously in raising money that a.mong men it has become a lost art. In spite of advanced years and impairment of strength she responded with her kindly support to my call for organization of a Woman's Parochial Aid Society. Her kindness to me was ever constant and uniform, and her disingenuous frankness such as I always enjoyetl. Plain and albeit of rugged candor 17 �in her speech, such is better for this wor]d than the honey covering of deceit. A former Rector, the Rev. Mr. ·webb, writes respecting her: "My impressions of her kindness of heart is that it never failed; and I believe more £rm1y than ever that it was God's own cause which she so characteri stica1l y espo used, and ]abored so long and faithful! y to promote." She had the habit of clipping from newspapers whatever took her fan cy. Her recent quiet and somewhat a:ffiicted living, owing to her illness, was given to reading, needle work, and entertaining of guests when circumstances admitted. As the golden clouds brightened in the west of her life's decline, there came a strong in ward faith. A late clipping seems to speak her thought: ''As the weeks and months fly past, do you not think that the spirit of our daily prayer ought to be : "Break my soul from every fetter, Him to know is all my cry; Saviour, I am thine forever, Thine to live and thine to die, Only asking More and more of life's supply. " She passed into paradise on Sunday, December 30, 1894, and left a name worthy to be entered among the illustrious galaxy of notables whom the past year has numbered with the dead. On a beautiful winter's day, 18 �all that remained of mortality was brought to this church, so large an object of her affection, and here, with impressive fun ereal rites which speak comfortably our blessed hope, we committed her body to the ground. And as the sweet notes of the committal anthem broke in upon the constrained stillness of th e scene, how appropriate were the words-mutely echoed by the hushed assembly-: "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, ·:(· ·:<· for they rest from their labors." 10 A224J4 ��� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
