MEN AND WOMEN IN THE KINGDOM

FOR both men and women, there is a place in the kingdom of God. Though they neither marry nor are given in marriage, we may depend upon it that God, who never makes mistakes, has a place in the higher state for the companionship arising out of the natural and radical differences between men and women as constituted in this preliminary state. This is one of the sweet secrets we wait to see disclosed. Meanwhile, they stand related to the same rules of admission. Each must be faithful to Christ in their several spheres. The man must be enlightened, believing, courageous, trustful, prayerful and obedient; and the woman must be no less in her more contracted circle, aiming particularly at those active, multiplied, repeated, and untiring good works in the Lord which obtained for the sisters of old the approbation of the Lord and the praise of His apostles. Thus may both earn for themselves a good degree which will shine forth with glorious lustre in the blessed ages that are to succeed the present evil world.
