Excerpt from The Leprosy of Miriam In the Jewish history of the Old Testament is found a people which has come out from an environment made hateful by generations of bondage, and has set its face toward a promised land of freedom. This Journey of the Children of Israel illustrates the progress of the human soul, which is to outgrow the bondage of the flesh and reach the freedom of the spirit. It is typical of the individual and universal development recognized to-day as the continuity of evolution, which, crossing the line of demarcation between shapes and souls, is to some time bring the highest species of the genus Man. In this Journey the people, though they have "triumphed gloriously, " are halted for a season through what befalls Miriam. For having "spoken against" Moses, she is stricken with leprosy and shut out from the camp, "and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again." The progress of the human race is limited by the development and position of its women. Naturally the perceptive and intuitive half of Man, woman's prerogative and possibilities have been obscured by the masculine intellect.
