One of the most curious documents in existence namely the sentence which was passed upon Jesus Christ by Pontius Pilate has just been brought to light by the Marquis deTrooff-Cauvaux.

That they include a goodly company of widely thinking and progressive women, as well as of many grades and shades of social life among their ranks a casual glance over the field will show. The women themselves say that they expect to number more and more adherents to their fayorite and chosen philosophy and code each yeTlie practical work which these women attempt and carry out is endless in form and variety, and runs all the way from lecturing to working in factories in order to acquire a real and personal knowledge of the conditions and trials which they hope to ameliorate and conquer.
