WOMAN'S PRIVILEGES 161
sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old
men shall dream dreams, your young men shall
see visions : and also upon the servants and upon
the handmaids in those days will I pour out my
spirit. . . And it shall come to pass, that whosoever
shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be
delivered ; for in mount ion and in Jerusalem
there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath
said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah
doth call ."-Joel 2 :28-32, ASV.

The apostle Peter, under inspiration of that
same spirit on the day of Pentecost A .D . 33, quoted
this prophecy of Joel and declared it was beginning
fulfillment that day . What "daughters"
or what "handmaids" prophesied that day or later
under inspiration of the spirit? Acts 21 :8, 9 says
concerning Philip the missionary : "This man had
four daughters, virgins, that prophesied ." NW
We can be sure, however, that at assemblies of
God's consecrated people these "daughters" and
"handmaids" did so with Theocratic deportment,
with heads veiled, with a sign of authority on
their heads. They did this particularly out of regard
for the heavenly angels who are "all spirits
for public service, sent forth to minister for those
who are going to inherit salvation" .-Hebrews
1 :14, NW.

In the apostle's day, and especially there in
the scandalously immoral city of ancient Corinth,
it was the custom for respectable women to go
so. Did women thus prophesy? With what deportment?
Why?
I . Need women everywhere go veiled in public today?
Why?
