When\r\nthis is done without dragging a man away from better employments,\r\nit is pleasant, and not unprofitable. Nor are women to be deprived\r\nof bodily exercise. But they are not to be encouraged to engage in\r\nwrestling or running, but are to exercise themselves in spinning, and\r\nweaving, and superintending the cooking if necessary. And they are,\r\nwith their own hand, to fetch from the store, what we require. And it\r\nis no disgrace for them to apply themselves to the mill. Nor is it a\r\nreproach to a wife—housekeeper and helpmeet—to occupy herself in\r\ncooking, so that it may be palatable to her husband. And if she shake\r\nup the couch, reach drink to her husband when thirsty, set food on\r\nthe table as neatly as possible, and so give herself exercise tending\r\nto sound health, the Instructor will approve of a woman like this,\r\nwho “stretches forth her arms to useful tasks, rests her hands on the\r\ndistaff, opens her hand to the poor, and extends her wrist to the\r\nbeggar.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_690\" id=\"FNanchor_690\">[690]</a></p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK III.","CHAPTER X.
