To TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The increase OF crime OF every grade and narne
has attracted public attention OF late. but not
think as 1t should DO. The administration or law
fails 10 suppress it, and the prominence given to 1t
IN the daily press tends TO promote It by inspiring In
depraved minds mock heroism which makes them
reckless OF consequences. Hence the boldness with
which men commIt murder, arson, assault and
battery and crimes against life and person. And
the proportion OF those who aro arrested and
punished for their crimes Is very small compared to
those who escape It Is natural, therefore, that
aside from ths ordinary interest which religious
people take In tile moral well-berg OF our city,
there should DC an unusual interest taken therein at
this time. And am glau to by the
HERALD or Tuesday, that tho religious press,
and especially the Methodist press aud people
are waxing ny to the necessity OF putting
forth greater and renewed efforts for tho
evangeHation Of the masses OF this city. perceive
by your article that the Methodist preachers have
had for a few weeks past ana st have, under DIS
cussion this important subject, ana wonld Ike,
therefore, through the HERALD, Which, presume,
they all read TO offer few suggestions TO theIn on
