''THE WIDE WoRLD."-1n opening his
lecture'on this subject, on Tuesday even
ing, Rev. E. V. Campbell remarked that he
should say nothing about the "Wiie
World" itself, except to express the pas
sing wish that we were all as good and all
did our work as we'll as it did. He would
consider some of the social phenomena
which we meet in the world. These phe-
nomena oil have cause; although the
habit is prevalent of attacking them covert
ly with sneers and sarcasm, instead of
manfully seeking the causes aud battling
with them. He took up first the ''Woman' g
Rights question. lie said he had no
stripes for woman--she had had her ''forty
save one" already. Neither was he an
advocate Of the ballot for woman believing
that it would bring to her no honor, as it
made now the face of honest men crimson
to feel that they were tools; and that it
would give her no additional power, as the
mass of those who now had it were power
less. He believed that woman should de-
mand equal rights of property-that this
was the real cause for the revolution which
was now going on. A wife had no legal
claim to the property she had helped ac-
cumulate; indeed she hn1 no claim to the
property she had held at the time of mar
riage, but was compelled often to see it
wasted by husband in wine and dissipa-
ton. When she wants a dollar she must
ask her husband for it. The lecturer be-
heved that every husband should, at the
end Of each year, give to his wife one half
of the profits of that year-not as charity,
but as her right This would increase he,
self-respect, would stimulate her, would
give her motive, would make her happier.
Every man should pay his own debts, and
every woman should pay her own debts
Woman is not paid the same wages for the
same work that man receives SIZE con gel
no credit, because she is not backed BY
property which may become liable for be,
debts. The lecturer quoted from DR.
Bushnell, an opponent Of woman's rights
in support of his position that men saw
and admitted the wrong that was being
committed, but did nothing to remedy it,
He said that if he were woman he should
demand this equal share in the property
and fight it out on that lin Q to the day o.
his death.
The second Of the phonomena considered
aud the cause revealed, was the prevalence
Of crime. He said our whole system Of
laws looked only to the punishment O.
crime, not to its prevention. When ,
wretch commits murder We hang him
then sink back and wait complaoently fo
another wretch to repeat the operation
We fll our penitentiaries with Grimm al
whs are kept there for season aud the,
turned loose upon society, still moved b.
the same impulses. As q remedy for thi
state Of affsirs he believed that about two
thirds Of the people living should not b.
allowed to marry. Children. through tn
sins Of their parents, are born into tn
world drunkards aud morally and physi
ca'ly predisposed to crime. The two pill
lars upon which society rests are, the youn
man, with all the amiable vices, but with
out vigor Of mind or body and withou,
healthful employment; and the young girl
who only understands tight lacing better
than she does dancing, who feels neither
fresh air nor sunshine, and whose mind il
fed on novels. The offspring of such pa
rents tend almost irresistlbly to evil. II
protested against the Lord being char get
with the early death of the children o
such-that He had made laws, the violatio
of which, moral or physical, meant death
Without q sound body, there could b.
neither sound mind nor sound morals
He thought that no false modesty shoule
'prevent our considering these stern fact
just as they are.

jeot which had already been pretty thor
oughly, discussed, was we'll received. tn
