There is at this time, in most Of the
schools, less clashiDg between the English
and the German classes than formerly
owing to the fact that it has been go ar
ranged that pupils in any room belonging

A very large part of the fiction of
our day encourages this morbid senti-
ment. In many modern novels a
story of impossible Glove" is the
groundwork. Parties who cannot
be lawfully joined in marriage are
made the lovers Of the book. The
lntrlgues, crimes, soul-suferings, and
ultimate hai .piness Of the guilty are
wrought up in the exciting pages Of
the novel. Women read these books
more rayenously than men. They
feed upon them. Their effect is evil
and only evil, and that continually.
The number of ministers who have
brought disgrace upon the pulpit and
religion by vice fostered in the pages
Of fiction which weak women and
young people devour with morbid
appetite Unsuitable as the grave, is ev-
ldence of an enormous evil that de-
mands the best wisdom Of philosophy
and the highest virtue of religion to
arrest and remedy. But if there we're
not a novel in the world, though the
evil would be less, it would not cease.
Human nature would be what it is.
And given the same circumstances,
similar consequences will result. The
warning is to ministers and their ad-
miring parishioners. There is a line,
clear as a sunbeam, between right
and wrong. In christian communi-
ty there is no ignorance so blind as
not to see it. Conscience and COM
mon sense reveal it. Experience
shows its value. History ancient
and modern, sacred and profane, is
full Of illustrations. On one side of
the line is love, usefulness, honor,
peace and life immortal. On the 9TH
er side is secret pleasure, remorse,
shame, blasted households, tears that
God never wipes away, and damna-
ton just and eternal.
