A FE&RruL RISK FOR GIRLs.-Thc pastor
of church in one Of our large cities said
to me, not long ago: 81 have oficiatcd at
forty weddings since I oane here, and in
every case, save one, felt that tho bride
was running an awful risk. Young men of
bad habits and fast tendencies ncvor marry
girls of their own sort, but demand q vito
above, sttspicion. So, pure, sweet women,
kept from the touch of evil through the
years Of their girlhood, give themselves,
with all their costly dover of womanhood,
into the keeping of men who, in base aeso-.
cistions, have learned to undcr.vaiue all
that belongs to them, aud then find no
repentance in the sad after years There
is but one way out of this that can sec,
and that is for you--the young women of
the country-to require in associations and
marriage, purity for purity, sobricty for
sobriety, and honor for honor. There is
no reason why the young men Of this Chris
tian land should not be just as yirtuous 90
it's women, and if tho loss Of society and
love be the price they are forced to pay for
vice, they will not pay it. l admit with
sadness that not ell our young women arc
capable of this high standard for theul.
selves or others, but I believe thcre arc
enough earnest, thoughtful girls in tho
society of our country to work wonders If
faithfully aroused. Dear girls will you
help us, in the name of Christ? Will you,
first Of oil, be true to yourselves and God;
SO pure in your inner and outer life that
you shall have right to ask that tho young
man with whom you marry shall be tho
same3 The awful gulf Of dishonor is close
beside your feet, and in it, fathers, brothers,
lovers, and sons arc going down. Will you
help us in our great work2'
The KIND or RELroroN VIZ WANT
We want religion that softops the step and
tunes the voice to melody and fills the eve
with sunshine, and checks tho inpatient
exclamation and harsh rebuke; q religion that
is polite, defcrential to supcriors, courteous
to inferiors and consilerate to friends; re-.
ligion that goes into tho family, aud kccrs
the husband from being cross whom dinner
is loto, and keeps tho wifo from frettins
when the husband tracks tic newly washed
floor with his muddy boots, and makes tho
husband mindful Of tho scrapor and the door
mat; keeps tho mother patient when tho
baby is cross and amuses tho children al

besides paying them promptly, projects the
honey into tho harycst-uoon, and
makes the happy homo like tho Eastern

of tho ripcncd fruit. We WANT rclirioI,
