And so new family would be organized
that institution ordained of heaven. The
unit OF all organized society.
And here am reminded of that old New
England minister who suddenly caught the
Idea one bright Monday morning, that he
ought to marry 4 certain woman in his con
gregation. So saddling his horse he rode
over to her house and alighting he went in
and found her that bright Monday morning
over the wash-tub. Quoth he; "BctSey it

And so it was done A new family was
organized
Now it is the Lords will that every

trious, frugal and virtuous young men
should marry.
Nowit all young men were such, and all
married, as the sexes are nearly equal in
numbers, It would come about that circum.
stances would seldom make it necessary for
woman to enter the struggle tor existence
in competition with man.
So ladies you will perceive that these I'M
fortunate circumstances. which We all so
much depore, are brought about Ivy the
Incidence, prodigality and vice OF many of
our young men.
An eminent Frenchmen, De LocQucville
think it was, visiting this country in its
early days, called upon the mother OF
George Washington, and asked her qucs-
ton which he expected would require
much time to answer,
He asked; "How did you train your
son 20 make him such man."
She answered: u taught him the laws

And why should not a woman command

And yet ia a rightly constituted society,
there Is more excellent way.
Suppose that there are in town five
thousand yirtuous, Intelligent young men
seeking employment,
Suppose that there are in the same town
FIVE thousand young women also seeking
employment, largely in competition with
the young men,
Now the more excellent way is for the
five thousand young men to marry the
young women and Withdraw them from
the labor market. Five thousand new
families will thus be organized, and labor
ers will become scarce Results there
will be be a rise IN wages and these
young men can well support family.
This is the more excellent way.
