Our endorsement OF the female private lee
lures of last week was based on several well
known names. and if we imposed upon our
readers it was unintentional and we regret
| it. The destruction of human life is a crime
| against God aud repugnant to every pure
mind. Feticide is criminal and no argument,
logic or persuasion, from whatever source,
| based upon poverty, hereditary disease, or
! what not, can relieve its degree of murder,
and the wife or mother who tries TO persuade
herself otherwise will leave a dark, sad stain
upon her soul. Nature prot SIS and God
condemns, and who can excuse.
