are We Growing Better ?

There is no doubt but what the
churches are growing, and it cannot be
denied that the gospetis being preached
TO more people than atapy former period
of the worlds history; but it is not Ger.
tain that, with all the superior advauta-
ges which this age enjoys, the world is
getting any better.
If one will take the time to glance
over the world and see what influence,
control men, be will be astonished per-
haps at finding that even the so.called
Christian people are, everywhere,
walking in the counsel of the ungodly."
The ball room, the card table, the saloon,
the theatre, the race track, the circus,
which to the Christians of the earlier
days of the present century were consid.
cred sinful things, are more or less visi.
ted by protesting Christians everywhere,
and such is the low standard of the
church that it is rare thing for one to be
excommunicated, especially if he has q
stiff bank account and possesses influence
in the community.
There never wss time when 30 many
revolving crimes were committed as at
present; and what makes it so fearful, to
the contemplative mind, is the fact that,
especially in the. larger cities, the officers
of the Law are not unfrequently controlled
by The most vicious elements of society,
to the extent, in some instances, of put
ting the quiet and orderly portion of the
community in the power and under the
control of that vicious element.
To our mind the church of God is in
the midst of great peril and unless
there is q speedy return to these bolder
methods which in all ages have overcome
the wickedness of the wicked, spiritual.
ity, in the church, will ere long be a
thing of the past.
There is no. danger but what the
church will be strong numerically. It
was so in the days of our Lord, yet it
was the church of that day that cried
out: "Crucify Him Cruelty Him n
The church in these days, just as it
was in those, is very popular. It is
respectable to belong to the church.
People get into good society by joining
the church, and when they join they
want fine edifice in which to meet, aud
an eloquent preacher to tell them all The
sciences and the arts, and quote from the
old poets and orators Of ".ye ancient
days." and now and then, by way of
diversion, to pitch into Mormonism and
caDnibalism:;
We have good preachers, but is it not
to be feared that, instead of leading the
people to a higher life, the people-the
worldly.minded, theatre.going, ball.
going, circus going, saloon.goiug people
ARE leading the preachers down to their
level, and compelling them to walk in
the counsel of the uugodly? Reader,
what do you think of the signs of the
times

The Quiet Observer,
Where do worthless men and womer

Where do worthless men and women
come from?
From worthless homes.
This is probably the best direct answer
that can be given to this comprehensive
query, says the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette.
Badly reared children develop into
worthless men and women. This is the
rule. The exceptions either way are not
numerous.
Occasionally you find boy or girl in
respectable family whose instincts are
low and whose tastes are inclined to be
vicious. These are the "black sheep"
They are not uncommon even in the best
families.
Is there any necessity for these being
black when all the others are white?
In some instances there is because
some children are born with very low
order Of moral sense just as some are
born with very low order ofintelligence.
The greater number of wicked and
immoral men and women are such
because of defective training rather than
because of inherent depravity. They
have not had the advantage of an envi.
ronment calculated to develop their bet
ter natures.
This should be sufficient to show the
necessity of rearing children in such a
way as to encourage the development of
the moral facilities as well as the mental.
This will afford the surest protection to
society against crime and immortality.
How many of those who are interested
in providing for neglected children in
foreign countries ever think of those at
home who are really in more deplora.
bic condition than those who are epgag.
ing their attention?
What is to be done about it?
One way is for society to take charge
of every homeless child and provide for
its environment that will tend to develop
its better qualities.
Who are homeless?
All who are without the means OF
proper education and training. A house
and parents do not constitute home in
its true sense.
Let society take, charge of all the
children that are not properly trained,
whether they have parents living or not
1t will be cheaper in the end than to
allow them to grow up in wickedness
until maturity, and then board them in
Jail or warehouses. Besides, this will
decrease the number of criminals and the
amount of crime, and in the same ratio
improve society.
Something can be done by improving
homes, but as a rule those who have
gone 80 far to settle down to living care
less, immoral lives, are almost hopeless
They regard their children as accidents
and have no care for them beyond keep
ing them in food and clothing until they
are able to take care Of themselves.
What can you expect from home the
atmosphere of which is reeking with
profanity and yulgarity You would bt
surprised to fud purity and refinement
coming from it. These arc two of tht
most desirable qualities in men ane
women. Without them society would e
to sticks in short order. They distin
guish the civilized from the uncivilized
