DefOrmities in Social Life.

Rev. Myra Kingsbury delivered a lecture
Church, bearing the above title. 1t was one
of Miss Kingsburys best efforts, and has
been much commented upon. After giving
an excellent discourse upon the sins and de
manuscript and localized for fifteen min
utes. She said it was quite the custom for
speakers to say: "Of course nothing of the
kind ever takes place here etc. She said
humanity was much the same all over the
country Social deformities exist in Belfast
as well as elsewhere. Let a woman fall and
become degraded, and none are so hard with
her as her own Sex, while man may be
guilty of the same offences, and be receiv-
ed into society with open arms. This is not
right, said Miss Kingsbury; the sin is as
great in one as in the other, and should re-
ceive the same treatment. She spoke very
plainly OF many evils that exist here and
said she might be criticised, but felt it her
duty. Once young man came home from
college,, said the speaker, "and his father put
him to work clearing land. The young man
piled the axe vigorously and the chips flew
in every direction. Presently one struck the
father in the face. The boy apologized. SIT
is not your fault, my man., said the father
me, why am in the way that's all" ''Just
So said Miss Kingsbury, ''you have callet
me to the work, and if any of my theological
chips hit you in the face, it is because you
are in the way Her lecture abounded il
truths, and was very interesting.
