when the preacher took the opportunity
of making reference to the new police
regulation for depressing the custom Of
young girls frequenting the streets after
certain hours. lie took for his text,
the words Of Stephen, found in Acts VII,
CO.: "Lord, lay net this sin 20 their
charge" Mr.. Meeser considered that
the cause Of the existence Of the evil
end It's cure lies With the parents. The
police Of tie city are simply performing
their duty, as officers of the law, when
they carry out instructions and
make arrests The social conditions
that allow and call for the repression of
the vice are accountable for the exist
