Mrs, Jennie p, slsson, OF Wheeling,
introduced the topic, How Best Can
ve Teach Our Children to DO Pure"
Sue made these points;
|. Teach the children perfect obo.
diancs, The obedience Of to-day seems
to DO given as a favor rather than u
du,y. Do not wait until the child's
mind 10 partly mRtursd, but begin at
the very fret. AS a general rule what
the girl Is 90 will the woman be. Where
are tho little girls OF 'long ago."
ItisaS ad sight, that upon the streets
oil our cities boys and girls roam the
streets at night Make homes attrac.
tive, and thus keep the children from
the streets. Watch the books your
children road. Do not allow them to
read yeIlow.backed novels Tho No.
mans Christian Temperance Union is

Sho closed By saying: III order to
make our boys and girls pure, teach
them obedience, to read good books, to
shun bad company aud tho saloon.
The topic, IAN Equal Standard OF
Morals; How Can II Be Astatned?" was
TO nave been discussed by Mrs. Jane
Johnson, OF Parkersburg, but as shO
was not able to be present on account OF

Mrs. Jennie McClurkin, OF Michigan,
AID the president, Mrs, Morrow. The
ursiident was very severe in denounc.

which society views the sins OF the two

she referred to tho blistering disgrace
upon the nation Of the late trial VIII ich
took place some time ago, aud she was
glad TO know that there were leading
llwyerS who demanded the same code
OF morals for man az for woman.
Mrs. McClurEin took the ground that
this should be taught to the children
just the same az other truthsat Taught.
Teach the children to associate with tho
pure. She would have the young ladies
have q code OF morals high enough to
cause q young man to live at least an
honest life before he can associate with
them. Young ladies should put a pre-
MUM on their company.
The discussions OF these two subjects
created great excitement. Tho conceu.
IuG OF opinion, was that the very same
code Of morals should be enforced for
men as for women.
Promptly At 2:30 the %quartette sang n

Dr.. volney B. Cushing spoke some.

country a document which says: "All
men are endowed with certain inalicn.
able rights, that among these are life.
liberty and the pursuit OF happiness"
Taking these words US his text he said
he would proceeda at once 10 a discussion
Of the same. Anything that interferei
with either one or all OF these is wrong,

whether a thing is right is to look at
the results. II lying or stealing made
Ilciety happier and better, then lying
and stealing are right. This simpls test
teaches US what 10 right and what is
wrong.
We have the alcoholic drink habit

they arc right. II thoy Interfere with

are wrong. Il 10 no difference what our

any or all the Saints opinions are. Tho
results show whether they arc right or
wrong. The drink traffic may DO madO

devil will show himself. The drink
habit produces a moral malaria, in
which we arc forced to raise our child.
