Intercepting the fall of the drunkard
and weaving him from Intoxicating
drinks or preventing his becoming adj
dicted to them is wiser charity than
providing for him an inebriate' IS home.
Preventing pauperism is wiser than
building poor houses: preventing tha
loss of eye, or ear or organs OF speech
by scientific education than building
asylums for the MANNED and unfortun-
ate; preventing Magdalenism by hedg~
ing the ways to ruin than supporting
societies to succor and restore fallen
women. Wise custom, and timely
warning may become the switch which
directs the train to a safe destiny.
Why leave the ways of temptation
open without any warning, and offici-
ously, If not pharisaically, try to save
the victims of wreck which might
have been averted? If dancing, not
withstanding multitudes make it tho
first beguiling approach to ruin, is
continued as a social accomplishment,
let the stress of temptation be prevent
ed by carefully determining it's hours,
methods and companionships 1t is
absurd to. leave these to the cosnal
tastes of dancing masters, or to the
corrupt traditions OF the terpsichorean
art. Christian mothers. throug.l
prayerful deliberations, and corres-
pondence with mothers of other COM
munities, should agree upon some
limitations of hours, modes of enter
tainment and companionship they
would encourage in their homes, or
patronize in the homes of others. Tho
discipline of churches would naturally
conform to the views of her most cul-
tured and pious female members, and
thus the church might rear standard
to guide the unwary, and a shelter to
protect the exposed in every commune
