from those institutions at the lower
end of Main street, those poor women,

men, and sometimes even boys, the
remains of what might have been a
noble manhood, realize that it takes
men and women to run these institu-
tiOns, and that they do not last long,
and there must be recruits or the in

Such sentimental bosh-all you can
expect OF preachers and women!
Train up your children in the way thew

can not turn them. Yes; but some of
us poor parents can not help but be-
1ieve that we would feel safer as to the
destiny of our children; if there were

So you must excuse us; our faith is not
so strong as yours. As to the per-
