Responsibility for Criminal Glasses.

Rev. Dr. j. =. Hawthorne preached at
GIOVe-AYenue Baptist church sunday
night on the subject, Where Shall We
Fix the Responsibility for the Criminal
Hawthorne declared that our criminals
are systematic. They are the boils and
carbuncles on the body polite, which In
dictate its fearfuly diseased condition.
They are the outgrowth of a moral de-
prQE1ty which covers the land rom
boundary 10 boundary" Dr. Hawthorne
pointed TO the lack Of wholesome parental
teaching, example, ana discipline as one
Of the causes which produce criminals
and TO the failure Of the pulpit TO do its
truth 10 human affairs. lie said further
that every man who is guilty Of any sort
Cf commercial or political fraud, or who
winks at il in others, or who falls 10
smtc 1t when ii is uncovered, IS respOn-
sible for the crimes of our country.
Discussing the remedy for this cOndi-
ton of things, Dr. Hawthorne said:
There must be reformation I'm the fam
ily, in the common schools, in the col
leges and universities in the editorial
sanctum, IN the church and IN the pulpit.
In al Of these places greater emphasis
must be given to the everlasting oistlnC-
lions which God Almighty makes be-
tween right and wrong There must be
a genuine revival Of honesty and honor
among the masses OF our people We
must build up a public sentiment that
viii make falsehOOds Infamous and that
will pronounce any sort OF dishonesty in
business or politics crime against coun-
try humanity, and God. Teach your
children that the tFuest patriotism is 10
90 right, and that the worst treason is 10
corrupt the morals Of the country. Teach
them TO hate the breath OF the drunkard
as they hate the stencil of the carnal
house. Teach them to dread the door Of
the gamblers Den as they dread the
gates Of hell. Teach them to regard the
political trickster as the worst of enc
mics to the peace and welfare Of his
country"
