A PLEA FOR MORAL ENLIGHTEN
NfENT
lDr Charles ri Parkhurst

tDr Charles II. Parkhurst.l
know of no such specimen of giarins
and brainless stupidity as to be spend-
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars in
this very city every year in maintain
ing Sunday schools, missions, clubs for
boys and girls. and all the parapher-
nalia of gospelizing effort. and yet to be
deliberately tolerating in our midst
veritable schools of Satan, which if not
taught by the devil himself. are run by
his understrappers on Fourteenth street
which amounts to the same thing: and
which are certainly putting an Internal
faint upon more souls every three
months than all our gospel machinery
we are saving to God and cecency in an
entire year. And then, what more fam
boyant style of idiocy can our churches
and missionary boards devise than to
raise millions for the conversion OF poor
sinners in India and Japan. and yet to
be making no desperate effort To close
up those mills of Satan that are grind
ing out their hellish grist here in our
own streets and under the droppings of
our own sanctuaries?
Our children. no matter what part
of town it Is they are living in. are
breathing debauched atmosphere.
They are being morally tainted by what
is in the air even tho not distinctly and
lntelllgently conscious of what is in the
air. "A malarlal pool may infest our
house with microbes even tho it does
not lie exactly in our own front door
The virus Is working into the children S
moral systems. and when, twenty five
years hence. they have become adults,
they will still, be what the subtle5deiile-
merts they are now exposed to are
making them. Soiled clothes can be
bleached white, but soiled souls can be
washed and rinsed, washed and rinsed.
and the stains still be left In them
could wish that for one year all our
churches might be closed. all our sun
day schools and missions suspended
and all our evangelzing money and eff
fort Withdrawn from the usual cham
nels. II in their place could be substitute
ed, uptown and down, a campaign of
moral enlightenm,gt sufficient to con-
vince parents, Protestant, Catholic and
Hebrem, that 50 far as the 5ciliidren
are concerned this city, as now admin
istere6 is the fore porch OF hell and
Satans recruiting ground from which
to fill up the ranks of the damned. j
know of nothing more appalling just
now than the inactive interest with
which host of parents are at this mo-
ment contemplating the moral situation
with which we are confronted.

[Chicago Tribune
Connecticut minister, speaking be-
fore a Methodist conference in session
an Brooklyn, was applauded when he
said the rule against dancing and card
playing was to blame for faling off
in church membership He said that
mothers We're keeping their daughters
cut of the Methodist church because
they feared the girls could not make
matrimonial alliances unless they at
tended dancing parties or card parties.
since all the eligible young men were
found at such gatherings. The portion
OF the Methodist discipline relating to
cards and dancing must be taken more
seriously in the east than in the
west. ChicagoanS have noticed no fall
ing off in Methodist membership from
this cause. Marriagable young women
have had no cause to fear that their
membership in the church would inter-
fere with their chances of finding hus-
bands. Nest of them do not feel that
their belonging to the church debars
them from playing whist or euchre or
from dancing. SO far as can be OBJ
sedved they attend card or dancing
parties quite as freely as they do
church sociables and prayer meetings,
ard II they do not find eligible young
mer a. the one place they may at the
other. The action of the last general
conference is leaving the old, rule in
force has had no effect on the social
customs Of the Methodist young people
in this part of the county They ignored
the prohibition before, and they do 80
still. Perhaps If an attempt were made
to enforceit the result might be similar
TO that which is said to prevail in the
east.

which at any time got point away from

prices was assisted by London's dispo-
sition to sell American stocks. The New
