The citizens Of st. Louis are as re-

other cities. These conditions grew up
gradually. People found that open pro-

mOralize conduct.
Can it be that with us the citizens
themselves have fallen under the same
moral blight as to the use Of their
votes? Where can the meaning of the
saying which one hears, that there are
more free drinks to be had in New
Haven now than there ever were be-

week and see If there appears to be
any connection. If there is, it means
that moral disease has not only threat
ened official stations where righteous
ness ought to dwell securely, but it has
already spread widely through the citi-
zens themselves.

be left here. The situation was suf-

Sermon of Present Day Significance.
"a Modern Instance in Morals" was
the subject of the sermon delivered last
evening by Rev. William ]. Mulch, pas
tor of Howard avenue Congregational
church. The pastor took the recent cor
ruption practices in St. Louis as the
instance from which he deduced many
political points and treated them in the
light of morals and religion. Local af-
fairs and conditions were alluded to
and treated in an interesting and in
structive manner. The sermon. in part,
follows, the text being taken from
Isaiah 32:17:
1.-THE work of right eousness shall be
peace; and the effect of righteousness,
quietness and confidence forever"
Nothing can be more disquieting
than deeds of wrong, when they are
forced back upon the doer in their true
light. Nothing can be more reassuring
in the calm confidence which it gives
than the consciousness of a clean rec
ord, which can bear the light and the
most searching test. Let us see how
the prophets doctrine of righteousness
applies to a case in morals which have
recently been made familiar.

st. Louis has gradually fallen into the
hands of corrupt men to such an extent

First, It is said without contradiction
that the same conditions exist in many

shake the faith of the people in right
