a scathing editorial In the Central
Presbyterian this week deplores tho
bondage Of society to the fashion OF tho
day ard incidentally makes q tremendous
onslaught on "Parsifal.' tho Wagncrian
opera. which has Just been produced In
Ncw York.
The Central Presbyterian declares that
Ii is both shameful and piuful to see the
POWER which tho fashion OF the day can
have over those who have made It their
guide IN life. Nothing can stand in the
way of fashion-nclthcr duty nor revcr-
ence, modcsty. the counsel OF friends, es-
5tab!!shed principles OF conduct, even the

b"Eew York society gave an example
Inst week that was conspicuous sail
this paper. Society was half wild over
a play In which there was not only ln,-s
lily, but a gross profanity OF tho
most sacred things Of our religion. The
sacrament OF the Lords Supper was pre-.
eeuted on the stage. and the blood ol
Christ counted an unholy thing Can
these New York society people know
with what Indignation and contempt the
snher classes OF people all over The land
regard them and turn from them
Continuing, tho Central Presbyterian
says that all independence OF character
IS surrendered, all settled principle OF
morals and manners are ignored In this
race after fashion. Character Is weak
ened and corrupted and there comes de-
cline IN all things. pure and lovely and
OF good repute, and lost reputation.

"If the world says young woman
must risk her lie In her exposure TO the
cold on winter night. no caution Is OF
any avail. II the world says she may
drink what she ought not to touch nor
handle. or play cards with prizes. the
cyclIence is without question.
