WINNIPEG, May 15.-The Rev. C. w.

speaking at st. Stephens Presbyterian
church. denounced local society in
scathing terms.
His attack follows closely on pulpit
exposures Nof social evils through the
Dominion. He said:
1T seems a strange thing that the
growth of wealth may have a great
deal to do in weakening the relations
of the sexes. You have a growth Of
those things which constitute an attack
on virtue. and you invite things that
make for shame and lust This is par
ticularly true in Winnipeg society.
Men Not to Blame.
1.-THE blame mist be laid on the mar
ried women of society. 1t is said that
the young men are to blame who are
found dangling after married women.
No man would dare, by any act, to sug-
gest what is improper to married wo-
man unless she gives the invitation.

III I had stronger words, I should

blame to them.
They are responsible, not our slums,

respectable ladies are responsible for
the decay Of virtue and the alarming
growth Of lust in our fair city"
