WV more generall we may look for beter Ssodal. and civic
conditions.
DssectNthese quesions'as we may, we are ~forcedAback again and
again to he.same conclusion:
MORAL AND RELIGIOUS TRAINING IN THE Family 10 &c.
sENTIAL,, AND JUST AS 1T is ,NEeLEcTEDAoo THESE EVILS IN.
CREASE. Fl
By civicevisswe refer to corporate greedSfnancial immortality and
official ~infdelityt asin the caseof thetnsurance crimes,and the group
of crimes broadly classified as graft" Lido notiknow,enouob of the
facts in the packing;house scandals to inchde them in this, generaliza-
ton, but, generalytspeaking, this class ofievil ishe to JACK OF
CONSCIENCE as applied to corporate acts.
Amman wintexcuse much in his corporation which his conscience
wouldNcondemn IN HIMSELF. CorporateA conscience ia negative
1t minimizes responsibiity,and multpies.andtmagnife excuses.
A rufmentary moral'sense will keep "a man from stealing his
neighborslgoods, butsthe moral sense must1 be teducated to see moral
wrong, sin and crime'n the acts of a CORPORATION.
There, has been of late a great awakeningAof what is called mbic
conscience. This has given, rise to much broad, liberal discussion Of
prevalent abuses and their causes, fixing thesresponsibiity and often
disclosing crimnalhy and is doing much to remedy those abuses and
bring business morality backito the point ofssafety. This is at least
my hope. believe can see.a decided tendency in that direction.
Public discussion brings understanding, and men who have been
blind to the wrongs of corporate crimes have had their eyes opened.
THEY NOW SEE MUCHs THAT'S THEY COULD NOT SEE
BEFORE.
Ibeieve the secret of thesgreat increase of suicides isldue to a lack
of religious training.
An awakening to the sense of responsibility o~verwhelms a man
whose moraAcourage hasmot been foaered by religious home training
He has otHheasustainingforce whicha sense of the sanctty of his own
obligations would give. This moral,cowardice prompts him to take
refuge in death from responsbiliiesiwhic he has not been trained to
assume andidischarge.
This Is business morality. SOCIAL MORALITY DEPENDS
UPON SOMETHING MORE. The family, which is the foundation
of society, is thesource to which we must look for its publication. The
great crimes andsscandals which are now exciting so much comment
can be traced directly to a lack of sanctty in the family relations.
Until the sanchty of famnyt is MORE RECOG-
NlZED [ see little hope for improvement.
The principal obligation of the family is the religious education of
the young, the Importance of,which is apparent.
WITH IT EVERYTHING MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED. WITHOUT
1T WE MAY HAVE GREAT AWAkENINes, WE MAY HAVE A GEN.
ERAL REVIVAL OF PUBLIC CONSCIENCE, BUT RELAPsEs WILL
COME AGAIN BECAUSE THE FOUNDATION is LACKING.

4 small audience greeted John
Griffith as King Richard the Third
at the opera house last night. y
clergyman once declared that actors
lived in an atmosphere of decep-
ton, and that there was required a
constant effort on their part to brace
up their moral nature against their
art There surely is no atmosphere
OF insincerity about John Griffith S
performance of King Richard the
Third His Interpretation of this
character is most convincing. So far
from being insincere, the actor puts
his whole heart and soul into his art,
and it is this fact that explains his
power over his audience.
Mr.. Griffith's support was not SO
good as his support in Macbeth.

very creditable manner. William
