DIR. BRoUGHERS SERMON.

| DR' DNOOplll'N y OI'NMoAN'
The following extract from tn
sermon of Dr. Brouglier last Sun
day is well worth repeating AM
deserves and will receive the mos
hearty endorsement of every law
abiding and law loving citizen o
St. Johns. The same words ar
just as applicable TO conditions il
st. Johns as in the larger city
Our officers deserve and should b'
commended for honest, eiiicien
work and Our citizens should no
be niggardly in expressing thei
commentator. II the coming gen
Grafton is to be equal TO or bette
than the present, they should b'
taught 30 love the law governing
the morals of the city, because IL Il
just, not to hate II because the,
fear the consequences of evil doing
They should be taught that the,
may not indulge in evil ways will
impunily, aud the only way tc
teach them this is to make the way
Of the transgrcssor hard,
We have all kinds of sympathy
for the young who may he led into
wrong doing aud would invoke the
utmost lcniency of the law IN met
ing ont his punishment; more than
this, il the culprit should show any
indications of repentance, would
beg suspension of the penalty. Blu,
for the man OF mature years, with
the full use of his faculties, who
violates the law simply because he
wants to, aud has little regard for
Il, except as To the disgrace which
attaches to his apprehension aud
punishment, we would like to have
sympathy, but cannot. lie is old
enough and has had experience
enough to know better, aud does
know better, than To violate these
laws, Then, the least that he can
do is to submit to the law, take his
punishment aud II he feels the dis
grace, not to repeat the oiiense.
The extract from Or, Brougher $
sermon reads: II want To COM
mend, for once at least. our District
Attorney, John Manning, aud his
deputy, G., {, Moser, for their en-
dcavor To close some OF the iuiqui-
tous houses in this city that exist
only by running young men and
young women | want them To
know that We are interested in
what they are doing and that we
expect ,hem to prosecute again the
husband OF Essie Watkins,
John Conrad, and not let him es-
cape because two jurors failed to do
their sworn duty in the last trial,
Eternal vigilance is the price of
virtue rs we'll as OF liberty, There
never was a time when felt more
like commencing those in office
who are enforcing the laws than
today But let the good work 90
pm, Let Judge Frazer make an
example OF a few young men and
women, and the boys and girls will
'ome to see that sin cannot so un-
| want to commend also
he newspapers OF this city for the |
stand they have taken in these |
moral questions, am proud of
'ur newspapers today, | do not
believe there Is city in the coun-
~ where the papers, take them all
II all, stand more firmly for the
OF law and the exalta-
ION OF morality and righteousness
II both public and private life.
'he overwhelming majority of the
'eople are in favor OF public aud
'rivate decency, They believe in
nj want a city in which the young
len and women, the boys and
iris, are safe. BY the strict en-
,rcement OF law against all places
/ immortality, we will make it
arder for our young people to do
,rong aud easier for them TO do
ght, We will have a city in
hich there will be fewer broken
earted parents as there will be
'wer OF our young people ruined"
