In a recent editorial of the Seneca
Journal the editor of that paper
some very opportune statements rel
ative to some i'll behavior in the ope-
ra house. We deplore the fact that
the opera house is not the only place
In which disreputable conduct has
been note4, and particularly the fact
that 1T was in one of our churches.
There is no use to dwell upon the
why's and wherefores of this kind of
thing; 1t is enough to say in this in
stance that 1t is not a case of "show-
ing their raising" as we are accus-
toned to say, but rather disre-
gard for the house Of God, wor-
shipping congregation, and an entire
loss of self-respect. We know for a
certainty that the home-training in
these cases is beyond reproach.
