A most startling revelation Of facts
concerning the social conditions of

of hundreds and thousands Of young
girls. Rev. Donald NJ. Grant, pastor
of one of Cincinnati's most aristo-
cratic suburban churches, has made
an extensive and careful study Of the
vice conditions of that city, and
therefore speaks with authority.
His lecture will be illustrated with a
large number of stereopticon views
taken by himself during these inves-
LEGATIONS. In company with others
engaged in rescue work he has gone
into the houses of shame in order to
lift up the unfortunates. The lecture

themselves with the real conditions
confronting, not only the great cities,
but the smaller towns and even the
country hamlets, should not fail to
hear the man who knows.
