BaccaIaureate Sermon

The BaccaIaureate sermon de-
livered by DR.. r. III. Crossheld, of
Pennsylvania University, on Sun
day morning at the Presbyterian
Church was a most mastery eff
fort. Just thirteen years ago he
was called upon by Madison In
stitute to perform like office,
and it is a high tribute to his
ability as speaker that he
should again be chosen.
DR.. Crossfeld is a deep thinker
and presents his subject in terSe,
forcible style.
His theme, '"The Duty of The
Hour" carried with it a divine
message and one which will lin
ger in the minds of his hearers,
both old and young. He dwelt
at length on the magnitude of
our indebtedness to God, in liter
ature, science and art; on the fact
that every gift carries with it an
obligation and of our duty to re-
pay in some measure the Giver
of all gifts, by noble living; by
letting our light shine in dark
places and by filling our lips
with a message from on High
A beautiful feature of the exer-
ciSeS were the choruses under the
direction of Miss Thompson.

By the way, what has become

County Unit" when there was no

Dean Maitland was an uproar
compared with the silence of
these gentlemen at this jlfncture.
The belief that a large per cent of
the uproarious, hilarious prohibs,
were in truth, jug prohibs, is rap
idly gaining ground.
The whiskey interests very
quickly informed the public of
the places to which they could
deliver, and thus in a measure,
defeat the Webb bill. There are
several stations close to Rich
mond at which liquor can be de-
livered.
Mothers, are you satisfied with
the situation? Are you willing
to take the risk? The "daddies"
are too busy to give this matter
much thought.

CULTIVATION VS.. NEGLECT
Continued from last weekly

(OOntlnueQ rom last week.
Some of the causes leading to
the degradation of people in the
tenement district, is the croWdine
together of many small houses
with no proper conveniences for
the tenants. The tendency of
such croWding is to lower the
moral tone. However strong in
virtue a people may be under
proper conditions, budding them
together will sap the moral fibre.
Another cause of moral degen-
eracy, is allowing over-crowding
tenement houses. Sometimes
two or three families will occupy
one small house. This condition
is brought about by poverty and
by the total lack of proper appre-
citation of humanity by grasping
landlords who do not care for the
propriety of the thing, but who
want every copper a property will
produce. Those who can not
help it and those who do not
care, occupy such premises.
Sometimes in such districts are
located those places where men
and women, bereft of all decency,
are wont to congregate. These
houses more than any other
things, are the causes of much of
the humiliation and shame of the
human family, and when men
and women are Inundated and
their high spirits are broken, they
StOOp to crime.
Vice produces vice and when
virtue is surrounded by all that is
vicious, it becomes contaminated
and falls from its high estate.
1t is the duty of the city to
keep a strict surveillance over the
morals and conditions affecting
the morals of the people. Proper
sanitary conditions must be en-
forced and proper moral living
must be required. Children are
entitled to a protectorate and if
their parents from poverty are
forced to live in the abandoned
portions of the city, surrounded
by all that is vicious, the children
will be vicious, though the matur-
ity of mind of the parents may
keep them in the paths of honor.
But we should hold in memory
these very familiar words:
"Vice is monster of so frightful mein
AS to be hated needs but to be seen,
But seen too oft familiar with his face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace"
There should be a strict law
regulating tenements, requiring
proper accommodations for the
tenants. There should be a rigid
police supervision over such parts
of the city.
Houses of questionable charac-
ter should be closed and the in
mates driven from the city.
There is no such thing as "a
necessary evil"
Put a good church building in
such quarters, put a preacher in
charge who is willing to work
and in a months time the whole
moral tone of the red light dis
trict will be changed. Dollars so
invested will yield many hundreds
in the increased value of property
and will yield a thousandfold in
character and good citizenship, in
developing real men and women,
to take their places in the re-
sponsible positions of the bust
ness world. Neglected, theyt go
to the poor houses and prisons. b
