Men should remember that their

respect. Coming home they must not
become irritated with those who. for
their sakes. have been kept within

with petty and monotonous, though
necessary. duties. Their home coming

who have been lonely and secluded

husband she should withdraw from the
society Of woman. Her husband Is
worth all the women in the world to

Husbands and wives should culti-
vate common interest. They should
keep together intellectually and spirit

Womsn's Responsibility.
Women who wear form revealing
and diaphanous gowns were denounced
last night in an address by DR.. William
Coleman Biting before an audience Of
$500 persons at the Sunday Evening
Club.
DR.. Biting who is pastor Of the Sec
ond Baptist church Of st. Louis, spoke
on The Hidden Man Of the Heart"
You women do not realize your re-
sponsibility." he said, "in appearing on
the streets Of our cities in dresses of
Partisan invention, apparently designed
for the study of anatomy. You don't
know how responsible you are for the
DEGRADED thoughts which arise in the
minds OF men on beholding such attire.
There can surely be no valid reason
for the so-called gowns Of the mode
You don't dress that way for a snow
storm.
Another evil of the times is putrid
literature. There is enough Of this
stuff sold in every city Of the world to
poison all their inhabitants
We must watch our thoughts il we
would live Alright. In the language Of
John Trap we can't prevent buzzards
from flying over our heads but we
can prevent their building nests in our
hair.
The great modern buildings are con-
structed from the inside. and you can
never make a skyscraping man unless
you build from the inside first All the
battles of life are moral battles except
those OF fighting cocks and pugilists.
All struggles through which man
passes are only the material expression
Of moral conflict in his soul.
The real object of religion Is to
reach the innermost circle of a man,
that hidden part of him known not TO
his friends nor his wife, but only to
himself. We come into life alone and.
in large degree. II we live truly we
live alone. You may sign alTrthe
creeds in Christendom, but II you
haven't learned to love Gods law and
to love your neighbor as yourself. you
are no Christian.
