Bestow All of Our
Time Upon the
Fallen?

This very necessity to be worthy
of passing before the searchhght
of an investigating committee
would make such a social organ
ization desirable.
All this would necessitate the
expenditure of time, money and
effort.
But why not be willing to ex-
pend all these things in prevent
ing evil and in giving pleasure to
the worthy and the clean minded
and the industrious, instead Of
bestowing all our labors upon re-
claiming the fallen?
Why not be as willing to work
for the pleasure and happiness and
