Much of DR.. Stough's lecture to
women only at the tabernacle this aft
ernoSn on "The Problems and Perils
of Womanhood," consisted of earnest
admonitions to mothers to supervise
properly the activities of their daugh-
ters. In emphasizing the Importance
of his subject at the opening he quoted
the following statement of DR.. Elliott,
former president of Harvard College:
''The lasting of the white race is
involved in the question of social evil.
We must remove the evil or the conn-
try will not be ruled by the race now
here. The family life of the white race
is at stake. The twin deceivers and de-
stroyers are ignorance and innocence.
They are the greatest barriers to
progress. They are the destroyers of
morals and health. "
AS the first concrete example, the
evangelist condemned the common
custom of parents permitting their
daughters to associate freely with
young men without a chaperon.
"What ism t for the girls mother
to hear isn't for the daughter to hear"
he said. "These good times, such as
walking expeditions, auto parties,
theatre parties, and consequent late
hours are all wiles of the devil which
have been spelling many girls"

sponsible for the epidemic or immoral.
