Sunday was not large but representative.
Through the efforts of Rev. X p. John
500, Of kimball. the men OF this city ara
indebted for one of the best Address
delivered this season TO men. There
were men from all walks of life present.
A conservative man. one Of the foremost
men in this community, said: why 10
it We can not have these meetings often ?''
The address Was replete with tie eter-
nal titness Of things. The eminent iii
vine did not indulge in fancy nor figures
OF speech. IL WAS . talk 20 men about
hfe-inwsrd and outw ard life, mind and
matter and the relation of man, one TO-
the other and the women of the race.
Nor did he speak out OF the fulness Of
his experience 70 entertain the men, but

Continuing the speaker said: There
are three things that are booming the

The same standard for women should he |
the same standard men. The men are
not honorable themselves who will not
protest the honor of women. Society is |
burdened with waste-physical, mental |
waste. Men can not be morally clean |
and keep up two market baskets. Men |
can not be strong wasting their strength |
chasing the butterfly. A race Gao not
rise, when the flower of manhood 10 |
tweedled. There is great demand in |
loud and stentorian tone crying for RET
men.
Teachers ought TO be clean. live clean |
lives, because they have to handle the
innocent children. Doctors ought to be
clean, for they are intrusted with the
wives and daughter. Preachers ought to
be clean, for they are Gods manservant
The race ought to starve into uncondi- |
tional surrender men and women who are |
living q clean life.
Red lights or no lights. That is the
question men. In some localities they
have settled il satisfactory. Some call il
necessary evil. Men and women who
think il . necessary evil are many. Are
they willing To the tenderloin district t.

would have his daughter pr wife to 20

women. II il requires q sacrifice Of life,
