| In the midst of the mad rush for
| pleasure. so called. both sinful and
lawful, when the whole world seems
to be going mad; when woman, who
was given to man as a helpmeet, has
utterly forgotten her true vocation in
numerous cases, and is bringing dis
grace and dishonor on her sex by the
way she conducts herself, by her dress
or undress, by the light, frivolous way
IN which she enters upon the holy es-
tate of matrimony, getting divorce for
the slightest little thing that she does
not quite fancy, although, according
to Gods law there is only one excuse
for divorce, it would be well for us to
pause, consider and ask, what is our
country coming to? Infinitely greater
and more serious are the enemies
within our borders than all that are
outside. So-called woman, or what is
more strictly true, these living dolls"
are doing all they can to rouse the pas
sions of the opposite sex and drag
the young people down to the lowest
depths. There should be a law passed
prohibiting these dolls appearing on
the streets or in any public place un-
less decently clothed. Why should our
little innocent children have to come
in contact with these things? This,
with the low down dance, is bringing
our young manhood and young wo-
manhood to the gutter, and we Just
look on. What are Christian people
doing, what are the clergy and min
listers doing to stop this? Little or
nothing. It is a blot on us as a nation.
This nation God raised up to be an
example to other nations of right liv-|
Ing. While she was true to God and
the bible, she was blessed, but she has
forgotten God, neglected His word, dis
obeyed His laws in every possible way.
Men and women supposed to be OF
good family, holding high positions, are
drawing our young people away from
God TO such an extent that our sons
ana daughters are not safe They are
actually IN the gravest peril. o moth
