A FEW WORDS TO OUR GIRLS.
The pastor of a church in one of
our large cities said to me not long
ago: 81 have officiated at forty
weddings since l came here, and in
every case save one, l felt that the
bride was running an awful risk"
Young men of bad habits and fast
tencencies never marry girls of their
own sort, but demand a wife above
suspicion. So pure, sweet women,
kept from the touch of evil through
the years of their girlhood, give
themselves with all their costly dow.
er of womanhood, into the keeping
of men who, in base associations,
have learned to undervalue all that
belongs to them and then find no
place for repentance in the sad af.
ter years.


There is but one way out of this
that can see, and that is for you
the young women of the country
Ito require in ASSOCIATE on and
marriage, purity for purity, sobriety
for sobriety, and honor for honor.


There is no reason why the young
men of this Christian land should
not be just as virtuous as its young
women, and if the loss of your soci.
ETY. and love be the price they are
forced to pay for vice. they will not
pay it.

who spoke Of the vagaries of certain

address that evening but I knew it
was not polite to tell him to accent
the last syllable. My boy says that
he left school at recess, accenting
the first syllable, and he was 10th to
believe that, whatever the meaning
of the word, it should be accented
on the fual syllable. Then my
friend, the president of the Debating
