OPPOSED TO EARLY MARRIAGES.
Put a Stop to the Marriage of
Children.
Contrary to popular beliefs that
early marriages are particularly
conducive to morality, C. L. Red
field, of Chicago.declared that they
were more conducive to immoral
ity The biographies of the p at men
of the world, particularly the mor
al and religious reformers, furnish
ed evidence, he said, that great
men were the sons of parents who
had done much work. Confucius,
who was born when his father was
71 years of age; Buddha, whose
mother was 45 when he was born;
Moses, whose three generations of
ancestors spanned 185 years; and
King David, who was the son of
Jesse's old age, and who became
the father of Solomon when he
was 52 years old, were some in
stances he cited.
In contrast, in this age, in this
country, he pointed to tne wide
spread practice of marrying young
so young that in many States
grooms in kntcKabocKers ana
brides in short dressses were even
recognized by law, and said:
"I say to you, positively, that
these child marriages are laying
the foundations for new sources
of vice and crime. A campaign of
education on the question of early
marriages is urgently needed."
"Perhaps some of you think
that to delay' marriages would be
to largely increase the immorality
among the unmarried. Hereto
fore you have based your judg
ment in such matters on common
sense, but I am telling you now
that there is a sound scientific rea
son, heretofore overlooked why
such marriages are an injury to
the race. The injury is not to
those who marry but to those who
come after them. The product of
those early marriages is the first
step in the production of those
forms of vice which we have upon
our shoulders to eradicate.
"I am not asking that all mar
riages be delayed to the age of 25
or 30 years. That may or may
not come in the future when we
know more than we do now, but
at present I am asking that we put
a stop to the marriage of children
a stop to that kind of reproduc
tion which breeds the mentally and
morally unfit."

Let us take to our hearts a lesson
From the ways of the tapestry weavers, on the other side of the sea.
Above their heads their pattern hangs; they study it with care;
And while their fingers deftly work,
They tell this curious thing, beside,
He works on the wrong side evermore, but he works for the right side ever.
It is only when the weaving stops,
That he sees his real handiwork, that his marvelous skill is learned.
Oh! the sight of its delicate beauty! How it pays him for all it cost!
No rarer, daintier work than his was ever done by the frost.
Then his master bringeth him golden hire.and giveth him praise as well
And how happy the heart of the weaver is, no tongue but his own can tell.

We may not ste how the right side
But looking above for the pattern,
Only let him look clear into heaven
If he keens the face of the Master
His weaving is sure to be perfect,
And at last, when the task is ended,
He shall hear the voice ol his Master; it shall say unto him : v ell done!
And u hitp-u inued aneels of heaven to bear him thence shall come down
And God for his wage shall give
