clasped her arms tightly around him.

If onr government is destined
to be enduring it must do away
with the followlrg obstacles:
Divorce, which strikoa at the
root of the family and society.
The imperlect and vicious sys
tem of education which under
mines the religion of onr youth.
The desecration of the Christian
Sabbath, which tends to obliter
ate in our adnlt population the
salutary fear of God and the hom
age that we owe him.
Tbe gross and systematic elec
tion fraud*.
lastly, the unreasonable delay
in carrying into effect the senten
ces of courts and the numerous
subterfuges by which criminals
evade the execution of the law*.
To one of the five obstacles or
vices I have just enumerated may
be traced our insatiable greed for
gain, the co-existence of colossal
wealth with abject poverty, the
extravagance of the rich, the dis
content of the poor, our eager and
impetuous rashing through life
and every other moral and social
delinquency.—Cardinal Gibbons.
