ITf.THJS INTERESTS OF SOCIAL
v
PURITY.
It is a sad fact that so of tea there
news in a town that most be car
lied -along in whisper rather than to
appear in type. The nauseating
agit that pervades the minds of
tie feest element cries for relief from
f&s scandalous stench borne on the
Eaaesea of citjj go3uip. Is it a fact
Cbfttno darkest deeds of foulness
cka the characters of those who
Esve in fiigh social circles ? Shall
xpb tee our highest respect for ladies
tizi fain would esteem as the
j. essSIssna of purity and loveliness bo
cacsuQt j their escorts that it
cesacas sTfe but links that connect
CSeta with the lowest ecums of soci
ety? SAH sense of decency demands

Skill the pure compromise their rep
2&ca by association with the well!
is&TO impure ? Heaven forbid it !
CfutU we condone filthy, shameful
CQoiuct because it is common, and
tkseby withdraw all incalcations of
E&zZtj from our growingMip young
ran -Bid women? Every ennobling!
impulse cries no. The commonness
cf a growing evil but cries for the
2Bszre vigorous array against it. No
can exist in our Christian land
tSs cannot . be restrained by the
presence of the opposite virtue. V
As sure as the unchangeable Word
m true there will be a host in the
Crest morning that will appear with
unspotted garments.
When you tell us that virtue is a
atatir in the land you ask us to
lase half the veneration for a saint
fi mother; to look upon a lovely
ftafer as un unclean thing; to recede
from our inexplicable relation of
onsress T?ith a loving wife to the
. E-cathenish brutality with which she
is regarded in unenlightened spheres,
you ask every parent to relin
quish all nopeful pride that the
aiet little daughter is to grpw up
Mre divine-like than- the iveri
;eatrote..-Waya tell us not that fem
lame purity is rare. It's a vile, slan
derous libel, and shame on him who
rasidT deny its existence as an ex
cise for his own foulness, or com
promised it with his own debauched
$resenc. Shame on men that make
t&ssiselves vile and then appear in
EtTblic with nice, respectable ladies.
Would they, have us believe that
t&ejin&'ke a suitable couple ? If so,
it xs'fead for the young lady
We are painfully aware" that the
iimoeeut are made the victims of
tlsnderous imputations, but we in
cas where the purity of a! man
cr wow .n cannot be defended 1 that
can be looked upon with commiser
fSn4' tot not with honor or as being
cstfitlod o social equality. j
X.adiea are inviting suspicion on
themslvej when they accept the
gallantry of those they , know, and
everybody else knows, or really oe
lieves, to be living in the practice or
dissoluteness.
Much sympathy for the lady that
is the more compassionate toward
some one else's brother because she
has a brother that she wishes to
reclaim. This is noble,! but t that
brother would despise you if he knew
you to be persistenly and designedly
foul.
What license to growingup boys
to be dissolute when they see their
sisters apparently delighted with the
presence of gallants that all know to
be unfit, companions of the pure !
What happiness, too, can yonug wot
men promise themselves in maraiage
to men bo regardless of Ihe right
and the natural impulse of a pure
wife and mother to demand the
same of a husband and father?
We write from the utmost possid
bio freedom from individual refer
ence in this matter, but we do know
therev is a sickening disdain at pre
vailing social evils and a cry for re
form.
As we adore our mothers, cherish
our wives and fondly dote ppon our
sisters and daughters, let ui as men
be men, and not be male brutes. Let
boys be led up the dangerous path
ways of life with purposes of nob.lity
worthy of companionship with the
pure, the fair and the lovely, and
shun the dirty, filthy and ! nasty as
they would shun foul contagion.
We appeal largely to noble woman,
for it is a well known fact that man
reforms slowly if at all without her
influence. , I 1 r
Noble woman let your benignant
smiles, that we so fondly cherish, be
bestowed as incentives of elevation
but never of license.
We tender oar thanks to the
Christian Reid Book Club tor an
invitation to be oresent in '.thai
