Of all the evils prevalent among men,

Is there anything In which young men
are se thoroughly mistaken as in the low
estimate they form of the integrity of
women—not of their own mothers, who.
they forget, are somebody elm'i mothers
and sutlers.
Plain words should be spoken ou this
point, for the evil is a general one, and
deep rooted. If
,young men pre some
times thrown into the society of thought-
Tette, or even lewd women, they hare no
more right to measure all other women
by what they see of these than they
would have to estimate the character of
honest and respectable citizen, by the
developments of crime in our police
courts.
Let young men remember that their
chief happiness in life depends upon
their faith in woman. No worldly wis
dom, no misanthropic philosophy, no
generalization can cover or weaken this
fundamental truth It stands like the
record of God himself—for it is nothing
less than this—and should put an ever
