connncllon. It is my puiprse to present
thf subject decorously, yet to plainly
that tho most Illiterate and unthinking
person will eomprehen.l fully the impor
tant truths I deslro to present.
IJy heredity, wo mean the traiiiinilsclon
of mental or phslcal pcrcu'dat-ltles,
qualities anil diseases from parent to olf
sprlng. I'rovldcneo lias much to do with
our llvo'i, but "the sins of the parents
aro visited upon the children even unto
tho third and fourth generation." This
Is only tho natural with reference to our
phvsleal nature, divinely expressed.
The child that Is despoiled of its birth
right inheritance of a sound otganlzatlon
by the ignorance or perversity or its pa
rents will surely bo revenged. If robbed
by society of Its Inherent right to su--tennnco
and an education, society will
surely suffer. A vicious malformed, til
eaFid or perverted child cannot oxlM in
the lnmily without "rendering evil for
evil" nny more than a vagrant or lmbe
die person can exist in society with
out, to some extent, contaminating the
whole social atmosphere.
lUC.lIT START IN LII-'IC.
To give our daughters a right stait In
the life they aro to live in this world pa
rents thcmsrlvis should live In accordance
with the laws that govern their physlei.l,
moral and spiritual being. Parents fre
quently live over again In their olf-
sprlng. for the children certainly resem
ble their parents, not merely in counte
nance and bodily conformation, but In the
general feature-: of their minds, and In
both virtue's and vices. Thus she lmp?il
ous I'laudlan family, lung flourished nt
Heme, unrelenting, cruel mm despotic:
It produced the tyrant Tibet Ins, and nt
length ended, after a course ! six hun
dred years In the bloody ("aligula, CI.iu
Tilus and Agrippina, and then In ihe mon

livery child that Is born, has the right
ful Inheritance of perf.ct beauty, j'he
hereditary condition-, therefore, for the
propagation of chl'dren who shall have
the right kind of a birthright arc veiy
simple, so lnr ns the theory Is concenr-.i.
All that 1m required Is good health and
co-rcct habits on the part of the parents,
Uvery child that Is born has the right
ful Inheritance of i. mind mind us well
ns a sound brdy. Mora'i chnracttr and
vital conditions have a elo.e and in
separable lelatlon. If a man or woman
can be a good Chrl'tian with a wretch'. I
body and miserable health, he or slw
can be a better Chrbtlau wlib a comfort
fl'de body and excillent health.
To give your daughter the right kind of
an Inheritance with which to iHgiu tho lite
i-he is to live In time and eternity h.Mnie
her birth conform your own life, parents,
to the laws that should govern jour be
lli','. Ucause of the neglect to do this, a
child is handicapped all thiougli life and

and niortlllcd In their own oft'spiing. liven

I'AP.UNTS' POSITION.
Tin parents occupy tho Important peat
tlou of giving to tho child that which u
neeesrary for the acconipllshment of
these two ohjects. The homo life, the so
cial circle la the home, fiout the earliest
year.) of the child's life, are the factors
operating directly tipi.n liie mind i.,r
Ve-al or woe. If ImpiTisiont, spiritual, nr
not made upon the plastic mind In ibc:c
early years, an Injury la done thnt can
never wholly bo overcome. Not only from
tho mother shall this womini of the in
turo receive lessens Inculcating first prin
ciples of truth and uprightness, but also
from tho father there should come into
tho pllnblo mind, the strength imparted uy
u strong uprlRht Christian manhood.
It so happens that wo never have Just
tho same degree of feeling towards the
father that we hnve for tho mother. Tho
child recognizes tho difference, subtle
though it may be, but in the difference ts
strength If so be that the father Is n, man
of truth and uprightness. Pnspeakabiv
great Is tho Influence the parents hao
over tho destiny of tho child In Its pre.
natai life, but who can estimate the pow.
rr that nny be expected In the life during
the llrst ilvo years by parents In the pri
vacy of the hemo by precept and ex
ample? "We wonder nt tho phonograph when we
listen to tho voice of a friend whom wo
hnvo not seen' for yenrs. it is not true
that Impressions am being madn upon u

when tho mind of the child receives lin

The world is not pure, itnri bye nml bvo
the knowletlgo of this fact comes In tionie
devilish way to the mind of tho child.
Tho battlo of llfo la beginning In tho

but If ever there. Is a time when vigilance

Society nt Inrro Is selfish, Inconsiderate,
and even the legal enactments) for thy
benefit of socloty nro more for punish
ment than fcr the prevention of crime.
What a great blrstlng it would be to this
city should Curfew laws be placed upon
the statute bt.oks. It Is no uuswer, In ob
jection to this much to be desired law,
to say that every parent should bo u
"curfew" law to his own famby. There
Is no doubt but that be should be, but Uu
appalling fact of tho criminal negligence
of parents for tho welfare of their chil
dren meets us on every street corner. The
object of tho Curfew law Is not to bo
sneered at. for it is excellent.
Curfew law In Scranton would so change
tho character of the young people In ten
years that ono would not believe It we.o
he not to sec It. Why hhould girls and
buys be nltowed to mingle In a promiscu
ous way under cover of darkness as tn-v
would not do In the daytime? Why should
thf daughter of any home la nil this citv
be permitted to lounge ngalnst ft fence
and call by a whlstlo to a crowd of boys
across the street, .lust the other night
two young glils Just In their tems, went
fiom the West Side over to the centtal
illy between the hours of 1 and 1.T0
o'clock, without proper escoit that they
might have a gay time.
Many daughters In this fair elt of ours,
from various homes can be sei n on tli
strut lato at night, parading up and
down, ogling the bo.s cud hearing ques
tionable ivniark-r giggling, slmpetiug;
shallow mlndid daiiRhleis of some father
and mother who aro sadly neglectful of
their child's welfare. Curfew law would
be all Inestimable boon to this city. Wher
eve.r tho law has luen enacted, a gtejt
blessing has ulway.i followed. In many
western cities it Is now in force and ikiiio
would think of going back to the old way.
.UCNlClPAi, ih:ty.
L-t me lien" the answer itom the nonies
where shame ond sonow bac cnluied In.
If Curfew will save tbtsc ilatiulileis fiom
sin anil shame should wu not have It tn
this desperately wicked city? i claim thus.
It l the- duly of municipalities to protect
citizens lrom all local nuisances, and it
Is tho duty ot society to ptoteei every
child, which IL compels or pet mis to re
side within Its proper Jurisdiction, from
all external influences which lend to
vltlato Us body and criuipt its iiilnd. Let
us liavo iaws that will preieiit slu as well
as laws that punish the sli tier!
1 will go still further: Jt n the moral
duty of soilety to protect esi r child
from obscenity ond profanity. 1'iom ul
Hcenlty as found In Ihe books secntly
scattered from child to child, in glaiiug
pictures of nudity coveting the bulb tin
boards throughout our city. In the bglou
of papeis and magazines at evcr.i book
stall, tlniL seem to rival each oilier in
ptesentlng the human foam ns It appeared
in the gulden of llden before sin sepa
rated It from God. Indeed some of out
most iispectablo home magazines, unwill
ing, perhaps, to allow the pages devoted
to reading inatto:" to become contaminat
ed with this appeal to tho sensual through
tho eye, do not hesitate to allow adver
tising matter to appear In plctoilal form
which should be prohibited liom every
piirlittlau home.
Is It not tho moral duty of society also
to protect every child from profanity and
ail forms of Indecent and suggestive lan
guage? These are poisonous to the iiilud
as much as miasmas aro poisonous to ihe
body. What right has any one to use
obscene language or other profane oaths
In the ireseneo of my child, or his child,
or nny hild .'
You sa. we have Rood and wholesome
laws regiii.itlng these evils! Yes. p- r
hnps so, but the- moral tone of society is
such that unless there Is some unusually
flagrant violation no woid of condemna
tion Is heard. If tho Christian nun and
women who represent the homes In our
city, wherein righteousness- Is loved,
would only mouse themselves to a con
tinued effort and an unceasing vigilance
along all thogo lines Indicated, a great
moral and spiritual reform would sweep
with Irresistible power throughout this
city, driving back from the public view
these agents ot Satan.

A WHITE LILY.
(Helen D. Sanderson, Nov. J!', JWS.)
The g.udeii blooms with roses,
White and crimson and gold:
Where tho thrill of the sun tranposes
Velvet from dust and mold;
And the- glow of their riotous splendor
lirlngs a sudden mist to tho eye
Of pain, for the beauty and tender
Llfo that but lives to die.
For fairer than rose that ever
Full to the air uncut led,
Stood iv lllj pure in the sunllBht
Tho white nun of the world.
A dear, n.ro Illy of lilies.
That bVissnmcd but yesterday,
And tho garden of earth is dreary
Since its wwectners drifted away.
O Lily of our garden,
So white are tho petals that fold
In softest silence fortner
Over your heart of gold,
And no more you smile In tho sunshine.
For tho roses and violets meet
In wreaths of limitless sorrow
To lie- nt your ejulet feet.
From tho fair, far valleys eternal
Where from dreams of enith yon awake,
Sh.ul you smile not out of the shadow
Ti, lighten the In i its that break?
