This incident servos an excellent
purposoln prefacing n few words which
wo lmvo for' n long timo had in our
mind lo say.
Of all tlio evils prevalent among
young men wo know of nono more
blighting in its moral ell’oct than tho
tendoncy to spenk slightingly of young
womou. Nor Is thoro anything in
which young mon nro so thoroughly
mlstakon as tho low estimate llioy form
of the integrity of women—not of tliair
mothers aud sisters, thank God, but of
tlio others, who they forget aro some
body olse’s mothers nnd sisters.
As a mis, no person who surrenders
to tills debasing habit is safe to bo
trnstud witli nn enterprise requiring
integrity of character.
Plain words should bo spokon on
this point, for tho evil is a general one,
nnd doep rooting. If young men nro
sometimes thrown into tho sooioty ol
thoughtless and lu’wd women, they
havo no moro right to measuro nil oth
er womou by what they soo of those
and thoy would have to estimate tho
diameter of lionoat and respectable
citizens by tho development of crimes
In tlio police courts.
Let young mon remombor tlmtthoir
chief happiness in life, deponds upon
their nttor faith in women.
No wordly wisdom, no nilsaulhropie
philosophy, no generalization can cov
er or wenkon this fundamental truth.
It stands like tho rcoord of God him
self—for it Is nothing less than tills—
and should put an ovorlasting Beal up
on lids tlmt wont to speak slightingly
of women.
