honey -combing and indeed dielooeting the

The institution of the family! Whit is
s it? It is the corner stone of every Claim
tian State. It is the asylum of all virtue,
and that white roe of purity under velume
fragranee all thae is aweet, beautiful and
divine in society has been fostered. To
protect the family in it integrity and
virtue, to bear aloft the ideal of social
morality, is the most faudamental and
beneficent work whioh can engage the
eympathy and fearlesa endeavor of any
man on this footetool divine. We aro here

are at work to degrade pablic eentiraent

We are here to impeaola the academies of

It is time some should lift up their voices

modern stage, whichMrs. Kendal, the
friend of our Queen, herself an artiste of
the highest charm:ter, frankly admits is

which is full of jilting, reckless marriage
and duelling. Over the portals of every
"academy of musia " and every theatre

eweinnocence and purity of thought

times, down throngh the slimy streams of
seneational tales to the depths of the
French novel of Zola, George Sand and
others. Look at the on and daughters of
moat Christian fami ies ; what company
do they keep? In the reiiremmt of their
their own room, in the silence of the mid-
night hour, they companionate with the
pimps and vagabonds, and profligs,te, and
outcasts, orations these of the Braddons,
the infamous Oniclas and the Swinburnes,
all garnished with the' splendor of desorip-
tive diotion, but still the produot of the
foulest naiads of our age. The habitual
companionship with vioe pollutes every
ohamber of imagery and leaves imnaoral
memories that no regenerative power can
efface in life. I impe,aoh the moral sense
of our city for its oriminal indifference to

CHARACTER OE /TS PUBLIC BIEN.
Look at the men that have been elected
to our Council and civic chair. While we
have had some of the noblest of citizens in
high office from the times of a Viger and a
Ferrier down to those of a Charles Alex-
ander, yet the highest civic offices have
been held by some of the vilest of men, and
what is true of this city is true of Toronto
and Hanailton, as I know. This city has
elected men from whose homes virtue has
fled; met who have sought to introduce
' the Ottoman seraglio into our country, men
tvhose lives were a perpetual defiance of
the seventh canon of the decalogue. These
men whose immorality was flared in the
. very faee of heaven, have come forward
again and again and have been elected and
rewileated until it would seem as if vice
itself in this city of Montreal were one of
the credentials for high officio. And look at
the men that our noble City Connoil have
in time past appointed to official positions—
patrons of the bae;,
noneneee, nmeareanoos or THE.PAST,
the dethrone, the flesby'men of the
Richelieu gang, who sneer at all tempera no e

regard to taste after tests consisting of the
application of bitter and sweet substanoes
(strychnine and saccharine) in dilute solu-

of the habitual criminal less route than
that of the casual offender, and a slightly
