COMMUNICATION.
UQW»YIs1Y RAMPANT.
i ,lbs editor 01 Tug PONT,
DEAR Stn.—Last Sunday afternoon I
wont to the Army meeting and being late,
had to take a seat near the door. There
was n crowd of boys, from 14 to 20 yoare of
age, around tho door noel their conduct was
dlegrncefnl. There was a good experionno
mooting going 0)1 when 1 wont hi, with oo.
casional eonge, and the yelling of those
young moo and /toys ,vas very annoying,
several respectable christlan people loft the
church disgusted. One of the soldiers came
down end advised them to stop their nniee
or he would take down their names and
havo them exposed, but so little did they
care for him, or his threat, that despite all
he could say they yelled louder and loonier
until you could very easily imagine yon
had mistaken tho place and got into a lun-
atic ssylurn. How I wished, as 1 sat there
that some of their parents saw theta as 1
saw them, turning everything that was said
and done into ridicule. If they had been
thero,perhaps some of them would bo more
careful in speakingdisrespeotfulty of relig.
ion before theor children. If rho Captain
would enforce the law and send some of
them to Godorioli it might silnnco the rest
of the brawlers. The conduct of some that
occupied seats was anything but becoming r
and 1 eincerely hope that those who so b•
richlydoierved it will get t110 full bought
of the law. Yours,
