In a recent pastoral, Dr. Arthur Cleveland Coze says When I see tho twardy fashionA, the contly vulgarity and the wicked extravagance of the tines, I feel sure that thousands of American women are strangers to the first law of refnne. niont-simplicity in manners and at. tire. When I see that thoisantids of Anerican wornen read the met, shameful romances and the most do. grading newspapers ; frequently the vilest, dramatic entertainments and' join danoes too ahocking to ho named among Christians ; I feel that Chri. tian matrons are becoming too few, mid that civilized heathenism is re. torning to' the abld- we havn %,rcstord from the ntliins. When I read, daily, of the most un godly divorces and 6f orimes against social purity and against liuman life itself. whi.:h are too gross to be mcn tioned more particularly, i feel that too tmlany . of 0'e countrv-womnen are Vithout G'od in the world, and that l'adical reforms are necessary inj the systelis of eduneationa fin %hich tho young wetnori of America are depern. dent for their training.
