' Men are lob far separated asunder by petty distinctions of Class and social rank, for a clear' understanding oi these obligations. Consequently any movement, or organisation, which has for its aim. the bringing ' of men and women into closer fel- 1 low, Ilip and mutual appreciation of each -.thers worth and problems, , was a benefactor to 'he age. . These truths hall bee i brought . home to him very forcibly. Dr. Bowman slated, during the period , he had ervod as morel instructor? •in the K' 'a stem Penitentiary. - ■His experience in dealing with j criminals of all discriptions, had confirmed his belief a thousand-] fold, that religion does exercise an operative and uplifting influence,] on life ami character. He never walked through the] i rridars of the prison, without; finding some new proof in eorrob-j iteration of the gospel message, j "what the lax*- could not do, God ! sent His Son." * Society is retained and pcrpetrock of integrity, and liecausc of' the moral influences of religion,] and not because of any 'ear of the referring to the causes which ! led to crime. Dr. Bowman volunteered the statement, that crime; had increased very materially since! WANTED An Unfurnished House to lease: for a year. No children.

the' passing of the eighteenth i ^ The abolition of the sale of in-j.1 |;to,\irating drink, had led to an. t alarming increase in the use of j t i narcotics. The ordinary person « I had-snet the least conception, Dr. 1 . , Bowman declared, how largely the | j number of "dope" addicts had in- ' creased within recent years. I There was a larger percentage * per capita, of dope addicts in !® America at, tlie present time, than 1 there "was even i\ China with its opium dens. x~y The difficulty of combating the , I evil was magnified immensely by / , | the fact .that no drug addict Could /J i he induced by threats or by coaxI ing, to disclose the place and pcr- . son, from which. he secured his!, supply. Another factor which con- ; ■ . tributcd much to the increase of s . crime, particularly among young , , ' said Dr. Bowman, was the , , i disinclination upon the par- of the i modern young man ,to be tied down | to any definite' or fixed hours of ' . employment. I The fact shut he had to begin J work ul a fixed hour, a.id leave) . a similar manner, the modern ' yung man remitted.- He desires ' . hi' liberty, to liegin work when he] . pleases and leave when so disposed. !

Th-- average he declared, wis not] abnormal creature half-brute, he was just a normal man jyho had slipped out of cog. The age was largely impeached le for the increase in crime.
