The Cure for Crime

A WRITER in the United Presbyterian declares that the responsibility for the great increase in crime, which is apparent on every side, lies primarily with the home:—
In many homes presided over by well-meaning but foolish parents, children are allowed to grow up willful, disobedient, and lawless. The parents refuse to chastise them for their evil conduct, calling corporal punishment degrading; but what is more degrading than crime and lawlessness? . . . The only sure cure for crime is the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a safe, certain, and abiding cure for all kinds of lawlessness and the youthful criminality of our day.
