The tastes of the people are shown by the pictures they enjoy, the songs that they sing, and oftentimes by the “jokes” that they tell. There is no class of jokes, cartoons, or pictures in these times that are more eagerly sought or that receive a wider distribution than those which make light of the marriage relation. Many editors that talk eloquently and volubly of the “high moral tone” of the age in which we are living, and of our “great material progress and advancement,” will permit cartoons and jokes to appear in their papers which make unfaithfulness to the marriage vow a mere matter of fun and merriment. A generation that will tolerate such things, to say nothing of enjoying them, is already well along in the decaying condition of vice that must surely end in ruin. We are indeed in an age of great material progress. It is an age of marvelous achievement. And there is danger that we may allow the glitter of these things to blind our eyes to the fact that we are also in an age of great moral degeneracy: an age when vice, sensuality, and debauchery are dragging the human family rapidly to destruction. Men ought to see these things; and if they would carefully read and study their Bibles, they would know what they mean.
