An Awful Story.

It is said that there are 300,000 fallen girls in this country; that one-half of these are from professed Christian homes, and that three-fourths are from country homes. Thousands have been trapped, and are in the condition they are largely thru the fault of others. But how many are there because the church of Christ has failed to proclaim God’s great standard of right—His holy law? Truly now “the law is slacked.” If the Decalog does not mean what it says in the fourth commandment, why should it be supposed to in respect to the seventh? If a man is a law unto himself in respect to the Sabbath, why should not he be as respects sexual relations? But these are questions for which men must give answer at the bar of God. Live as in His sight.
