The speaker told of seeing a woman coddling a toy poodle while a ragged urchin looked on wistfully. "Such a woman," he declared, "la a desecration to motherhood."
Judge Hale stre.ssed proper re¬ ligious training as of paramount Intere.st In the development of youth. In this respect he took occiislon to point out that he meant the joyful, open hearted religion of Christ and not the long-faced, klll-joy religion which tends to drive youth from the church rath¬ er than attract It. He stated that out of the 6000 cases which he has heard only 12S had had re¬ ligious training. He cited num¬ erous cases from his own experi¬ ence during his dis'course.
The literature of today was also aharply condemned u.4 a menace to youth and Judge Bule roundly criticised those puI)Ushf'rs who place upon tbe market books and magazine? tased ou sex. He urg¬ ed fatliers and mothers to take their children Into their confidence and explain the vital matters ot life to them in u clean wholesome manner as one means of counter¬ acting the evil influence of such knowledge picked up from doubt¬ ful sources.
The   lecture  was   well   attended and the speaker made a deep and favorable Impression on his henr ers.
