Ivison Wilson in the Methodist church on Sunday evoniiiK inat; You will find the words which I have Klcctcd as the basis (rf my reiiiiirka to- nixlit, in Uoinans the sixth chripter and the twenty-third verae :â€" "The wa<»08 nf tin is de.'ilh,but tho n\lt of God i.s eternal life through Jesus Christ our LorH." As I announced this morning, I am no- ing to depart from ordinary pulpit usage this evcniiiif, and spoak on what I have cliDsen to designate "The Evolution of a Crime." I had intended iisinR another subject, which was duly announced, but during the past day or so I hive betn 80 profuOiidly impressed with the circum- stances leading up to that dark tragedy, the Inst scene of whicli was enacted in Toronto during thopiust week, that I felt compellod to improve tho occasion, and emphasize what I believe tube useful and important lessons. Tho whole story ro ids Hlto a romance. It is such as some novelist might haTo woven out of his imagination as he traced step by stop the downfall of pno of the characters of his j)lot. The stone opens in a home of afUuence and social distinction in the state of Illinois, we will say twenty years ago, where there is a head-strong, ungoverii- ed child. 1 am not going to lay any charge at the door of the parents in quea- tion. They may have exerted the l)e8t of influences, and used the wisest disciplin- ary measures ; but I am surely safe in concluding that the child never learned filial obedieuoi). This may seem to some of us a very trifling fact, and yet it is tho first step on tho road to ruin. When will parents learn that the home in which im- plicit, umiuostioning obedience is not demanded, issiipply an institution for the manufacture of criminals ? I treiiiblo when I hear unobeyed commands in some of our homos. 1 have no "favorite pres- cription" for tho training of children. This is a problem that must bo thought out, and fought out, and prayed out, in the experience of every parent â€" but it must be solved, if the child is not to sufTor a grievous wrong. When I next see tho bay.he has reach- ed tho >igH of 12, and I find hini absent from his place in Sabbath school. If a boy of that age is not found in Sabbath scho.il you may know ho is not about any good. It ia a fact to be deeply deplored, that so many of our boysfancy thomaelvos too big to attend Sabbath school. I am not sure that some of our older paople are not t.) blame in this regard. I would to God it wero in my power, 'ind I would be there fifty- two Sundays in the year, if only to show tlio boys that I ain not too old and not too good to frL-queiit such a resort. Thou sido by side with this is the non-cluifch- g.iing habit. I am aurry imlojd th.vt the f'uuily pow is dyin'.^oucof our cluucUea. Tho parents too frocpioatly have a seat near the pulpit, while tlie boys, if there at all, find a pow onvoniunt to tliu dour. Now wi) nil km;w hn,v tho Saobilh is spent to «n ularmiu;;(lvj.{roe in Aiuirlca to-dav. There are league bisebiill giujos, excur»ions,and sc ires of other actraotinns to draw tho boys away from tho h iiiio of God, and the .s:iiiie tiimleiicy is giiiiint; a foott'.old in Canivda. .Am I ilro.-iinin,', or did s iniv! one toll ine that o.Wiu-Hionj are li.'ing run from a village north of us, to Owuii bmnid on Sundays ? Such a «'ay of upondinn the Lord's day isa cursj to tliou«:iinla of lioy.s on this coiiiinent. lk-t;or have no Sunday at all,! otter have ttiH aanio ciiniloyment as on w^ek (iay.>>, than to snond it as many are today, u<it only Ir.iii'iiUijg itas-uiictiiy in the dual, but oiiga'jiiiij ill pursuna that aro a uifuaca to the lii>t l.rilll'iple^ cf inlcgiiiy.

''yon say ''laiu nut a g ihilili-r;! may put up a little money on ft iia-iio of catds, or but i>n a borseraCc? but that iliM's nut aninunt t« anything •erious." Does it no*. 1 What oonstitut.f8 B gainbliui; anyway ? Is it not seieking | something for nothing 1 Is it not staking A certain amount of money, and I'uiiniiiK the risk of losing all ill hope of gainin;^ more ? I care not whether a man stakes five cents on a game of cir.ls or ten cents <in a horserace or 8»000 on any other hazardous speculation, he m playing a dimgerous rolu. And I have reaaoii to believe that gambling is sysloifiatically carried ou not one hundred miles from Flosherton. It is easy for us to inaaijine that this young man committed this forgery, to keep faitli with the book makers, and meet tlie expenses generally of his fast life. I find him at tho early age of 21, a con- vict in ttie Colorado state prison. I would to God our prisons were reformatory in their influence, I wish with all my heart that a term in a penitentiary had the effect of arresting a yoUng man in his downward career, and starting him onco more in the path of rectitude. But we all known the tendency is the very opposite of this. Here men come under the influence of other.s worse than them- selves - those who are versed and skilled in all tho secrets of ciiminal life ; and youiiij men almost invariatly leave the prison worse than when they entered it. It may be dilRcult to determine how the evil is to bo remedied, but si rely some methods could be devised, whei'f.by those who have been detected inthe^firststagesof crime might be rescued for lives of use- fulno.ss, rather than trained in yet more vicious lines of felony. Tht n what kind of treatment does the crimminal receive at the hands ot society ? Is it not true that he suffers social ostracism ? Who wants .'tn ex-convict in his employ? "What commercial value has a certificate of character from the Warden of a paniten- tiary? And yet, is the ex-convict nec- essarily the most dangerous factor in social life to day ? We all know he ia not. Tliercaro men at largo, at this hour, vrho have committed crimes as fotil as nine-tenths of llmse that are undergoing I expiation, but because they have been clever enough to elude tlio el utcliea of the law, they aro respected, nsy even lionized. These aristoorates in crime aro tho most dangerous denizensof our social life to-day but srimo poor fellow who has been de- tected in his first violation of the law is hounded out of society, not so much be- cause he has sinned, as beoauso be has recently been "convict 22" and apparreU- ed in prison uniform. Who can say what the result might have been had someone stood at the door of the prison when Fred L.Rice caiio out, had taken him by the hind and .said "my dear fullow I am going to give you another chance to lead a decent lite. You have tried tho life of a higli roller, have yon not had enouyli of it ? Are you not tired of criminal life ? I am going to trust you and help you to your foot again." Had he found such a friend, the whole course of bis subsequent life might have been changed, and the awful tragedy we have in our tlmuuhts to night never enacled. As it was, when ho stepped once mure into liberty, he found him.selt, like scores of others of this cluss, friendless, penni- less.reputation gone, character gone, practioally doomed to a career of crime Shortly after this be meets two of his prison acquaintances in Chicago, .ind they together plan a raid on Ontario banks with what success we very well know. Wliore aro the mombers of that notorious gang to-night? One was killed in a futile attempt to escape, in which a brave offi- cer of the law was cruelly murdered, an- other lies in a suicide's grave, the third, whose career we have briefly sketched to-night, the o'her day, sufferod the aovorest penalty the law of our land can inflict. Truly "the w.iges of sin is death." Ijui tho strangely pjtthetio scene in all this sad drama is the picture of a mother's potent, j'ot impotent luvoâ€" a love that idl tlie Climes of lior w.iyw.'iid boy could not ijuonch, yet one that was powerless to save him. Whose heart has not bled for her in her intolerable aTiguish? How strikingly this illustrates the great truth that man does not suffer alone for his siin 1 If only we cnuld am and bear all the oons^»ii nonces ourselves: if a hoy could lead It reckless life without breaking his inothii-'s heart, the hifitori' of crime wuilil h)."*' much of its pathus.
