Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Plea for the Wider Action of the Church of England, in the Prevention of the Degradation of Women: As Submitted to a Committee of Convocation on July 3, 1879
I suppose we are all aware of the extreme gravity of the evil which we meet to-day, in the presence of our Redeemer, to consider; and to grapple with which the Church Penitentiary Association exists. I presume we should be all agreed, that while most of our other great moral evils may be contemplated as diseases of the extremities, this moral evil, as touching home, family, marriage, all those life-giving functions of our nature which make us akin to God Himself, as the parents of beings formed in His image and heirs of immortality, - this is no disease of the extremities, it is a disease at the very heart of life, poisoning life at its very source.
