SOCIETY’S SINS.
Society is like salt which has not yet lost its savor, for there is still the Remnant. So in effect writes Mrs Lynn Linton in the September number of the Pall Mall Magazine. As in the days of ancient Pome, “even so now, when women notoriously unfaithful to their husbands are met at the ‘ best ’ houses, when snobs and tuft-hunters have elbowed and corkscrewed their way into high places, and millionaires without h’s are accepted as equals by the blue-blooded and high-nosed—even now we have the self-respecting Remnant; and the Remnant will have none of these things, and bow neither head nor knee to Baal.” This Remnant is 7000 strong, and as in the olden time ten just persons would have been sufficient to save a city, it will be seen that Mrs Lynn Linton gives “ society a considerable lease of life.”
