The Social Evils.

Dr. Wines delivered last evening the second of his course of lectures on the Social Problem. He took as his subject, the social evils, which he described as being anything which affected the health and welfare of the social organism. These evils are infinite in number, consisting among others, of contagious diseases, insanity and immorality. They affect society either physically, mentally or morally.

Dr. Wines then considered these evils as they are related to the social institutions of the family, the government and property; and he then described the means of prevention and cure. In conclusion he dwelt especially on the need of organization in this work.
