_ - ORIGIN Oi"

For many centuries the quest

for the origin of evil has engaged .the attention of scientists, tlieoiog-l ians and reformers 'but the unfath- omed mystery is still unplumbed. l

It was no doubt in or-der that-

some. light might be thrown upon this mystery that the system ol`_ dominion prison stattistics was first instituted but, so far as statistics furnished up to date go, the result is still far from satisfactory. ~ _According to the' prison returns for the fiscal year just ended- tlicre were 1463 convicts in Canadian prisons as compared with 1094 at the close of the previous year.'l`liis sho-_ws a satisfactory betteriiient. lt is.. however, when the data suppos- edly responsible for the coiwiciioi'| are being delved into that the orig- in of evil again becomes elusive. Of the 1463 .convicts .iol profess- ed Christianity, hfty were .non Christians and twelve had no creed of any kind. As the religious

.~\.nother definite classification is

given in the conjugal state of the convicts. The unmarried convicts have a clear majority in the pen- nitentiariesi their number being 892 while the comparative innocence of the married state is indicated by the fact that only 504 married men were jailed during the year. This latter fact may be attributable rather to the home training receiv- ed by the married ment than to any inherent virtue. ln any case 'the long sought foi'___origin still reniaiiis in the trackless void.
