- Notes:
- "To the city the seducer lures his victim. To the city women come to hide their shame. The city is the great receiver of the fallen who cannot endure to remain in small towns known to everybody. Therefore the whole country is responsible for the lost in the city; and every effort to reclaim them should be supported by all Christians. Daily, numbers die: daily, numbers supply their places; and must those who might be rescued, be left unsaved for the want of means to effect it."
