30306[ 10] The fact is unquestionable, but the question remains, In what sense were these people exalted? 30306 [ 7] Granted; only one would like to know what reason there is for not deriving virtues as well as vices from the same source?
30306And if not called into being then, from what other source could they have been derived?
30306And, deeper enquiry still, may not the religious interpretation itself be a product of the special environment of the period?
30306But is it true?
30306But why are we to limit science to_ physical_ facts only?
30306Did their exalted sensibility really bring them into touch with a form of existence hidden from persons of a coarser fibre?
30306First, whether or no these children were bewitched?
30306Has science the knowledge or the ability to deal with the extraordinary as well as with the ordinary facts of life?
30306Have you no pity on the torments that I suffer?
30306How can we discriminate between the two classes of cases?
30306How comes it that this idea has not by now disappeared from civilised society?
30306How far has the one been mistaken for the other?
30306How far may religious experience be explained as a misinterpretation of normal non- religious life?
30306If the former, how can we differentiate between the mystic and the admittedly hysterical patient?
30306If the latter, what ground is there for placing the mystic in a category of his own?
30306In that case, would the belief in the supernatural have ever existed?
30306In what respect, then, do the favoured few differ from their fellows?
30306Is it a fact that the non- religious explanation breaks down so completely?
30306Is there anything in later scientific knowledge that would ever have suggested the supernatural?
30306It certainly leaves unanswered the question_ Why_ should people have drawn together in the face of danger?
30306One writer pertinently asks:--"What does the ordinary seminary graduate know of the histology, anatomy, and physiology of the soul?
30306Or are we to seek a less romantic explanation with the aid of known tendencies and forces in human nature?
30306Or did it belong to a class of cases which in a more violent form comes within the province of the physician?
30306Secondly, whether the prisoners at the bar were guilty of it?
30306Shall I think of a mother''s tears?
30306The question is, therefore, why should the line of growth, general with all at adolescence, be, in the case of some, diverted into religious channels?
30306To what causes are we to attribute the persistence of this belief in the supernatural?
30306To what extent have pathological nervous states influenced the building up of the religious consciousness?
30306To what extent have people accepted the outcome of pathological conditions as proofs of intercourse with an unseen spiritual world?
30306Under what conditions did the hypothesis that supernatural beings control the life of man come into existence?
30306What are the causes that have given it such a lengthy lease of life?
30306What does the graduate know about sexuality, so closely allied with certain forms of religious manifestations?
30306What does the ordinary graduate understand about doubt?
30306What is the character of the force that binds the members of a group so closely together?
30306What is the inevitable conclusion?
30306What is the nature of this fact of sociability?
30306What kind of evidence is it that throughout the ages religious people have accepted as conclusive?
30306What kind of evidence is it, then, that has been accepted as proof of the supernatural?
30306What possible scientific warranty is there for any such distinction?
30306What, then, are we to make of those who experience a similar feeling, but who are without the certainty of eternal life?
30306Whence did the pest of the Agapetà ¦ creep into the Church?
30306Whence is this new title of wives without marriage rites?
30306Whence these harlots cleaving to one man?
30306Whence this new class of concubines?
30306Who is there that may not love Thy lovely face?
30306Whose heart is so hard that may not melt at the remembrance of Thee?
30306Why do these facts not immediately present themselves in their true nature?
30306Why do things happen?
30306Why does the sun rise and set, why does rain fall, thunder crash, rivers flow?
30306Why should the ordinary classification break down at this point?
30306Why should this have been the case?
30306Why should this normal change from childhood to maturity be the period during which_ religious_ conversion is experienced?
30306Why, then, has not supernaturalism died out?
30306With what else has religion always associated itself?
30306With what else should a healthy religion associate itself but the ordinary motives or feelings of human life?
30306Would Santa Teresa or Catherine of Sienna have used the language they did use to express their relations to Jesus had they been wives and mothers?
30306Would it not have been like a tree divorced from the soil?
30306Would not one be surprised if any other result than this had been achieved?
30306Would the medieval monk have been tempted by Satan in the form of beautiful women had he been happily married?
30306Would the religious idea have persisted in the way that it has done?
30306Would the thousand and one''spiritual beings''of primitive society have ever had being?
30306[ 103] Marie de L''Incarnation addresses Jesus as follows:--"Oh, my love, when shall I embrace you?

20654Knowing what sex is, can we call this other also sex?
20654Love-- what is love?
20654Man, the doer, the knower, the original in_ being_, is he lord of life?
20654My watch?
20654Now does all life work up to the one consummating act of coition?
20654Now what is the act of coition?
20654Or is woman, the great Mother, who bore us from the womb of love, is she the supreme Goddess?
20654Or make an effort with a stranger?
20654Or was the American only bragging?
20654Or was woman, with her deep womb of emotion, born from the rib of active man, the first created?
20654Otherwise how could it maintain a definite and progressively developing relation to her?
20654Pray, what is combustion?
20654Say to yourself:"Come now, what is it all about?"
20654See him, see him, Michael?
20654Shall I be blasted by this false lightning?"
20654So what about the next step?
20654So what have you?
20654Some must know what a child beholds, when it looks at a horse, and what it means when it says,"Why is grass green?"
20654Suppose you want to look a tree in the face?
20654That is, does he follow the smell of the leather itself, or the vibration track of the individual whose vitality is communicated to the leather?
20654The atom?
20654Then say to yourself:"Why am I in such a fluster?"
20654Therefore, why should they make a pretense of it?
20654Was man, the eternal protagonist, born of woman, from her womb of fathomless emotion?
20654Was the building of the cathedrals a working up towards the act of coition?
20654Was the dynamic impulse sexual?
20654Well, then, what about it?
20654What ails you, you whiner?"
20654What does all this mean?
20654What have we got that will carry through?
20654What is he actually to do with his sensual, sexual self?
20654What is sex, really?
20654What is the good of a tree desiring to fly like a bird in the sky, when a bird is rooted in the earth as surely as a tree is?
20654What is the good of trying to break away from one''s own?
20654What now, that the upper centers are finely active in positivity?
20654What, do n''t you believe it?
20654When a child says,"Why is grass green?"
20654When did any machine, even a single spinning- wheel, automatically evolve itself?
20654Where are the white negroid teeth?
20654Where does he even keep his soul?--Where does anybody?
20654Where in us are the sharp and vivid teeth of the wolf, keen to defend and devour?
20654Where?
20654Why did we fall into this gnawing disease of unappeasable dissatisfaction?
20654Why does the dream- process act so?
20654Why force abstractions and kill the reality, when there''s no need?
20654Why should we cram the mind of a child with facts that have nothing to do with his own experiences, and have no relation to his own dynamic activity?
20654Why should you?
20654Why try coaxing and logic and tricks with children?
20654Why were we driven out of Paradise?
20654Will you?"
20654With what result?
20654With what result?
20654With what result?
20654Yes, he did--"Now who will tell me that this talk has any rhyme or reason?
20654Yet is this dynamic flow inevitably sexual in nature?
20654You know that, do n''t you, dear?
20654You''ll want to have a dear little baby, wo n''t you, darling?
20654or"Do you call that sloppy thing a church?"
11965How do I love thee? 11965 A man may have no ear for music, and yet be a good and noble man; but who will deny that he lacks something because he has it not? 11965 Again, this morality for which( it is affirmed) society is prepared to pay so horrible a price-- what is it? 11965 And for what purpose is a child to be brought into the world under conditions so imperfect? 11965 And if not, why not? 11965 And on what, in the end, is it based?
11965And people begin to ask;"What real difference can a mere ceremony make?"
11965And what are a child''s rights?
11965And when people enter on this relationship, how are they prepared?
11965And when you see the extreme result, the prude on one side, the rake on the other, do you not begin to desire a better way?
11965And why?
11965Are her"morals"then at the mercy of another person?
11965But what should be the nature of that concern?
11965But why do you desire it to be easy to judge?
11965But yet, is it not a heroic path that I point out to you?
11965Can one take such a gift lightly, and pass from one relationship to another with a readiness which would seem contemptible in a friend?
11965Can you take that-- and give it-- and pass on, as though it were a light thing?
11965Did God join those two together?
11965Do you imagine that because you have a contract to protect you while you do it, you are doing what is moral?
11965Do you know how many of those married people seized the opportunity to desert each other and go and marry somebody else?
11965Do you remember the cry of Julie in"The Three Daughters of M. Dupont"?
11965Do you think that medicine will ever be able to rid the world of what are called the diseases of immorality as long as immorality remains?
11965Do you wonder if the term"old maid"has become synonym for everything that is narrow, and hard, and prudish and repressive?
11965Does anyone suppose that it was a mere instinct of asceticism that drove St. Francis to make out of snow, cold images of wife and child?
11965Does she reason all that out?
11965Does that mean that he regrets his choice?
11965Have they not born into the world with travail of soul, the souls of men and women?
11965How are we to know?
11965How are we, who have many friends, many neighbours, on whom our standards must react, to judge their lives?
11965How could one so physically vital, so humanly and divinely full of love, escape the conflict?
11965How many have even tried to understand?
11965How many have refrained from scorn?
11965How on earth does that change anything at all?
11965How shall they see clearly whom we have clothed in darkness, or judge truly who are so terribly alone?
11965How would He have developed that spiritual power, how would He have become so great a Lover of the world if He knew nothing of that side of life?
11965If it is not given outright in the belief that the gift is final, can the"experiment"be valid?
11965If they affirm"the right to motherhood"when they want children, or the satisfaction of the sex- instinct when that need becomes imperious?
11965If they determine to snatch at anything that yet lies in their grasp?
11965If this be the normal vocation of the normal woman how many of these have been deprived of all that seemed to them to make life worth living?
11965In marriage is it possible to know finally until the final step is taken?
11965In other words, should physical union be the expression of spiritual union?
11965In what way do they differ?
11965Is it anything but prostitution to sell yourself for money, whether you are a man or a woman?
11965Is it astonishing if they rebel?
11965Is it not certain that the expression of love does intensify and deepen love?
11965Is it really fair to say to them that their moral standards are going down, that they have no sense now of morality or self- respect?
11965Is it the"outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace?"
11965Is it worth such a price?
11965Is not the"moral problem"really created, not by human nature, but by the attempt to bind what can not be bound and to coerce what should be free?
11965Is not this very sense of finality-- this desire to give and burn one''s ships-- of the very essence of love?
11965Is passion a cause or an effect?
11965Is that difficult to believe in these days, when psychology is teaching us how all- important thought is?
11965Is that not the height and depth of cruelty?
11965Is the whole community willing to pay it, or is it exacted from us alone?
11965Is there any mockery of motherhood more complete than this sacrifice of the child to the mother?
11965Is there one here who is not conscious of some dislocation in his life that he must combat?
11965Is there one whit of difference, morally, between the prostitution that has no legal recognition and the prostitution that has?
11965Is this the ideal of the Sermon on the Mount?
11965Is this to abandon the ideal I have been upholding?
11965Is this to be a cause for divorce?
11965It is something, however?
11965Looking at marriage from that point of view, can one desire that it should be anything less than permanent, indissoluble?
11965Marriage should be indissoluble; but what is marriage?
11965May I sketch what I imagine is the experience of most people?
11965Men and women claim the right to"experience,"but experience of what?
11965Or is it a means by which that grace is achieved?
11965Or who, having loved in any of these ways, will lightly break the bond?
11965Ought you to find it hard to believe that what you do in the utmost secrecy affects others, since it affects you, and no man lives to himself alone?
11965Should it ever be exclusive or proprietary?
11965Should love ever be other than perfectly free, and is not the attempt to bind it essentially"immoral"?
11965That which God made, and, therefore, which no man should put asunder?
11965There is another test also for love: Does it express itself naturally and rightly?
11965There we cease to be literal: how then can we fall back on a literal interpretation at another point?
11965This little set of iron rules makes it very easy to judge, does it not?
11965To ask yourself whether there is not a third choice before you?
11965To have so great and wonderful a thing in your nature and to suppress it as though it were something shameful and weak?
11965To some people it seems to be immoral even to ask the question-- on what are your moral standards based?
11965V THE MORAL STANDARD OF THE FUTURE: WHAT SHOULD IT BE?
11965We do not do it with the other virtues: why do we desire to do it with this one?
11965What answer then shall we give to the rising generation which questions us--"On what do you base your moral standards?"
11965What difference has been made in their relation to each other?
11965What does she buy?
11965What is the significance of such teaching?
11965What should we-- the community-- hold up as the right standard of sex- relationship, and what methods should we use to impose it on others?
11965What then should those do who have this temperament?
11965What woman that hast lost her husband does not realize the truth of what I say?
11965What, then, are the realities of our nature?
11965What?
11965When a woman sells her body for money, do you think that it makes it moral that she does it in a church or in a registry office?
11965When shall we learn that every human being is a unity, and that to ignore any part of it-- body, mind or spirit-- is idiotic?
11965When you hear of a Beethoven deaf or of a Robert Louis Stevenson spitting blood, are you not conscious of disharmony?
11965Where is your little set of rules?
11965Where then lies the difficulty, since probably men and women alike would agree that what I have said is true?
11965Who can say:"These people are moral because they are married, and those are immoral, they are not married?"
11965Who knows what is our ultimate goal?
11965Who knows yet of what it is capable?
11965Who shall deliver us from this body of death?
11965Who shall say that he is wrong?
11965Who that has once heard this can easily take anything less?
11965Whose nature is all harmony?
11965Whose temperament guarantees him from temptation?
11965Why have we done it?
11965Why have we persisted?
11965Why should she not cheat and thieve?
11965Why should you?
11965Why?
11965Why?
11965know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"
29896; why the Jews claimed to be God''schosen people;"what makes for"immortal godhood?
29896But,questions the initiate,"why can not those who know, if there be such in the world today, give us this mystical formula?
29896159 Can there be standards of morality in the sex- relation; if so what are they?
29896; what is the symbolical"flaming sword?
29896An abstract principle called God, or Aum or any other impersonal formless all- inclusive Being?
29896And is marital infidelity in such instances immoral?
29896Applying this truth to individual human life, and we have what?
29896Are all marriages that are not soul- mate unions immoral?
29896Are our social conditions so ideal that they can not be improved?
29896Are they immoral, and are they to be abandoned?
29896Are they immoral?
29896Are they less courageous than their progenitors?
29896Are they to be abandoned as of no value?
29896Ask one hundred men or one hundred women this question:"Is the sex- relation right or wrong?"
29896But in what does the misfortune consist, and wherein are they ruined?
29896But is it not possible that women no longer need restraint if they ever needed it?
29896But is our morality so tender that it needs protection?
29896But what of our modern Christian creeds, and their idea of the Holy Trinity composed of three male beings?
29896But why stone anybody?
29896Byron says:"There are two souls of equal flow, Whose gentle streams so calmly run, That when they part-- they part?

29896CHAPTER VII SOUL- UNION: WHERE WILL IT LEAD?
29896CHAPTER XI THE LAW OF TRANSMUTATION 209 The spiritual cause of all physical activity; two words that are of vital import today; did Jesus lie?
29896Can there, then, be established a universal standard of sexual morality?
29896Do men and women who are living in secret unfaithfulness hold exalted ideals of sex?
29896Do skyscrapers, or air ships, or wireless telegraph systems make us happier?
29896Does not everything point to it?
29896Does the libertine believe in the sacredness of sex?
29896Does the prostitute claim for herself spotless purity?
29896For are we not promised, the"glory of the world"if we will seek and find?
29896Has it any real place and purpose beyond that of procreation, or any more spiritual function than the perpetuation of the human species?
29896How did the"Holy Family"differ from other families?
29896How else can it be?
29896How is it possible to have a perfect flower-- a healthy, normal and wholesome sprout from a diseased root?
29896How much more, then, should you guard the honor of your wife, from these pestilential marauders?"
29896How, then, can we say that love is always pure when it leads to such disaster?
29896If it is immoral to be born, no matter what the conditions of such birth, what possible chance have we to live morally?
29896If so, why, and if not why not?
29896If they do, is it not because of their ethical rather than their so- called practical value?
29896If we prefer to use the word God, then let us say why can not we trust God?
29896Is a woman ever unfortunate if she gives birth to a child because she has loved, and because she loves the child?
29896Is it applied to women of the half- world, to recognized, and legalized prostitution?
29896Is it fame, or wealth, or lands, or gems or kingdoms?
29896Is it not because they prove to man his power to use the plastic material of the planet and control it to do his bidding?
29896Is it to the average man who is known to be a Lothario in matters of sex?
29896Is she ruined in any way except that she becomes the target for our inhumanity; our well- nigh unforgivable stupidity?
29896Is this fact so unmanifest?
29896It is said of the sages of India that they can live in the jungles and the ferocious tigers will not harm them; how do they accomplish this?
29896Mankind has always been promised immortality through spiritual union-- with what?
29896May this not be Nature''s revenge upon our inhuman treatment of girls who become mothers without first becoming wives?
29896Most"Civic- Leaguers"and members of"Vice- Commissions"( why that name, anyway?)
29896Now, the only question asked is,"Is she efficient?"
29896Or are women less capable of love-- either love of children or love of the father who begets the children?
29896The question then arises:"Are we to consider it moral and legitimate for women to have children before they have been married?"
29896They may become masons( builders of the temple), but how can they become Architects, when they have not entered the tabernacle?
29896To whom is this epithet most frequently applied?
29896What Constitutes Success?
29896What Is Personal Magnetism?
29896What constitutes the beauty and the value of gems-- diamonds; rubies; sapphires; emeralds; topaz; pearls?
29896What did it feed upon?
29896What is its function in the life of the social body; in the existence of the sphere itself; of the entire Cosmos?
29896What is the cause?
29896What is the glory of the world?
29896What is this but prostitution?
29896What, for example, is there in a modern sky- scraper indicative of man''s advanced civilization?
29896Whence came this wonderful thing manifested as generative power?
29896Which was the more worthy of deification-- the yoni, or the phallus?
29896Who has constituted you book- keeper for the universe?
29896Who is the more chaste?
29896Why are women refusing to marry, or when they do marry refusing to live with their husbands?
29896Why can not we trust the Cosmic Law which has always given us a better ideal in the place of the decadent one?
29896Why do they not tell us how we may reach this desirable state of spiritual sex- love, which affords such divine happiness to those who find it?"
29896Why do they shrink from child- birth?
29896Why should it not manifest in this most important of all our systems of intercourse?
29896Why?
29896With a sentiment such as this between two beings, what need for vows and promises, and bonds?
29896Woman, or man?
29896Would you attain to the status of the divine man?
29896_ Counterpartal Sex- union._ CHAPTER VII SOUL- UNION: WHERE WILL IT LEAD?
29896is monogamy the ideal sex relationship?
29896is polygamy a future possibility?
29896is the kingdom within an actual truth?
29896mistaken ideas of morality in dress and manners; what sort of beings constitute"the kingdom of God?"
29896the ark in religious symbology; its interior meaning; what were the"tablets of stone?"
29896the reality of the"cherubim"and the"seraphim;"the inner meaning of the symbolical"ark of the Covenant;"is spiritual love devoid of sex?
29896the theory of"counterparts"and its spiritual significance; is procreation the highest function of sex; what constitutes the fundamental law of love?
29896too much made of the marriage ceremony and too little of fitness; is it better to be"respectably bonded"or spiritually mated?
29896what is the"bliss of Nirvana?"
29896what is to be done with sex relations that are not spiritual unions?
29896why the average"Knight Templar"fails to attain the powers and privileges of esoteric Free- masonry; what is the"gate of life?"
19924And now tell me, friend of mine, did you not recognize an old acquaintance in the lady we have been watching so closely? 19924 Oh, my dear, we shall get along very well, I am sure; you love me, do n''t you?"
19924Well, wife, what are we going to do? 19924 What shall I do with him?
19924''"[ 36][ Footnote 36:"Is It I?"]
19924A shiftless spendthrift must choose for a helpmeet(?)
19924According to this rule, a man or woman of large combativeness should select a partner equally inclined to antagonism; then we should have-- what?
19924After having duly considered the causes and effects of this terrible evil, the question next in order for consideration is, How shall it be cured?
19924And what would be the progeny of such unions?
19924And, if it serves a wise and good purpose with them, why should an opposite course not serve an unwise and bad purpose with us?
19924Are its feeble first strugglings any evidence of its presence?
19924As a learned professor remarks, in speaking of woman,"Who has a right to regard her as a therapeutic agent?"
19924As one says,"What is more offensive than the breath of a costive child?"
19924Boys, are you guilty of this terrible sin?
19924Boys, are you guilty?
19924Boys, do you love what is noble, what is pure, what is grand, what is good?
19924Brutes and Savages More Considerate.--It is only the civilized, Christianized(?)
19924But if colds and great strain upon the parts in question develop such diseases, why are they not seen among the inferior animals?
19924But who has not felt the cruel power of these unseen foes?
19924Can the unwelcome fruit of a rape be considered, what every child has a right to be, a pledge of affection?
19924Can we find such influences?
19924Did you ever stop to think how idiots are made?
19924Difficulties.--Married people will exclaim,"What shall we do?"
19924Do you not remember it altogether?
19924Do you value life, health, beauty, honor, virtue, purity?
19924Does not he who is prodigal of himself precipitate his own ruin?
19924Does this fact afford any proof that those crimes are virtues instead of vices?
19924Has he a good situation, with prospects of being able to support his wife comfortably and provide for a family?"
19924Has it any appreciable quantity at birth?
19924Has it any valuable, useful quantity even when a year old?
19924Has the young lady been so educated as to be self- sustaining if necessary?
19924Has the young man a home or the wherewithal to obtain one?
19924Has the young man a trade?
19924Have not Christian women a duty here?
19924Have you ever once dared to commit this awful sin?
19924How does extravagance lead to unchastity?
19924How shall we live?"
19924How, then, is it possible for her thus to defile and destroy herself?
19924How, then, will he dare to defile himself in the presence of Him from whose all- seeing eye nothing is hid?
19924I have, it is true, met the complaint, but in what class of cases does it occur?
19924If he is unsuccessful in the conflict, is he alone to blame?
19924In this country,--a civilized, so- called Christian country, blessed with all the enlightenment of the nineteenth century, what do we see?
19924Is it a crime to strangle an infant at birth?
19924Is it a murderous act to destroy a half- formed human being in its mother''s womb?
19924Is it a sin to kill a child?
19924Is it immoral to take human life?
19924Is it not a fearful thing?
19924Is it possible that such boys can become good, useful, noble, trustworthy men?
19924Is not the thought appalling?
19924Is there not an unfair discrimination here?
19924Life Force.--To every thinking mind the question often recurs, What makes the fragrant flower so different from the dead soil from which it grows?
19924Look but at the progeny of such marriages; what is its value?
19924No one dare to approach her without consent before marriage; and why should man not be educated up to the point of doing the same after marriage?
19924Ought it not to be considered a crime against childhood and against the race to do otherwise?
19924Shall a woman be allowed more than one husband, as is actually the case in some countries?
19924Should not the seducer be blackened with an infamy at least as deep as that which society casts on the one betrayed?
19924So what do we oftenest observe?
19924Such will inquire,"Is there not some compromise by means of which we may escape the greater evils of our present mode of life?"
19924Ten years face to face with this poor idiot, whose imbecility was her direct work-- has it not punished her sufficiently?"
19924The ancients ate but two meals a day; why should moderns eat three or four?
19924The inquiry arises, What are the causes of so monstrous a vice?
19924The inquiry naturally arises, What shall be done under these circumstances?
19924Then, who can refuse assent to the plain truth that it is equally a murder to deprive of life the most recent product of the generative act?
19924This may be a truth hard to accept, but who is prepared to dispute it on logical or moral grounds?
19924What Makes Idiots.--Reader, have you ever seen an idiot?
19924What May Be Done?--But what is the practical conclusion to be drawn from all the foregoing?
19924What can she do?
19924What is it that is undermining the health of the race and sapping the constitutions of our American men?
19924What reason is there that the subject of the sexual functions should be treated with such maudlin secrecy?
19924What subtle power paints the rose, and tunes the merry songster''s voice?
19924What wonder that prostitution flourishes in spite of Christianity and civil law?
19924What_ should_ people do?
19924When children are raised upon such articles, or upon food with which they are thoroughly mingled, what wonder that they occasionally"turn out bad"?
19924When is the period that intelligence comes to the infant?
19924When, then, is it, that destruction is harmless or comparatively sinless?
19924Who can estimate the load of guilt that weighs upon some human souls?
19924Who can number the myriads of murders that have been perpetrated at this early period of existence?
19924Who will dare to answer"No,"to one of these questions?
19924Who will not respect the purity which must characterize sexual relations so governed?
19924Why does not Mr. Bergh exercise his function in such cases?
19924Why may she not claim protection from other maltreatment as well?
19924Why not two or half a dozen instead?
19924Why should it be considered an improper or immoral thing to limit the number of children according to the circumstances of the parents?
19924Why should so vile a crime as fornication be taken under legal protection more than stealing or the lowest forms of gambling?
19924Why should the function of generation be regarded as something low and beastly, unfit to be spoken of by decent people on decent occasions?
19924Would he dare commit such a sin in the presence of his father, his mother, or his sisters?
19924Young man, youth, have you taken the first step on this evil road?
19924a terrible vice?
19924and what will he do with me?"
19924and who knows how many brilliant lights have been thus early extinguished?
