OF the human nature are in themselves

upon these rests the spiritual nature of

great questions that pertain TO the life
and the relations of the sexes without

nounce one of the greatest criticisms
against the men and women Of our mod

Lester Ward, in his book on social
Dynamics,' speaking OF our false life,
truly says: I'VE find men and women
living together under special and pecu
liar rules of conduct, occupying separate
spheres OF activity, and subjected TO sep
arate and distinct social conditions We
find that society has erected a high bar

A DIVINE INSTITUTION.
We have been taught that marriage Is
a divine institution. In a certain sense
this is true, since a true marriage is a
union of the divinest elements in human
nature The Christian church, before
the day Of science, taught, as a fact
which no man was allowed 10 question,
that the whole human race was derived
from one male and one female being,
two perfect beings specially created.
They were not evolved from a lower or
der OF life, and they were in no vital re-
iation 10 the life around them, but were
suddenly called into being by the fiat
OF Almighty God. Creation was a leap
from nonentlty into perfect being. Man
was created first a male being; all life
is derived from him. Woman was a
second thought o. the Creator. She de-
rived her life from man, the male being.
God fashioned her from portion OF
mans body; thus she had no life and
distinct individuality separate from him.
She was created, We are told. because
ne was lonely. and we are led 10 sup
