MOST UNSELFISH LOVE IN AMERICA
Highest Type Known Represented in Devotion
of Typical Wives and Husbands.
BY ANGELA MORGAN

wholly selfish passion holds within it the
seeds of it's own destruction Whereas,
an unselfish affection, based on pure mo-
tives and high impulses. and the desire
to share with it's object the burdens as
well as the joys of existence, Is It's own
assurance OF perpetuation.
At this stage of humanity's progress II
IS perhaps impossible to find any love that
has no element Of selfshness In 1t. Yet
1 do not at all agree with the pessimists
who would have US believe that men and
women to-day are incapable of unselfish
devotion; that marriage is failure and
love itself unattainable-
On the contrary. / think, all conditions
considered, we see abundant evidence of
the most sublime affection in our midst
every day and every hour. All about US
men and women are sacrificing them
selves and conquering self for loves sake.
Love proves itself In works-in deeds.
And 1t is my opinion that the highest,
most unselfish sort of love known at pres
ent is represented in the devotion Of the
typical American husband to his wife and
family and the loyalty OF the American
wife in helping her husband fight his
battles.

REPLIES TO ATTACK ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

To the Editor of The Call:
The Boston dispatch in yesterdays is
sue of your good paper concerning the
assertions of DIR. Charles G. Pease about
Christian Science and its practice con-
tains SO much that Is untrue and mis-
leading that / ask the privilege of MAX
ing a statement in reply.
Over a year ago this same DR.. Pease
tried to make trouble in the New York
church, but his statements were shown
to be untrue and had no weight with the
church members. This present outbreak
seems to be of similar character and Is
equally false.
Those who have any real knowledge Of
the teachings of Christian Science know
that 1t demands the highest standard of
Christian character and practice. and
that the spiritual healing of this science
has nothing in common with hypnotiSm
or any evil mental influence. The asser-
ton that there is "a conspiracy In the
formation of clubs throughout the land"
or any attacks by thought and sugges-
ton" is absolutely false, for CHRISTIAN
Scientists do not organize clubs and any
mental malpractice is contrary to Chris
tian Science and Is prohibited. 1t Is only
through the power of God that the true
healing work of Christian Science Is ac-
complished and this power is not dan
gerous, but b1esses all mankind.

RI NOT the quality of ones love
wholly dependent upon the charac-
ter of the individual? If the indi-
vidual is selfish will not the love be
selfish too?" asks "a Daily Reader"
In my opinion 1t is charac cter above ev-
erything else that determines the quality
Of human love. Birth, breeding, tempera-
ment, education, all these things have a
potent influence In coloring love, but 1t is
character that decides its real nature.
II the individual is selfish the love will
be selfish. no matter to what stratum Of
society that individual belongs-whether
he be educated or illiterate, rich or poor,
refined or uncultured-
Human beings express love according to
their degree of soul development-in other
words. according to the character they
have attained No one can experience
any higher love than his development will
permit.
The hulking brute whose cruelty drives
his wife to the police court to seek the
protection OF the law no doubt believes
he loves the woman he has espoused.
Love to him and to all men OF his type
means the passion for ownership and its
natural expression takes the form Of re-
peated attempts to assert authorIty as
master of the woman
This is love manifesting through the
brute consciousness. Yet higher up in the
scale of society a love quite as selfish
may be found-a love qul.e as brutal in
deed, except that it manifests in more
refined form.
A man of culture and intellect may ex
hibit his authority just as positively, but
in different ways. He may be just as
brutal, just as cruel to his wife in the
subtler things that mean mental and spir-
itual torture. His superior brain and his
superior advantages do not make him
more capable of loving worthily.
Character is a separate and distinct
achievement, and without 1t no human
being can love nobly and unselfishly.
Love in Its fullness. is not merely a
glowing emotion-an inroxication of the
senses 1t is more-an elevating and
stimulating Influence that appeals to
spirit as well as sense.
The highest love embodies the spiritual
qualities, and in it's very nature is un-
selfish. hence 1t is capable of enduring.
The more selfishness there is In love
the surer and sooner is its death. A
