nature are at work providing for mans
appetite. That any man, woman or
child is ever hungry is simply the
fruit Of the man himself. There is
lavish provision for clothing. The sup
plv of material exceeds any possible
demand. That any person suffers for
the want of clothing is the fault of
man alone. There is ample provision
Of material for shelter. That any
man suffers for the want Of home
is the fault Of man himself. The
means whereby all the millions of peo-
pie ON the luxurious provision of ma
ture furnishes the means whereby all
the millions Of people on the earth
and an the millions constantly com
ing can have these great necessities
Of existence, food, clothing and home
in its most ample pleasure, and yet
the earth will be wrapped in the lux
ury of great surplus. The i'm
providence Of man, the greed of man,
are the causes of want, Of suffering
and Of crime which follow these con
ditions
There is no physical suffering
which man does not create. Men
will say this is false Somewhow, out
Of a wrongly interpreted theology
comes the impression that the earth
and air, and water and sunlight are
soaked with evil, and that the devil
works on corn roots, specks, apples,
blasts grain, prevents cabbage from
mischief in garden and field. The
only devils at work are those of ig
norance improvdence. laziness, greed
and long line of kindred devils. As
the advertiser says, "The most com
pletc line ever opened
Now, when you come up to kissing
then YOU know, you enter that spirit
ual flower garden wherein we find
the union sweet OF those twin holly
hooks. men and women If the union
is strictly according to nature, and
has no side trills, the result is home,
with all that that blest word implies
And there is no Cyclone. In such
home the kiss is Il thing of delicate
beauty, rare fragrance, and it leads
man and woman up across the green
carpet of many new years, ON to a
silyerheaded goldenhearted age,
and finally carries them on out into
the skies.
We do not know that the angels
who fit through "A wide universe and
see numberless worlds, and all their
glorious wonders, even see anything
finer and more profoundly affecting
than a wife. who after years of wife
hood. stoops down and kisses the lips
of her husband, who lies dead in the
coffin before her. with lips that
through all the long years of life
have retained the purity and truth of
childhood And nothing blacker than
the other side of the picture.
Why should mortals use the most
splendid gifts of creation for pur-
poses of degradation?
The highest powers of manhood
and womanhood are tied up in the
kiss.
Keep your lips pure and keep your
hearts ditto. For after all YOU can
