Mr.. Sunday took his text from Sec
ond Kings, ": 2S-26--"Is it well with
thee? Is 1t well with thy husband?
1t is well with the child?''
Il guess the oma who went TO
meet Gehaz must have been a new
woman of the oIden times, for she
didn't say anything about her hus-
band.
Society has put maternity out of
fashion. / do feel a great pity for the
child born to a governess and fed on
baby food and matted milk while the
mother hugs and kisses a brindlenosed
pup, hits the booze and gads about in
society. That child had better be
turned over to the wolf like Romulus
and Remus. ..
Vanity, social aspirations, ignorance
and diseases are combining against
maternity. I guess the stork is a dis
eliminating bird in these days. Go to
the Ansonia flats in New York and OBJ
serve the small percentage of babies in
the families and then go over on the
other side of the city and see the per-
centage owe there. In twenty-seven
families there were ninety eight chill
dren in one place. The stork is GER
tainly discriminating.
Many girls marry 70 reverything but
love. Social ambition, Incidence,
avarice often cause marriages.
Lots Of girls endure wifehood rs
the price they pay for a fine home,
clothes and having a chauffeur drive
them around. They aren't accumulated
by love. They are only empty shells,
not women at all. Maternity, in my
mind, is the highest thing in human
possibility; but it's considered an in
convenience and many a matron of
today prides herself , L her knowledge
Of p~reventatives. You may lift your
head high, women, but God will damn
you.
Some girls marry for the novelty Of
1t, for a life Of ease, for money and to
climb the rounds of. the social ladder.
They marry whiskey-soaked libertines
to reform them. Girls, please inform
him that you are not running a Keely
institute.
The biggest fool on Gods earth is
the girl who marries a man to reform
him. He wouldn't reform you. cloud
applause.) Society girls keep company
with a fellow who spends three nights
a week with a prostitute and three
with her-and his character is so black
it would make a mark on a piece of
tar paper.
Il don't know whether I'm telling
you anything you don't know or not,
but I'll bet you could tell me some
things I don't know.
I'll Fix Your Hubby.
"Ts it well with thee as a mother?
Is it well with the husband? Send him
to me next Sunday and after I'm
through with him if he don't treat
you better, then he is a brute.
Il don't wonder that some marriages
are failures. Some girls are poorly
trained and some aren't trained at all.
Some girls will launch the matrimonial
boat, stick the oars in, and give it a
try anyway, and that's the reason for
so many broken-hearted wives. If I'd
tell the fizzle-headed sissy, she's go
out and do what l told her not to-.
Have character enough in your make
up, girls to marry a christian man. If
he in an infidel, pass him up so quick
his head will swim.
"Girls don't worry if you never get
married. There are NJ old maids, of
course-only ladies in waiting. There
are a whole lot worse things than be-
ing an old matchmaking the wrong
4 for one. I'd rather be an old
maid, knotted, gnarled, with a house
full Of cats and canary birds than to
be tied up to some blasphemous, whis-
k~y-soaked jug handle for a husband.
UCirI1 5Nns+ i~nnor n-z Ina1n .sJIx,
If you're in love. There's nothing silly
about love although a whole lot of
people in love are silly. Love is the
divinest gift in the world outside of
salvation. Don't let your actions adj
v~ertise, Man Wanted That's the sur
est way not to get one. Many an old
maid is such because she did more
than her share of counting. Don't get
excited and hurry the match along.
If he is a real man you'll drive him
away. And girls don't transfer the love
God gave you to, bestow OF a baby to
a poodle dog.
Mothers, don't teach your daugh-
tiers that the only thing in the world
is to get married.
"No man eve goes to perdition but
what he usually drags some n with
him, and it's usually some fair girl.
"TIow many women talk to their
children about things they should
know? You turn them loose on tina
streets and let them learn it from the
outside. DE
Ladies of Fargo, you'd be dumb
founded to know how early a child will
learn evil. It's a fight and battle all
the time to keep children clean NOR
ally, and the public schools are sat
urated with evil. That's the reason
for the establishment of so many pri-
vate schools.
"You women will have to start the
agitation for sex hygiene in schools
/ hope to see the time when 1t will be
a part of the school curriculum. (At
this the whole tabernacle of women
broke into applause.)
"I'd rather have my children taught
sex hygiene than have their heads
poked full of Latin and Greek. You
let the children learn from bitter e
p~erience what you should tell them
Eliminate the morbid curiosity BY
making them understand in theil
childish way.
