Thoughts For The Times
Purity in Social Life. Sir W Flail Caine in a foreword to “The Master of Man,” his latest work, •says the story was written to show that a young man’s duty both to himself and his species is to marry, as early as he can, the woman he loves; that until that woman appears, and .becomes possible to him, his nearest duty is to remain pure, to control himself, and to abide his time; that such restraints and such unions have their moral blessings as well as their physical benefits, and that in the • present effort towards the reconstruction of the world, the rages which openly disregard this law and aim of human life are doomed to-extinc-tion, while the future is to those that preserve the purity of marriage and the sanctity of the family on the sole , foundation of love.
