 ive mentality, there is a subjective nature, an So^ 1 Harmony, 

 independent entity, called the soul, which must 

 be mated if marriage is to be complete and chil- 

 dren well born. 



The basis of soul-harmony lies back of all phy- 

 siological and temperamental conditions. It is 

 impossible, therefore, to judge wholly from ex- 

 ternal appearances who are, and who are not, well 

 mated. Those whose souls are calculated to form 

 a perfect union are often drawn together by a 

 natural affinity that is inexplicable on the basis 

 of objective appearances or mentality. Their sub- 

 jective minds readily communicate with each 

 other, producing a perfect understanding with 

 scarcely a word ; there is a telepathic communica- Love's

 has a language whereby it expresses its yearnings 

 to its mate; a language that can never be trans- 

 lated into words, yet forms a perfect means of 

 communication. Where natures are not in soul- 

 harmony they are often unable to understand 

 each other, even with the aid of an attorney ! 



Sameness of texture, or organic quality is the

 Variations in organic quality are observable 

 throughout all nature, even among members of 

 the same class or species. Some trees are fine 

 grained, others are coarse; high grade animals
