No matter! I am right, and this justifies my 



position, even though it were not supported by 

 another man. One man in the right is a ma- 

 jority. 



I know human nature. I have made a very 

 careful study of the problem of marital rights. I 

 fully realize that the present population of the 

 earth is made up largely of men and women, and 

 not angels. I know that in the present perverted 

 state of the race there are many who are not able 

 to live up to the true ideal, but the nearer the 

 married live to the law of chastity and restrict 

 their associations to that of lovers, the happier 

 will be their lives and the better it will be for their 

 offspring. 



Fortunately, I am not alone in advocating the 

 law of chastity for the married. There are many 

 strong, vigorous men and thousands of queenly 

 women who take a like position, and out of self- 

 respect and the love of purity, live in accordance 

 with their own ideals. No man has a right to 

 preach what he lacks the moral courage to prac- 

 tice. What base inconsistency for parents who 

 have never learned the lesson of self-control to 

 ask their children to live pure, temperate lives. 

 What a beautiful thing it is when young people 

 can look into the face of their parents and see 

 chastity written there! When both father and 

 mother can say to the son and daughter, "Live 

 as I live. Follow me!" 



There are many families who are living on
