ce of human lovers.

An Utopian dream it appears, if we note but one side of the picture.
If we consider the lightness with which so many men look upon the
physical form of women; and if we realize the attitude of so many
women toward men, in their conflict with life, using the age-old dowry
from mother Eve, of sex, as a weapon of defense and of offense; if we
listen to the ribald songs that offend our ears and nauseate our
souls, not only in music-halls and on the streets, but in supposedly
cultured homes; and above all if we contemplate the uncleanness of
mind displayed by those who are really in earnest in their endeavor to
uplift the moral tone of the world.

These latter are, by far, the worst enemies to the Regeneration of
Sex. A wise man once said, "Save me from my friends; I can protect
myself against my enemies"--and so it is in this instance.

Most "Civic-Leaguers" and members of "Vice-Commissions" (why that
name, anyway?) are infected with the bacteria of sex-degradation.
They really require a lengthy process of mental disinfection, before
attempting to handle so delicate a problem as this one of sexual
uplift.

A woman member of a Young People's Civic League of the second largest
city in the United States recently declared in public print, of the
beautiful and chaste painting "September Morn," that it was "lewd,
filthy, and suggestive of unclean things." This type of woman is
intrusted with the task of teaching youthful minds; polluting them
with the blasphemous affirmation that the Creation of the
Father-Mother God of the universe is "lewd and filthy!"

Let us get this truth implanted in our mentality, as it is inrooted in
our souls, namely:

Sex is always the purest, the holiest, and the most sacred thing in
the universe--because God is Him-Her-Self, bi-sexual. The
righteousness of it cannot be determined by so fickle a thing as man's
customs; cannot be dependent upon mortal laws. This statement,
indisputable as it is, will nevertheless start a chain of thought
which may lead to confusion; and it is because of this tendency to
confusion that the real issue is so frequently avoided. But let us see
if we may not dispel the confusion by a system of logical deduction.

One thing is certain. The present condition of the Sex-problem is
sadly chaotic. If we cannot hope to clarify it to the comprehension of
the average, we may at least do so for some.

One of the first objections to the acceptance of the
