nt sex worship to
the present extreme of sex degradation, shall soon be established in its
rightful place. It is not the purpose of this book to deal with this
important subject, so we will say no more here.

Nevertheless, this saying attributed to Jesus, the Christ, resurrected as
it has been in this century, is timely. It is almost universally conceded
that the time of the "Second Coming of Christ" is already at hand. Just
what this second coming means, is interpreted differently by theologians,
philosophers, scientists, poets and prophets, but there is a unanimous
belief that the time is here and now.

Those who have the comprehension to read the signs of the times, are
cheerfully expectant of radical changes in our attitude toward the function
of sex and the divinity of love.

"When the two shall be one, and the outside as the inside, and the male as

Then Salome said to him:

"Then have I done well that I have not given birth?"

To this the Lord replied:

"Eat of every herb, but of the bitter one eat not."

When Salome asked when it shall be known what she asked, the Lord said:

"When you tread under foot the covering of shame, and when two is made one,
and the male with the female, neither male nor female."

"How be it, he who longs to be rich is like a man who drinketh sea water:
the more he drinketh the more thirsty he becomes, and never leaves off
drinking till he perish."

"Blessed is he who also fasts that he may feed the poor, for it is more
blessed to give than to receive."
