further opportunity for infidelity; and the sooner we rid the world of
a belief in sin and immorality, the sooner will Love reign.

It is said of the sages of India that they can live in the jungles and
the ferocious tigers will not harm them; how do they accomplish this?

They have disassociated themselves from ferocity. They do not desire
to crush or kill the tiger. Their minds are so filled with love and
compassion that there is no point of connection between them and the
destructive instinct in the beast.

When we get away from the fear of "impure" love; when we get away from
the tremendous load of belief in evil which keeps the back bent and
the eyes lowered to the dust, we will be ready to meet the pure and
perfect love when it comes; and when we are fit for it we will meet it
and when we have found this pearl of great price, all doubt and fear,
all jealousy; all dissatisfaction will vanish. There will be no fear
of "losing" each other. The union is an interior one, and even though
"seas divide and mountains vast, rear their proud crests 'tween thee
and me," the call of soul to soul will be felt and answered. Byron says:

"There are two souls of equal flow,
Whose gentle streams so calmly run,
That when they part--they part? Oh no,
They cannot part, those souls are one."

With a sentiment such as this between two beings, what need for vows
and promises, and bonds?

It is customary for writers on the sex question to emphatically, even
feverishly, emphasize the fact that they have no intention of implying
that they would do away with the bonds of matrimony; and although this
conclusion is inevitable where one's intellect is active and the
faculty of deduction brought into play, yet the false modesty that
prevails and the prejudices that blind the eyes of the multitude, and
above all, the tendency of the undeveloped race-mind to impute
personal motives to such as would, if permitted, lead them to a freer,
and consequently a purer life, impel the writer to deny that which is,
finally, the very point at issue.

In the interest of Truth, we are compelled to state that we would do
away with "bonds." We would substitute therefor mutual agreements,
subject to renewal or repudiation within certain defined and mutually
helpful conditions. Vows and bonds and oaths are the crutches of the
crippled human race. We need not always walk lame.

It may be argued that man is still largely animal; yes, but th
