n God conceived the human race He ensured its perpetuation by
designing a method whereby this would be rendered possible: He did more;
He wisely decided that the function, involving the very existence of the
human race, should be attended with a sentient gratification. He further
instilled into the fundamental economy of mankind, sex attraction, which
is involuntary, undeniable, and unquenchable. If God conceived the means
and the method, no human mind in possession of its faculties should see
evil where it does not exist. It was by Him designed that the male organ
of reproduction should deposit its germinating fluid in the vagina of
the female, and this is accomplished by a union of species.

The one set of reproductive organs is a complement of the other, and
essential to the other. It is by this act that the male spermatozoa is
enabled to complete the function of fecundation.

If now we assume the male and female element to have met and united,
menstruation does not take place. The egg or embryo (the future child)
begins to grow, and it remains in the womb for two hundred and eighty
days from the day when the male and female egg met. It is quite natural
for an intelligent girl to ask her mother to explain, "How a baby can
live in there for such a long time," or "What makes it grow if it does
not get anything to eat or drink."

HOW THE BABY GETS ITS NOURISHMENT IN THE WOMB.--These questions can be
answered in this way. While the baby is in its little comfortable home
it gets everything it needs. You are in your home now. If you wanted a
drink, what would you do? Wouldn't you go to the water faucet and draw a
glass of water? The water comes to you through a pipe, right into your
home, you don't have to go out of the house to get it. And if you wanted
light when it is dark you would turn on the gas and light it. It, too,
comes into your home through a pipe. Now baby gets its air; and food,
and all it needs to drink in just that way. There are two little pipes
which go into its nest or home, and then into the baby's body at the
navel, and through these pipes fresh blood runs in and out. When mother
breathes, her blood sucks up oxygen from the air in her lungs, and the
blood carries oxygen to every part of her body. In this way, all parts
are supplied with the proper quantity of air. Now the baby is simply a
new part of mamma as long as it is in its nest in her body, so it too
gets air in this way. When mother eats, the
