"From the same source, and by the same authority, in response to a
sincere desire for a better definition of the word Sin; we are taught,
that the object and purpose of the existence of this planet, is the
evolution and perfection of the human race. Human life, then, is the
flower and fruit of the planet. As such, it is the direct expression of
a Divine purpose. At the command of a higher law, this life must at all
times, be treated as sacred. From this high rock of observation, we
perceive that all acts, by society or individuals, which tend to
promote, protect and purify this life, are helpful along lines of
evolution; therefore, righteous and good. In their doing, these acts
become the highest expression of a religious duty. On the contrary, all
acts, by society or individuals, which tend to destroy, injure, poison
or sully this sacred life, or to bar its ordained progress, are in
themselves, unholy, wrong and criminal. In commission, these acts become
the greatest of all sins. The logic of this deduction, is beyond
dispute; because they are direct attempts to thwart the progressive and
evolutionary purpose of the planet; therefore, they must be considered
as sins of the first magnitude.
"Second in magnitude, and akin to these in wickedness, is the sin of
society against women. A sin so potent for evil, that at the behest of
selfishness, greed and lust, government, church and society, with one
accord and without a protest, join in denying to woman an existence of
financial independence. This denial makes slaves of women, who should
be noble, pure, self-poised, self-sustaining and absolutely free. But
the acme of wickedness is reached, when this denial reduces women to
creatures of merchandise, when every year, it drives unnumbered
thousands of them to lives of degredation and shame; thus perpetrating
the crime of the century against unborn generations, by tainting and
poisoning the fountain of life at its very source. The new religion has
decreed, that the mothers of a perfected republic, must of a necessity,
be both pure and free. It purposes to cure this crime, by working
through the strong arms of an ever-increasing series, of unselfish
co-operative brotherhoods, where a progressive union of agriculture, and
stirpiculture, shall provide for and protect both mothers and children;
at the same time furnishing the ways and means, which offer an
honorable, useful self-sustaining existence to all woman kind, be they
wives, mothers, sisters or sweethearts.
