Qo_{n}n11§HRU all time, the human mind has looked

'P' 4' and loving companionship. The loving dis~
'P ti' ciple John said, "God is Love and he that
6(4~#¥"¥*% dwellers in love dwenenh in God." That
divine spark in the human breast causes this ideality, and
as all knowledge is gained only thru experience, the world
has been experimenting on these divine principles until
the majority of the human family have come to the conclusion
that no human love can be continuous; and it has
been debased into the grossest passion, until mere licentiousness
has become so prevalent that many think it the
normal course of life: and we believe there are, because
of it, to-day, more unmarried men and women
than in
any other period of the world's history; certain it is that
there are many more divorces. If we should say that
this is because of a higher state of intelligence, it would
no doubt call out criticism, but such is undoubtedly true;
for all true intelligence arises from the consciousness of
the soul.
It is well known to the mental philosopher that the
physical brain can not, and does not, furnish the knowledge
that is possest by the truly intellectual. The soul
seldom forgets any experience of its entire existence,
while the brain is continually forgetting the past, and
living in the present and future. This is right and good,
