Against Improper Familiarity Between the Sexes
A LENGTHY communication, for all of which we have not space, has been received from Sr. M. M. Osgood, of Rochester, N. Y. She wishes to say to the brethren and sisters, that she has become fully satisfied of the evil tendency of that philosophy so strenuously advocated by some, of association and familiarity between the sexes; a philosophy which she has in times past looked upon with more or less favor. In the conclusion of her communication she says: “The truth looks more and more precious. As the way grows narrower, the more do I delight to walk in it; for there is not room to see much now only what is before us, and that object is altogether lovely, is all light and radiant with love. My hope of tarrying till Jesus comes is very feeble now; but I am trying to get ready for the time of reckoning, that whether I wake or sleep, my name may be retained in the book of life. May the Lord keep us from falling until the sealing is over.”
