A recent periodical very truly and graphically says: “All the wars of the last five hundred years, with their total of mental and physical agony, with their privation and hardship, with all their expenditure of blood and treasure, are insignificant compared to the suffering and financial loss caused by immorality. When wars are finished, their dead are only dead. After years of famine and the sweep of the pestilence, come other years of plenty and of health. The curse of immorality, however, lives on and on for years, blighting the lives of innocent people, and forever creating sorrow and wrecking the health of the race as it passes along. Its effects are felt long after he who caused and transmitted them has been forgotten. As a source of moral and physical deterioration, it has no parallel in the history of the world.” And therefore the very first thing that any man can do for himself, for his family, for his race, for the good of the world in which he lives, and for those who are to be here when he is gone, is to lead a clean moral life. What a black tragedy it makes of life to pass through the world smirching everything one touches with a curse more low and defiling than the rottenness of leprosy!
