A New Teaching Demanded.
By Editor
The Oregonian, speaking of a case of sexual depravity and deception in the East, well says: "There is always room for suspicion of immorality of the grossest sensual type when men and women proclaiming themselves 'seekers after truth' band themselves together under titles such as 'The Inner Thought Circle,' 'Absolute Life,' and similar appellations. . . . The new cult now under the lime-light of police investigation in Chicago, like other movements of its kind, scorns the conventionalities of marriage in the relations between the sexes, speaks in high-sounding words of 'perfect motherhood,' of the generation of 'a greater race,' and of a process of 'purification' that is to bring these conditions about, which being sifted reveal gross sensuality, ruined homes, and all the rest of the vile brood with which society has now and again been cursed under high-sounding but utterly meaningless names." All of which would be mightily helped if ministers and moral instructors in general taught in the old-fashioned way the authority and importance of the Ten Commandments.
