Not illustrated. 1855 Excerpt: ...of such scapegoats of humanity. Hence, to a great extent, its appalling depravity. This fatal omission of sanctifying this function by spiritual love, it is, which has allowed animal propensity to go on begetting mankind "in sin, and bringing them forth in iniquity." This is that ''forbidden fruit," that "original sin," which has comparatively blasted and imbittered humanity until now, and will continue to do so till supplanted by spiritual love and its accompanying intercourse of soul. To this one cause more than to all others combined, is attributable that wide-spread sensuality and depravity of mankind in all their forms, in all their aggravation. Nor can the latter be removed but by obviating their cause, namely, sensuality without spiritual love. As the elements of in and vice, and of disease and pain, are propagated, how cruel and wicked thus to usher into the world beings constitutionally so puny, so sickly, so depraved, so miserable, perhaps a curse to themselves and their race! Especially since they might just as well, ay, better--with more pleasure to parents, as well as infinitely more happiness to offspring--have been highly endowed, physically and mentally, and most exalted in their intellectual capabilities and moral virtues. Oh! parents, pause and tremble! in view of relations thus fraught with weal and wo to yourselves, your children, and your children a children forever. 120 SECTION IX.
