Though the thought is new to you, do you not begin to see the truth and
beauty of what I have been saying about this wonderful nerve center, or
brain of the physical life?
What father or mother who may read this has ever felt it a religious
joy to teach their children the truth about this wonderful gift of God
to the human race?
I am not going to ask you how many of you were so taught, for I feel
very sure none of you were. Scarcely anyone has ever been taught any
thing right about it, but most, if not all, have been left to stumble
along in the dark, as you and I were, and if by chance they happened
to hit upon a plan, or stumbled onto knowledge, which enabled them to
live together happily after marriage, well and good; if not, the great
American juggernaut, the divorce mill, makes another revolution, and a
wrecked home and two broken lives are held up to public gaze, as the
result of its deadly work. There is not the slightest doubt in the mind
of the writer but that a large percent of the divorces of this country
grow out of the absolute ignorance of young people as to how to live
together happily.
