In Civil And Political Affairs, American Women

Good Manners Are The Expressions Of Benevolence In Personal Intercourse, By Which We Endeavor To Promote The Comfort And Enjoyment Of Others, And To Avoid All That Gives Needless Uneasiness.

The Woman Movement Is One Which Is Uniting By Co-operating Influences, All The Antagonisms That Are Warring On The Family State. Spiritualism, Free Love, Free Divorce, The Vicious Indulgences Consequent On Unregulated Civilization, The Worldliness Which Tempts Men And Women To Avoid Large Families, Often By Sinful Methods, Thus Making The Ignorant Masses The Chief Supply Of The Future Ruling Majorities; And Most Powerful Of All, The Feeble Constitution And Poor Health Of Women, Causing Them To Dread Maternity As--what It Is Fast Becoming--an Accumulation Of Mental And Bodily Tortures.

Eating Highly Seasoned Food Is Unhealthful, Because It Stimulates Too Much, Provokes The Appetite Too Much, And Often Is Indigestible.

In Civil And Political Affairs, American Women Take No Interest Or Concern, Except So Far As They Sympathize With Their Family And Personal Friends; But In All Cases, In Which They Do Feel A Concern, Their Opinions And Feelings Have A Consideration, Equal Or Even Superior, To That Of The Other Sex.

... So Large A Portion Of Those Who Hold Much Capital, Instead Of Using Their Various Advantages For The Greatest Good Of Those Around Them, Employ The Chief Of Them For Mere Selfish Indulgences; Thus Inflicting As Much Mischief On Themselves, As Results To Others From Their Culpable Neglect. A Great Portion Of The Rich Seem To Be Acting On The Principle, That The More God Bestows On Them, The Less Are They Under Obligation To Practise Any Self-denial, In Fulfilling His Benevolent Plan Of Raising Our Race To Intelligence And Holiness.
