Of all the iniquitous ideas conceived by the devil and foisted
upon the world in the name ot God, this tomravrot about affini­
ties, twin souls, soul mates, etc., is certainly the end of the limit.
A lot of soft-brained married men and women have been
deserting one another for the burning and sizzling love of the
mates which they have deluded themselves into believing were
conceived by the Creator expressly for them. It is wonderful
what a chain of circumstances sometimes leads up to the discov­
ery of these affinities, and it is appalliug to think what a crime
against society an all-wise Providence has committed by keeping
affinities from being draw n together until it is so late that the
social and moral laws have to be brokeu to get rid of a help­
mate th at is lacking iu the sentim entalities and magnetism of
a twin soul!
A man or woman who doesn’t feel the obligations of his or
her oath, given when they took one another for better or for
worse, isn 't fitted to make happy even the most pronounced
affinity, granting that there is such a thing.
I f God had Intended that there should be an affinity for
every man and woman in the world, he would have arranged to
bring them together before they became united to a mate, cold-
hearted and unresponsive to the gushing passions of an ardent
soul beating out its life upon the battlem ents of unappreciated
love and devotion.
T he fact th at affinities are suspicious of one another for fear
th a t some other soul mate will come flitting around the heart of
the twin soul is proof that this busiuess is not all that it is
cracked up to be.
The worst feature of this new-fangled and transient idea is
th a t it causes to be lightly held the sacred vows of m atrimony.
No reform can long endure that has for its foundation the tearing
down and disregarding of long-established social and moral laws,
and it will not be long before the swagger easterners will get up
another attractive fad to take the place of this one.
T he whole business is an underdone mess of m ush.
