A F F IN IT IE S . F T C . BV ELBK RT BEDE 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. Take away hope and everyone would he a pessimist.
