We are sorry for
the one whose spiritual nature is undeveloped.
But why should the many women who are devoid of the physical qualities
of human nature presume to lay claim to perfection and to regard the
normal woman as a suspicious character?
You have a fine, active mind, a highly spiritual nature, but you are
stunted in strong, physical emotion. You are incapable of it, and pride
yourself upon the fact.
If that pleases you, well and good.
But how dare you criticize God's _complete human_ beings, who feel the
great vibrations of the universe, who glow and thrill with that divine
creative force, who live a thousand lives and die a thousand deaths
before they learn the glory of self-conquest.
How dare you shrink even from those who fall by the wayside, and call
your shrinking "purity"!
Let me ask you another question:
How dare you turn away from that girl who went through the door of the
Magdalene Home you helped establish, with her fatherless child in her
arms?
She fell from woman's holy estate!
Yes, through mad love for a man--she loved him with her soul, her mind,
her body.
