ABSTRACT

Manhood and womanhood are temporary in their nature, the true plane of existence being duality, or the possession of the higher masculine and feminine powers in one being. Nature has no favourites; the woman or the man always reaps what each has previously sown. Innocent children may be pleasing; such might be the condition of the bodiless savage in some nonphysical realm; but manhood and womanhood are attained only by the knowledge attached to growth. The reason why womanhood has been misunderstood and degraded is due to the action of human passion during the period in which our race has strayed like lost sheep from the divine light of wisdom, and sought its happiness in sensations and selfish and personal gratifications of all kinds. Since womanhood is so intimately related to race-production, it may interest some of us to regard the latter not only in this fresh light, but to forecast the great future of the former.
