A few heated clergymen having made the following false charges against Science and Health, we shall reply by quotations from the work:—
"'Science and Health' teaches free-love."
Read this in reply: " The last infirmity of error that would fasten itself on society, to see it hobble under a new burden of guilt, is 'free love.' Marriage is the only legal and moral form among the higher species for generation. Infidelity to the marriage covenant is the social scourge of all peoples; the commandment 'thou shalt not commit adultery,' is not less imperative than 'thou shalt not kill.' Virtue is the basis of civilization and progress; without it there is no true foundation to society, and it were utterly impossible to attain the Science of Life."—Science and Health.
