Book excerpt: Excerpt from Offthoughts About Women and Other Things Ministers Will get out of bed with the alacrity of the boys that run with the machine to marry a runaway couple. Perhaps next Sunday they will preach on the national sin of easy divorce, and wonder why it does not fetch another deluge. Such cases are always announced in the public journals as the triumph of true love over cruel par ents and locksmiths. The girl is taught that love is a (li vine sense and an infallible guide which she should follow, in defiance of parents arid all prudential considerations. The parents have not entirely outgrown the same nonsense. The lover thinks his passion gives him a sacred right to gratify it, although he tramples upon the care and love of parents and deludes a silly girl to trust her life to his 'worthlessness.
