B. G. Jefferis and J. L. Nichols, Searchlights on Health — A Word to Maidens (1919)
“ NO YOUNG LADY who is not willing to assume the responsibility of a true wife, and be crowned with the sacred diadem of motherhood, should ever think of getting married. We have too many young ladies to-day who despise maternity, who openly vow that they will never be burdened with children, and yet enter matrimony at the first opportunity. ”
B. G. Jefferis and J. L. Nichols, Searchlights on Health — A Word to Maidens (1919)
“ Unless a young lady believes that motherhood is noble, is honorable, is divine, and she is willing to carry out that sacred function of her nature, she had a thousand times better refuse every proposal, and enter some honorable occupation and wisely die an old maid by choice. ”
B. G. Jefferis and J. L. Nichols, Searchlights on Health — A Word to Maidens (1919)
“ ON THE OTHER HAND, YOUNG LADY, never enter into the physical relations of marriage with a man until you have conversed with him freely and fully on these relations. Learn distinctly his views and feelings and expectations in regard to that purest and most ennobling of all the functions of your nature, and the most sacred of all intimacies of conjugal love. ”
