Sex and the Single person

[For young adults]

JEAN M. ANSLEY

Why is free love wrong? If you're engaged, why wait for sex till you're married? If you love someone, why get married at all; why not just live together?

If morality or the Ten Commandments are mentioned, other questions are asked. When all human codes seem arbitrary, who's to set the standard? How could someone who lived over three thousand years ago know what's right for me today?

To put this in a broader context, let me ask: Would you like to be able to demonstrate the healing power of Christian Science? Would you like to feel God's presence upholding you? The question of healing is directly related to the question of morality, including sexual morality.
