Finally
Finally
I have considered some of our social habits and personal attitudes in relation to sex. Of necessity I have had to make broad [unclear: generalisations] and many oversimplifications, otherwise the length of the article would have made its publication impossible. I therefore ask my readers to forgive any apparent minor distortions of the situation as they See it for these could have been avoided only by discussion of the finer points arising from my various opinions, and by noting numerous exceptions to my suppositions. I also remind my readers if such a re-mincer is accessary, that all opinions expressed in this article are simply these of one student who will gladly submit himself to criticism from any number of others If these opinions stimudate thought thought on a very important subject they have achieved their purpose.
| 1. | That there be less hypocrisy in society a society which for example tocitly condones abortion while it self-right-cously rejects the unmarried mother often bravely facing the consequences of her actions. |
| 2. | That we should promote a more harmonious healthy and natural social life in our student community. |
| 3. | That there should be a greater exercise of informed reason in sexual conduct which must finally be governed by the disciplined conscience of every individual. |
| 4. | That Christians white demanding the highest standards from themselves should constantly be tolerant of others and never self-reightcous of aloof remembering that Christ be friended those whom respectable society had rejected As He associated with the highest and lowest so should they and never be shocked at what they see and hear, while themselves resolutely following their Master. |
I have called a spade a spade. I have reached for things not within easy reach. I have published those opinions at the kind invitation of the editor, because I believe that as students to-day and leaders of the community in the future we have a duty to society to each other, to ourselves and ultimately to God.
