The Master Problem

Excerpt from The Master Problem

T is not easy to write a foreword to this most im portant book, which contains a mass of information, much of it painful, and yet all of it necessary for the social and moral reformer to know. One almost hesitates to ask people to study so much that makes one feel how far we are from having a world populated by people living under the in?uence of God, the Father of the World. But I am encouraged to recommend this book because I am satisfied that the indifference shown to the great sex questions is mainly due to ignorance. If once we can rouse people to a sense of the awfulness of all those evils with which this book deals, we shall, I believe, find that the mass of humanity will be active on the side of reform. No man or woman reading these pages will afterwards be able to plead the excuse of not knowing how terrible the conditions are under which some people are living, and how heroic must be any reforms attempted. God prosper this book for the bettering of humanity.
