Econ. I. 2, 8. 56 ]\loJiainintdanisnu first principles, have long ago demanded for their ideal society not only monogamy, but also that mutual respect and love, and that strict purity and modesty, w^hich polygamy kills. Let us say briefly that the only ground conscience recognises as warranting two persons to become one in flesh is, that they be first of all one in spirit. That absolute surrender of the person which constitutes marriage is justified only by the circumstance that it is a surrend...er of the heart as well, and that it is mutual. To an ideal love polygamy is abhorrent and impossible. As Mohammed himself, in another connection, and with more than his usual profundity, said, " God has not put two hearts in you. " This is the grand law imbedded in our nature, and by which it is secured that the children born into the world be the fruit of the devoted surrender of one human spirit to another ; by which — in other words — it is secured that love, the root principle of all human virtue and duty, be trans- mitted to the child and born in it.
