other lives as the vehicle of the race. The message we bring here should help to solve her problem by harmonising the individual need for experience and culture with the instinctive life of the race ; by making the child-bearer more efficient and * fit' in motherhood and the lover more apt and happy in love ; for that love is, at its best, at once the supreme triumph and the supreme surrender, the quintessence of abandonment and of achievement. These are emotions as profound and as permanent as any of which human nature is capable, but which can only be experienced through the instrument of a sexually efficient body in the fullest sense.''
