"For God's sake!"
But their locked bodies smote against my knees, and I was overthrown.
"You keep out of this, old man!"! heard the voice of Lloyd Inwood from out of
the emptiness. And then Paul's voice crying, "Yes, we've had enough of
peacemaking!"
From the sound of their voices I knew they had separated. I could not locate
Paul, and so approached the shadow that represented Lloyd. But from the other
side came a stunning blow on the point of my jaw, and I heard Paul scream

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Pivot of Civilization by Margaret Sanger: `Birth Control is forbidden by God; we prefer poverty, unemployment,
