selves- new life.
One of life's truly great experi–
ences is the birth of a child. But
this, again, was designed by God to
be part of the marríage uníon–
never to be experienced outside of
marriage.
But there is even a greater and
far-reaching purpose for human
sexuality. Sex can be the embodi–
ment of al! three of the Greek
words for
!ove-eros, philia
and
agape.

EUROPE
(Continued from page 4)
Austria had been occupied by the
Soviets and their World War 11
Westero allies, much as Germany
was.
The example of a neutral Austria
thus provides a model of what Mos–
cow might desire aJI of Europe to
be-neutralized, and fre.e of Amer–
ican influence and, above all, weap–
onry.
Note this as well: In such a new
alignment, Austria-with its pres–
tigious capital of Vienna-would
provide, as the Pope reportedly told
Cardinal Koeníg, a logical "bridge
bet.ween East and Wes
t."
Furthermore, down the road,
Vienna just might become the
headquarters cíty of the Uníted
Natíons. Already, its huge new
"U.N. City," just across the Dan–
ube River from the center of Vien-

and perpetuating !ove between a
husband and wife.
The modero argument that pre–
marital sexual experimentation can
lead to greater joys in marital sex is
one of the greatest líes ever perpe–
trated by Satan the devil.
Such experimentation before
marriage or in extramarital affairs
can only destroy the purity of what
God designed.
The honeymoon is not meant to
be a time for experíenced sexual
professionals to practice. The hon–
eymoon should be that joyful, tim–
id, beautiful, shy, exciting period of
time when two people who have
begun to !ove one another begin
thei r new life together-and should
be their first joyful expression of
sexual intimacy.

New-Yet Old-Europe
What is transpiring on both sides of
the Iron Curtain today are the first
steps in the refashioning of West–
ero, Central and part of Eastero
Europe into a new, yet ancient,
alignment- what one expert calls
"Classic Europe."
Religion, given added strength
by East-West church unity, will
provide this combine its primary
unifying element.
In the second chapter of the
Sexual experience should be
learned
together- after
the mar–
riage ceremony. Why should any–
one go out and learn it · al! in
advance with a whole army of other
people? Why create the possibility
for sexual comparisons and vivid
memories of unpleasant experi–
ences?
The honeymoon should be the
beginning of a new life together
when a totally inexperienced couple
begin
to learn from experience
through the human sexual relation–
ship. In each other's arms, they will
then spend the rest of thei r líves
growing in

The original Roman Empire was
broken into two "legs"-the Bast–
ero Empire in Byzantium (Con–

Empire in the West in Roroe.
Thus it is very possible that this
end-time system wíll be composed
of two distinct yet cooperatíve
parts: the first "leg" comprising
nations of Westero Europe, the sec–

from Soviet dominance in Central
