MAKING WILLS.
Why People Delay ia Test OF
Character.


There are, it may reasonably be be-
lieved, other reasons than mere timorous
and slayish fear of death which makes
so many men reluctant to make their
wills. A man may be far above the yul-
gar feeling that the act Of making his
will precipitates the hour Of death, and
yet may hesitate good deal before he
commits himself to an act which, though
not final, assumes finality This is the
last will and testament; it may be re-
voked or modified, out it has all the ele-
ments, not only of solemnity, but Of
irrevocability The words are the words
of living man, but they will not
be heard, nor take effect, until the
speaker has lost the power Of chang
ing or explaining them. In settling a
will we separate ourselves from the most
ordinary motives which influence human
action. Further information, larger
knowledge of facts at the moment per-
haps imperfectly known or inadequately
appreciated, repentance and change Of
mind for better or worse, circumstances
and motives rearranging themselves both
as to time and importance, all have their
influence in forming the motives TO an
ordinary action Of life, but testament
airy instrument cuts man of from all
these. 1t is not, therefore, altogether
unreasonable that most people should be
willing to let these circumstances and
contingencies of the future be kept open
as long as possible.
Deferred wills, and even death-bed
wills, are not always without justification.
But from this it follows that his will
usually displays the real man. The
ruling passion is most irresistible when
il presents itself under the most serious
circumstances. The hard and unforgiv-
ing man is most hard and most unforgiv-
ing when he knows that the consequences
of his disposition are incapable Of
change. The boastful and the swagger
and the liar will swagger and lie more
defiantly when he knows that, even if he
is found out, it will be when indignation
and censure can no longer effect him.
There is many man who has gone out
of the world with lie in his right hand
for the mere pitiful satisfaction of boil
stering up to the very last the false
position in which he has lived with his
fellow-men. If will, as it often does,
brings out lne Deet VI eOou hauf II
brings out the worst of a bad man. What
is at the bottom Of il all, we suppose, is
the difficulty Of realizing what the after
life is. 1t is not life, but death, which
settles the most weighty responsibility.
The sacredness which civilization at
taches TO the dying mans requests, in
tentions and declarations, attests the
force which human nature recognizes IN
the solemnity Of death. 1t is only under
the most extreme and rare circum-
stances that the provisions Of will are
set aside. If we do not admit that q
dying man prophesies, we attribute to
him something Of that divine power
which make the future immutable. These
are some of the more obvious considera-
tons which invest the voices from be
yond the tomb with special interest
