THE CRUSHING OF LITTLE JIMMIE.

Little Jimmie Patterson was killed in
West Thirty-third street yesterday. A
peddlcr's wagon ran over him, crushing
his wee chest. Jimmie was only two
and half years old. and he wouldn't
have been of much use to himself or the
community for some time to come. But
who knows what Jimmie might have
amounted to when he emerged from
midgetdom and became big Jim. He
might have had "A palace In Fifth ave
nue. and owned railroads or controlled
vast Industrial interests. and done much
good for his humber and poorer fellow
mon.
Many OF the prominent and influential
citizens of this country began life where
lite Jimmie left 1t on. But the poor
little fellow Is lying mangled In his tiny
coffln to-day, and the possibilities of n
career that might have been grand and
glorious have been dissipatei. Jimmie
liz only one of thousands OF children who
have lost their liveY in the streets. His
litiful taking of ad Is IA new testimony
to the terrible fact that many people to
whom young lives are intrusted do not
] row their tr, mendous value.
While parents and guardians Needless
~ permit babies to romp In the streets
We must expect little Jlmmies to be
ground under the wheels. and the crop
of big inns who might contribute to the
he -terment and Identification of this
world to be thus materially shortened.

.. H. says that Just and consistent God
mas Implanted In every human soul desire for
perfect happiness -. H." should define perfect
happiness All Joy or peace here depends on an
experience OF the reverse. Health can only be
appreciated through having suffered sickness.
lie speaks OF soul having missed the end for
"h'ch II was created, viz: perfect happiness -
soul could not miss the end for which a God
created 1t; indeed. II there is an end. where is
the Immortality? The trouble is, men are look
ing for perfect life after they are dead. and do
not wish to do Justice here and now. lie says:
Nobody enjoyed perfect happiness here below :.
Anybody who has been glad or Joyful for but one
moment, has been entirely and perfectly happy
for that space. Again. below" is bad logic as
1t implies that heaven is above the earth. In
space there is up or down. above or below.
