Is death worth diving? No, 1t Is not,
until Lies lessons are all finished, and
4 grave vells earned. Otherwise, TO so
out voluntarily into the great outer
darkness which encompasses our exist
ence, Is verylike running away from
school, before the term Is over
Difficult lessons, hard master,
our own liabilities or WEAKNESS,
would be no excuse for such delin-
ouency; and moreover it is likely that
we should be sent back again, under
still more stringent restrictions, to nm
lsh the task we had abandoned. For IL
is impossible to believe that any child
OF man will be permitted 10 shlrk the
duties Of his situation; or to escape the
consequences OF his derelictions. This
world is run with far too tight reiu,
TO make such an exception from the
great law OF cause and effect, suppsoe-
able.
Yet without entering into the stats
tics of suicide, every one who reads the
daily newspapers must be aware that
the crime OF sef-destruction is start
liagly on the increase. Never in the
history OF the human race have men,
women and even children, so recklessiy
and numerously sought to escape the
suffering Of the known present by an
appeal TO the unknown future; trusting
either TO an unguaranteed mercy, or
else believing they may End in the
grave the black doors or annihilation.
That Suicide should be on the In
crease, while Christianity and ciyiliza-
tlon are also increasing, seems at first
sight great contradiction, because the
crime is essentially pagan in spirit, and
has never been tolerated in Christian
countries; indeed there are few points
that could be named, which so sharply
define the pagan and Christian concep-
ton OF virtue. With some notable ex-
ceptions the whole pagan world ap-
proved suicide, and il was the cul-
minating point OF its stoiclsm. THE
door is open; when you will, you can
leave of playing the game of life, said
Epictetus; and il we except the He
brew race, the philosopher voiced the
general sentiment Of the world before
Christ.
The advent OF Christianity drew
distinct line at this point. 1t made
self-destructiOG a crime, and enforced
It's teachings on the sacredness of hui
man life, by rigid and awful punishment
OF the civil law. And these penalties,
taken with the spiritual ter
rors they typifed, must have
had wonderfully lettering power;
for until the great pagan revival at the
period of the French Revolution, sui
eide in Christian countries was a very
rare crime. This pagan revival quickly
passed, but during IL the civil and can
on laws against suicide were abolished;
and the moral sense regarding the crime,

look upon their life, as thing quite as
much their own. to wastb or to lose. as
their property. or their purse.
The sharp competition, the fret. and
oyer-excltement of our modern life Is
credited with inducing large number
OF suicides. But the men drawn TO this
end by desperate financial circumstan-
ces. are not nearly so numerous, as
those who come 10 it by social crime.
The former, have often sfectionate
families and happy homes, and are not
without something to live FOR; tue
latter, haunted bv remorse becomes In
different to life. and then they abandon
themselves TO that frightfui pace OF
modern suciety in its last stage, wnicn
destroys seli-respect, and forbids hope
and thus surrounded by every necessity
for a luxurious life, they come as
naturally TO self-mlrder, as another
class of criminals come to MURDER. ana
the thoughtless world is amazed, aed
asks: "Why did he kill himself! lie
had everything to live for"
Neither does hunger, cold. or physi-
cal misery Of many kinds produce q
large proportion OF suicides; far more
come from the overweight sensitive
ness OF vanity. Men and women not
appreciated IS they fancy they

ought to be, retire in pet,
from q world they think unworthy or
them. Is is indeed remarkabl o
fact that suicide is usually the outcome
OF mental suffering, not OF physical; and
this is proven by the small number,
who choose suicide TO cut short suffer-
ing they know to be mortal; or imbe-
ciity they know TO be certain. General
Grant, or the Emperor Frederick might
have claimed the right TO Euthanasla
through Suicide, by the hopelessness OF
To cir misery; but both having a strong
sense OF personal responsibility de-
clined to desert their posts, until they
heard the order for their release. They
found it nobler 20 endure suffering pa
tlently, than to Fly from 1t.
The increase OF misery and insanity
are penalties attched to high ciyiliza-
ton, but neither are, In themselves,
chargeable for the great number OF
suicides, said to be insane. For many
so judged are not insane, and others
would not have reached the point OF
insanity If they had not previously lost
all faith In any good but earthly good,
and any help or hope but that OF mere
mortals. This fact touches the great
underlying cause OF modern suicide
the advance OF lax or sceptical religions
views. These have awakened every
single lettering force. For the atheist
ical spirit is disiDtegrating on every
side; IL is never satisfied; 1t detects evil
everywhere; IL withhOlds love and faith
from everything its shallow perception
can not understand. IL breeds social
anarchy and personal suicide wherever
1t prevails.
The man who can trust his Maker,
and who loves his wife and children, IS
never driven by misery TO self-destruc.
ton. Trouble only brings forth TO him
the pre-eminent, passive virtues OF
Christianity faith, hope, and docility
to a Higher VIII. No despicable devil
whispers in his ear the cowardly word
Suicide" or tells him 1t Is better to
sneak into an unearned grave than TO
hold the post given him TO hold "all the
days that are appointed, until his
change come"
But the suicide is an arrant coward
and a monster OF selfishness, therefore
the world has very little pity, and
great deal of contempt for him. How
can we respect people destitute Of faith
In God or man; without courage, with
out loyalty, without enthusiasm? For
by this crime, above all others, q man
or woman formally renounces the pro-
lection OF God. They assert their life
to be mistake, and then they translate
the mistake into q fatal reality, which
from the very nature OF the sin, leaves
them no room for repentance.
No doubt the sin OF suicide has been
largely encouraged by the removal Of
the old civil penalties against II; FOR
the measure OF punishment now fitfully
meeted out is no shape deterrent. A
false sympathy is inclined TO adjudge
all suicides at least temporarily insane.
and therefore not punishable. But IL
is notorious, that suicides are generally
sensible enough to estimate the conse-
Quencss OF their act, not only
TO themselves, but TO their rela-
tives; for they usually leave
such letters behind them as they
think will excite pity or admiration.

suffered some disntegration. The
causes, however, OF suicide In our own
day, lie much closer to US, and some Of
them are not very apparent to superb
cial observation.
Thus 1t might be thought, that Edu-
cation would be n preventive. On
the contrary, suicide is most common
where everyone can read. For INTEL
lectual advancement, unless accompa-
MED by spiritual advancement. is dan
gerous to the mass; and though the
schoolmAster is not 10 be discouraged,
lt is pity that bis steps are so often
logged by suicide. 1t is also reasona-
bic to think that community would
&c lettering power, for great city
contains so many avenues OF hope and
help; but the majority OF suicides occur
in cities, and not In lonely country
places. Neither does the publicity
given By she press 20 crime OF al kinds;
frighten the suicide; on the contrary, a
large number prepare for the notoriety
they expect they expect .heir death TO
make for them, and feel exalted ia their
posthumous infamy. Probably few
believe, that the Indifference 20 human
life shown by our methods OF travel,
promote suicide; bat they have a de-
cided Influence In that direction. They
teach daily TO tens OF thousands, an
apathetic insensIbility to the lives Of
others, which reacts personally; for
nothing IS more certain than that the
man who Is reckless about other peo-
pies lives will also be careless about
his own.
The two great social conquests Of civ
ilization, are the chastity OF women,
and the sacrednsss Of human life. The
one refnes; the other, establishes soci-
ETY.; IS far IS they seem apart, they
have positive and undeniabie connec-
tions. The men who commit suicide for
a pure love, are very few Indeed; the
men who perish for an illicit love, are
legion. 1t Is the unhoIy ties between
men and women that are sundered By
self-murder. Love sheltered In lawful
home ties can do anything. and bear
everything; but as soon as men make
