Commercial Suicides.

Rev. Dr.. W. Il S. Murray delivered his
lecture on the above subject before the
GOldey Commercial Institute this after
noon. He remarked from East and West
day after day, come the reports of com.
merCial men who commit suicide. I have
not chosen this subject to bring before YOU
their names, nor to harrow your feelings
with realistic descriptions of their dread
ful late but bring to you some lessons
which may strengthen you in lust an
probation OF life and to emphasize the
truth of which all have the convection
that man has no right TO destroy himself,
Life is sacred, IL is God given From
the Creator comes the command, "rhou
shalt not kill" No murderer hath eternal
life man Is Il murderer whether he
Kills another or himself. In suicide we
have the fearful dominion of soul over
body Illustrated, and may it not also be
an indication Of the different destipies
The will Kills the body but who kills
the will God has power over both body
ana soul and hath plainly declared their
destiny.
l. is terrible thing for an embezzler or
de!aulter or thief TO be exposed to he raze
OF disappearing community and suffer
the just penalty for his crime but il Is
more dreadful to hurl oneself into eter.
nity-for 1t Is fearful thing to fall into
INC nhlua VI tHe llNlnB NOu. II man can.
not face man how can man face his God ?
The more recent reports of commercial
suicide should teach us first that high
position, trusting community, coufldiug
friends, all won by long trial, earnest and
tnlthlul security against the temptations
AMI dangers Of modern life.
The unexpected has happened. Stock
gambling causing loss, has brought in
quite number Of cases, the crisis Haste
to get rich, rtsking trusted funds, not
willing to plod and roil these have caused
the fatal plunge. Some have lived double
lives With the pure they have appeared
pure, with the impure they have been i'm
pure. The revelation to loved ones of the
unholy alliances with evil ones, has crush
cd them with shame They held their
heads up as long as it was unknown, but
ne was put out as soon as found ont.
Man cannot serve God and mammon.
Successful service in double lilo is an
lmpossIbllity In gaining the wealth of
the world, the pleasures of life the attetnpt
to satisfy the iuSts of life, "What will il
profit man If he gain the whole
world and lose bis own sOulg" These AFRO
fatal steps; steps that tend downward.
They arc marked by The breaking of the
commandments OF God.
What we need in commerce, in modern
HE, Is stronger faith in and better oh.
sriVance OF the ten commandments. |
would advise every man To keep them be.
fore his eyes and observe them in his heart
and life.

me Case Of One Man Who Lived Three
Years In the Grave.

There Is regular crusade going on In
the different countries Of Europe against
basty burinls OF those supposed 70 be dead.
Scientific meh and women of high stand
ing are studying every phase Of the subject
Of suspended animation and making the
results Of their Investigations known to
the pscplo. 1t appeals FROM the expressions
OF those engaged In this laudable effort
that there IL only one sure and positive
test Of death, and that is decomposition OF
the tissues Of the GVsh. All other tests, so
II Is claimed, prove nothing and are there
fore absolutely useless.
Seven Or eight years ago Dr. jDanner--

highest rank, although known to people In
general only as Tanner, the faster--at.
tempted to inaugurate a crusade In this
country similar to that which IL now on
In Europe. He first made the matter a
serious study during the first four months
Of the year 1889 and found that during
those II weeks there were not less than %
cases Ia the United States of suspended
animation, Tanner argued that the stop

were 80 constituted as to be liable to fall
into trance and remain In that state for

remarkable stories related by the doctor
was this:

body of a young man was buried in

order to make some repairs The body was
found perfectly fresh and natural and not
in the least decomposed. The physician
who was called pronounced 1t strange
case and proceeded to investigate. He laid
the body out properly and made a slight
incision with his soalpel To the Doctors
surprise and to the horror of those who
had gathered around the supposed corpse
tine body which had been dead and buried
for over three years-instantly arose to
sitting posture and within a very few mo.
ments was thoroughly resuscitated. The
young nun lived for mora than 80 years
