MISTAKES OF THE LAW.

Sometimes the law, in the hands of
men, makes ghastly mistakes.
There is the case of Mrs. Marit Sed-
don. growing out of the grave indus
trial situation in England
She and her husband fought pow
erty as only the poor have to fight.
You who have even the necessaries of
life can't appreciate what it means to
always live close to the wolf: to be
really hungry; to be forced to feel
the sting of grudging charity; to Won
der why a merciful God does not
grant death.
The Seddons, husband and wife,
were worn out at 10 They asked God
to forgive them if they We're disobey-
ing His commandments, and together
drank poison.
The old man died. Society refused
the wife even that boon. 1t had re-
fused to recognize her existence when
she was starving but was shocked
when she tried to end her suffering.
The doctors came and there was food
and other comforts. Shocking, that
a woman should try to commit sui
eide.
Then came arrest, for, according to
law. Mrs. Seddon was an accomplice
in the death of her husband. techni-
cally guilty of murder, and a pig
headed British jury found her guilty
of a crime for which the penalty is
death.
Fortunately some sane folks inter
ested themselves in the matter. Mrs
Seddon was "pardoned." Think of il
And then placed in a home where she
may mourn out the rest of her days.
Even the law has much to answer
for.
And society revels in wealth, gorge'
itself with rich food, wastes millions
when grandfathers and grandmother
are starving!
Well, it isn't too much to hope tina
some day there will be reckoning

ARE WARNINGS GENUINE?

Aside from the material phases Of
the san Francisco disaster, there are
the mystical. the unseen. the spiritual
phases Of it. The same may also be
said of all other great disasters Of this
kind.
People who are highly responsible
and who are sincere. conscientious and
honest in their statements and beliefs
claim TO have had warnings Of some
such disaster. In fact. letters are now
in evidence, which were written weeks
preceding the disaster, containing
urgent warnings to friends and rela-
tives concerning something inde fina-
BILE, unknown, terrible, which was to
happen TO the city.
The people who see these visions
are just as honest as the people who
do not. The yeracity Of one class is
no more to be questioned than that
Of the other.
SO, it seems in some mysterious
way. through some subtle influence
many people on earth who linger near
the Gates Of Mystery, often catch
some Of the indistinct whispering;
from within.
There is no doubt about the spiritu.
al network Of inteiligences which en-.
