that the sun spots and the earth

strata of rock slip and the result is
destruction to the cities within the

well with the earthquakes on the Pa

WRONG IN REVENGE
PARDON 10 THE ONE GREAT en-
NoHllNo ACT.
Surely Two Wrongs Never Vet Have
Made q Rlsht-Truth In Lesson
Taught by Wisdom and
Love,

So many crimes are committed In
the name OF vengeance that Il gives
one pause and turns one back TO the
meaning that lies beneath the word
Once, evidently. men killed at need,
and snatched at greed. and each
mans idea OF personal enlargement
was to be formidable power, holding
out threatened injury and death to
all who encroached. Civilization Is
slow but sure progress toward the
Idea that all enlargement is by sym
patty and service. by tolerance and
kindness.
To return a wrong by another
wrong has never by any mathematical
computation made other than two
wrongs In the world; they have never
produced a right any more than ten
persimmons can produce an apple. To
imagine that a man can enrich him
self by robbery is sheer intellectual
qualification. Whatever a man takes
from another to the others loss and
detriment becomes the impoverish-
ment OF the robber. paradoxical as II
may sound. and another's suffering
can never be our gain. We have
but to look at the spiritual pauperism
OF the unrighteously rich to know
this.
The whole lesson OF revenge was
taught of old. There came to live
and to teach In the world Wisdom
and Love incarnate. and men. see
ing the power and the beauty. and
desiring all power and all beauty In
their own hands. said: Let us tor
ture and kill" and this they did.
And Wisdom and Love incarnate
spoke and said: They know not what
they do" and passed on. The re.
venge Is that since then Wisdom and
Love supreme are without bodily
form In the world. and men who de-
sire II go searching. and lose them
selves In mists and thicket and
swamps. they stumble and fall and
rise again. and hope and despair, and
cry out. but for no yearning. and no
prayers. and no stretching out Of
arms through the centuries does the
visible form become alive again.
This is the great revenge, to hide
in the shelter Of the silence and the
mystery; acts entail further acts.
and we become drawn into the mesh
of human intricacies and partialities.
But in the far quiet there Is peace
for the slain while the slayer wraps
about him the gray isolation OF his
acts, and out OF his errors come the
sufferings which are the birth throes
of new consciousness.
This is the wisdom Of ages that
there is no big and no little, and
betrayal and fulfillment Of destiny are
one and the same; men do what is In
them to do; they act according to the
ideas that have already shaped the
brute world. But in the future, the
least and the lowest OF men will
know that there is but one revenge.
and that is pardon.-Harper's Weekly.
