Self-Sacrihce.

1t is a debatable question whether pur-
poselesS sef-sacritice is virtue or Il
vice.
To scourge ones body without cause
renders 1t useless and broken down.
Then why would not crucifying ones
mind make foolish, feeble spirit?
1t is not usually the most sensible peo-
pie who inhict upon themselves martyr
dom that is without reason. Indeed. it is
more often the narrow minded and bigot-
ed.
The healthy mind rejects instantly and
instinctively the proposition that such
useless suffering is either right or neces-
sary. 'There is purpose in pain, other
wise it were devilish."
To be specific, people sometimes sub
init to petty self-denials which do no one,
even themselves, any good. 1t is nothing
to my credit if | sit upon n hard chair
rather than a comfortable one, unless
do it that some one else may have the
easy seat. In fact, it shows me TO be a
little lacking in common sense. There is
no virtue in eating what we dislike or in
associating with disagreeable people, or
in doing any earthly thing we do net
wish to, unless some one by the act =
helped.
Martyrs of this kind do not amount to
much in the world. 1t is the common
sense soul, who is happy and makes 9th
ers happy, who really counts.
