DELIBERATE SUICIDE.
Why II Should Excite More Horror
Than Any Other Murder.

As 10 its moral aspects, suicide In
msnifestly forbidden by the divine
law. One OF the commandments Of the
Decalogue declares. Thou shalt not
kill" TO make the law AZ comprs-
hensiye as possible II il not said,
Thou shalt not Kill thy nelghbor."
which qualifying phrase is employed
In some OF the other commandment
az. for instance, Thou shalt not bear
false witness against they neighbor:"
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors
house" The prohibition 10 kill is there
fore absolute. 1t forbids the taking Of
human life, whether by suicide or
homicide.
There is another commandment
which says. Thou shalt love thy
neighbOr as tbyself." Now. the love
which we owe TO our neighbor forbids
us To slay him, and therefore the love
which we owe TO ourselves forbids us
10 compass our own death. If the law
allowed us TO kill ourselves. while for
bidding W. 10 kill our neighbor, our
love for our neighbor would not be
equal, but superior. to our love for our
selves.
Nay, hold that suicide is "A more re-
voting sin than the killing Of another.
The closer the ties Of relationship be-
tween the murderer and his victim the
more atrocious IL the crime. In the
estimation OF mankind, a parrlcide, or
matriclde, or fratrcide, or uxoricide, Is
a more shocking criminal than an ordi-
nary homicide. And as man has
more intimate relations to himself
than 10 a parent or brother or wife. his
deliberate self destruction should Ell
cite more horror than the murder OF q
parent, brother or vife.-Cardlnal Glib
