"SUICIDE IS CONFESSION
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye

A young man threw himself into the
Chicago river. When he was pulled
out he said he was driven to commit
suicide. He said:
II could not see my way through
life"
Poor young FOOL
He had $50 in his pockets. was
strong and healthy, and there was no
one dependent upon him.
COWARD!
Supposing all of us who cannot see
our way through life should jump into
the river, what would become of the
census?
1t is not given to mOrtals to see the
end from the beginning. None of us
has a map of the expedition in which
he Is engaged. One may have his
plans, but plans fall down. Unfore-
seen things happen. Mortal prophecy
fails because Of contingencies. Often
the way grows misty; often the stars
do not shine.
But the wise man knows
THE FORCES THAT ARE FOR
US ARE GREATER THAN THOSE
THAT ARE AGAINST US. There
fore
The wise man goes on bravely and
blindly.
Should we say blindly? Rather he
goes by faith instead Of sight Faith
"sees the glimmer Of star and hears
the rustic Of an angels wings" Faith
does not SEE the way; it HOLDS the
way unseeing.
Because Of this lack Of faith and
courage and because Of morbid brood
ings young men and women by the
hundreds are committing rash self de-
struction.
1t looks as If moral courage, the
bravery Of mental and emotional reso-
luton. is decreasing.
It should not be So
Life Is given to be haZarded. 1t is
a gift, and no one has the moral right
to throw away a gift. Therefore let
come. why, even defeats, if honorable,
are form of victory. Let us die
straining on toward the goal! If the
harness sometimes gals the tender
places-well. scars are credtable.
Life is to be lived-to the brim.
Bravely drink the cup.
Lift the beaker high and drink to
the brave who go upward. though the
way be full of stones and dark and
thorny.
If there be sweet poison in the cup,
Fate put it there not you or l.
And as for Death? Why, let him
knock whenever he wills. You--and
me-he shall not have-not TILL HE
BREAKS DOWN THE DOOR!

Healing.

Whether disease is always organic
and never functional, as the orthodox
medical men are moved to contend
emphatically, Is Of no consequence to
the sufferer whose troubles disappear
at the mere suggestion that he Is
healed" The mind cure and the va
rious kinds Of new thought healing
have prepared the public to believe in
the healing offered in the name Of the
church. That medical men are spurred
to opposition to any Of the unorthodOx
systems Of healing out Of pure jeal-
ousy is rash assumption. 1t is nat
ural that they should be sensitive over
the claims Of a science which has
attracted and also taxed the best minds
Of all the ages. Faith in that science
Is too vital to the race to be trifled
with.
Orthodox theology also offers its pro-
test against diverting public attention
from the time honored mission of the
modern church. The church once prac-
ticed healing and abandoned 1t, posi-
bly, on the ground that real disease Is
too serious to warrant dealing with 1t
as side line. The doctors don't want
disease to ravage the community or
pay toll to them. They have no quar-.
rel with Don't Worry clubs and well
come every form Of healing" that
puts out an Ineligible prospectus and
calls a spade q spade.

So along came Mr.. Strong
And took him by surprise.

At early hours and late.
Strong is still in WAKEFULVILLE,
The merchant of the town;
He advertises and still surprises
Such chaps as Mr.. Brown.
