BROKE FAITH: KILLED HERsELF.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1905, BY Edwin A. Nye.


In fit of remorse because she had
worked on a Jewish holiday Fannie
Chanon, young girl of Chicago. com.
mitted suicide
The spirit Of Yom Kippur was In
the air as bright faced children jour-
neyed with their elders to the syna-
gogucs and temples and there prayed
for forgiveness for their trespasses.
But the day of atonement held moth
ing for tie girl who sat in the park
and said to herself: Their right is no
longer mine have held aloof and will
not be forgiven"
do you not go to shule, Fannie?'
asked one of her friends of the girl in
the park The latter turned away
without answer.
So, most of the day, while the people
were in the synagogues, neither eat
Ing nor drinking, but praying until the
dusk closed on the day of atonement.
the girl brooded in the park.
And then she remembered how, when
Rosh Hashono ushered in the Jew
ish new year, instead Of going to syn
agogue she had worked all day at the
factory, where she sewed buttons on
cloth.
She had broken faith.
In despair the poor girl left the park
in the late afternoon. She sought her
opportunity and threw herself from
the platform In front of an elevated
train and was picked up, crushed,
bleeding, mangled, dead.
A single scrap of paper was found
in one of her pockets. 1t said:
'As it should be, it was"
And this story Of her-cruelly pathet-
ic-is here recorded because it gives
one glimpse into the depths of hui
man soul.
| You say there was not sufficient
cause for suicide, it was all super
stitious fancy, this anguish that tore
the Jewish girls heart. But
Put yourself in her place.
Perhaps you cannot The faith OF
your fathers has lost its hold on you
Or, if not so, you cannot realize what
the departure of great faith may
mean Nevertheless this is true.
Life without faith is impossible.
Existence without faith is possible
but life-normal, abundant. high pur
posed and joyous life-without faith is
impossible.
"As it should be, so it was"
That is fatalistic sentiment, but
/ Hopeless is that soul that sees NJ
morning break with promise, that feel
no pulsing thrill of joyous faith. The
| poignancy of such hopelessness may
not end in suicide-but it is the logica
end.
