The Stin Small Voice.

The conscience of the average man
doesn't trouble him as much as it
should An aching tooth or a throbbing
corn will disturb him good deal more
than will the still, small voice that
jacks him up in the silent watches of
the night, telling him that it was wrong
to beat the man next door in horse
trade or drop suspender button in the
contribution box at church.
Conscience does all it can to make US
nobler and better, but its voice, in
most instances, is too feeble. 1t should
use a megaphone. Yet there are peo-
pie in the world to whom the voice of
conscience is arbitrary, something that
must not be disobeyed; when the voice
approves, these people are happy; when
it rebukes, they are miserable; and to
them it is a law as immutable as a
decree from Sinai.
Near a Nebraska town there lived
prosperous farmer who had peculiar
ly active conscience. He had hardened
to it all his life, with the result that ne
had fine reputation for integrity and
all the things which make the human
character resplendent. And he amassed
wealth in conscientious way, and, be-
coming somewhat stricken in years, he
decided to leave the farm and move to
town, where he might spend his declin-
ing years in ease and comfort. A few
weeks ago he was chosen to act as
a juror at the trial of a murderer,
ed that only one verdict was possible,
and that verdict was death. But the
jurors conscience chided him after the
verdict was given. It made life bur-
den. 1t sat up with him at all hours of
the night, and persisted in asking him
awkward questions.
''By what right" asked Conscience,
did you vote away the life of a fell
low being? Can you restore the spark
of life to the dead clay, when the hang
man has done his devoir? Has the AL
mighty commissioned you to award life
and death to any of his creatures? Do
you carry the bolts of Jove for free
distribution?'
All, it was pitiful, the anguish suf-
fered by that man with the ingrowing
conscience. He was tortured night and
day; his dreams of comfortable and
cheerful old age faded away, wherever
he went, whatever he did, Conscience
was with him, springing the same old
conundrums with maddening iteration;
Conscience spoke to him in the rustling
of the wind. in the murmur of the trees,
In the song of the flowing water, in
the. rustllng of the grass; and always
and forever the same old question:
''Who are you, to ursurp the functions
of the Almighty?"
And it came to pass that he could
endure it no longer; so, finding himself
alone IN his house, he wrote letter of
farewell to his wife, and blew out his
brains with shotgun.
And the probability is that wherever
he may be, in desolate windswept space.
Conscience is still with him, bounding
him piteously. When he sits down on
a dead star to rest while, Conscience
will look over his shoulder and ask:
'sBy what right did you end the life
that was given you by benign Gre
ator?v
Conscience is terrible thing when it
becomes TOO industrious. W. A. White.
