SUICIDE STATISTICS.

We have noticed the lynching record
for 1907. The suicide record is not less
alarming.
According to the figures published in
1900 the roll OF suicides for the entire
country amounted to 5,49S, while that
of the year Just closed was 1879.
There was an annual increase of over
500. When all due allowance has been
made for the increase in population.
the fact remains that the crime of self
murder is steadily growing.
The chief causes are said to be alco-
holism, worry, domestic or financial
trouble, shame and fear of disgrace, or
WEAKNESS of life. neurasthenia and
other nervous disorders, insomnia,
crime, extreme poverty, disappointed
love and domestic infelicity. Many of
those who take their own lives have
lost their reason and are not RESPONSE
BILE for their deeds. The causes operat-
ing for destruction have, in many Of
these cases. first destroyed the reasons
ing faculties.
The fact seems 60 be that the keen
competition of modern life, in which
the struggle for existence has become
more intense than ever, is too much for
n great number of human beings. They
simply perish in the vortex. To this
is added the loss of faith in God. Men
and women have persuaded themselves
that the grave is the end of ALL Why
should they then struggle on and fight
the battles of life under hopeless dis
appointment? If they cannot see in
life preparation for eternity and In
the experiences here n necessary school
Ing for another existence. they have
no hope. Suicide and loss of faithl One
Is but natural sequence of the other,
in conditions of trials and suffering.
Then, the various denominations that
profess to offer the gospel of salvation
to humanity mlserably fail to heal the
deep sores of which modern society IS
suffering. Like the Priest and Levite
OF old they pass by. They are too busy
with disputes about dogmas to give
any attention to the problems of wage
earners, and toilers. Christianity takes
especial notice OF the weak" the
little ones" the bruised reed But
Christianity has been practically dis
carded from the institutions of the
great, wide world. and in its stead the
prevalent principle is each one for
himself" and ''let the fittest survive"
II Is this philosophy that bears its ter
rible fruit In self-murder. 1t is time
for reformers and philanthropists to
wake up to the situation, and not go on
adding while Rome is burning. Money
given for educational institutions and
libraries is not bringing salvation. Re-
construction is the remedy. And this
can come only through personal endeav-
or to apply to the daily affairs of life
the principles Of the Gospel of the Re-
deemer.

was recognized AZ tho apostle OF the
gospel or uncircumcision." and for a
time Peter worked IN harmony with
him at Antlochia. II Is especially no.
ticed in the inspired record, that Peter
did eat with the Gentiles." But
when Certain came from James" he
drew back, and Barnabas was also
carried away with their dlssimula-
ton" Paul consequently publicly
rebukcd Peter as follows: 'If thou,
being q jew, livest after the manner
OF gentiles and not do as the Jews,
why compellest thou the gentiles to
live az do the Jews?" Goal. 2;t1-1i)
Paul himself. though he had taken a
decided stand on the questions in
VOWED. was led TO dissimulate on ono
occasion to avoid, as he thought, Civ
ing offense to the other side but with
the result that he was seized and ao-
cused of having polluted the temple.
(see Acts 21:17-31.)
We do not reject the first apostles
and witnesses for the Lord because
of the difficulties in which they were
involved as the heralds of new truth
which the world could not understand
and which they themselves, did not
fully comprehend at first. The criti-
cism that receives the divine mission
OF Paul and Peter and James cannot
consistently rail at the Prophet Jo-
seph. The revelation OF truth is al
ways gradual But we must not lose
ourselves in the contemplation OF the
retreating shadows. We must watch
the onward progress Of the light
But all this Is almost ancient his
tory now. Why repeat charges that
have been refuted time and again? The
founders Of the Church were men of
God who would lay down their lives
on the altar of truth. They were not
deceivers. The leaders of the Church
have always been true to their divine
mission. The present leaders are no
exception to the rule. That is tho
reason why the Saints love and sustain
them with all their heart and soul. no
matter how the poisoned arrows of |
hatred may fall around them.

Childhood of Herbert ~pencer.

so Herbert was sent to school but he never liked
the sort OF lessons boys usually learned and was
always unsuccessful with them His real life was
outside OF school He went for long rambles IN
the country in search Of flowers and other treas
ures such as all boys delight in but his favorite
pastime fishing, and sometimes he would hsh
the whole long summer day. from daylight 10 dark
All this time Of apparent idleness vas not lost.
Herbert could scarcely be out OF doors so much
without noticing the living creatures about him,
and his father, without making him feel that he
was learning lessons, led him into the study OF
insects. He became so much interested IN the SUD-
ject that he made a considerable collection Oh
moths butterflies. dragon flies and beetles which
he had himself reared from their more youthful!
and less beautiful forms He introduced TO the
study Of other subjects in the same way. BY his
association with his father be gained some knowl-
edge OF chemistry, and then he began making ex-
perinents for his pleasure This resulted In
some damage 10 his clothes and sometimes to the
furniture as well but his father would not allow
his doings to be intetfered with. By the time he
thirteen although he knew less Latin ana
Greek than boys OF his age were expected 10 kno"
in those days he had an unusual knowledge OF
the world about him and had acquired the habit OF
observing and thinking And then there came
change in his life He sent to Hinton more
than q hundred miles distant TO live as pupil
with uncle. his fathers brother. This arrange
ment was so little to Herberts liking that after he
had been az Hinton for q few weeks he got UP
early one morning and set out 70 walk home He
shed many bitter tears when he had gone far
enough TO realize what the loneliness and difficult
ties Of the Journey would be- but he did not con-
sder the possibility OF turning back He had
money enough TO pay for bed the TWO nights
he was the way. but he was so tired and excited
that he could sleep. He reached home on the
third day after setting out, having walked one
hundred and fifteen miles with food but bread
and water and a few glasses OF beer
His uncle and aunt thought he should be severely
punished for such behavior, but his father was Of
