Deuth and Life
Il fision at Ckr1stmas
BY CLINTON DANGERFELD

| TN THE early days of men the Lord
| sent two powers on earth to have
dominion over them. One of these
| was Death-the other Life.
The stern front of Life showed
what he really was: unmerciful,
exacting, swift to demand obedience
to thousand laws, swift to punish
with the keen sword of pain when
those laws were broken.
His eyes were the eyes of a war
lord; his hand as cold as iron-and as
strong.
The tasks he set were many. Few
OF these were to the liking of the chill
dren OF men. though some thinkers
perceived that out of these heavy
tasks came strength, also that if one
wrestled with them stoutly one might
even master Life himself and compel
him to graciousness.
Now the other power-Death-was
a woman.
Tall she was, but so perfectly
formed that her height was no blem-
ish. Sleepy-eyed she was, but her
slow, sweet smile was so infinitely
tender and lovely that in the midst of
their tasks men stopped to gaze on
her as she passed.
At last one of the young men fol-
lowed her. She spoke to him-her
voice being that unspeakable music
which not even a violin can outsing-
and the young man returned into the
fields of Life no more.
Then little child, weary of flower
gathering, pulled at her garments
hem, and all the workers held their
breath, waiting to see what Death
would do; for Life had painted her in
very evil colors.
But Death lifted the child and laid
her on her own deep bosom and sang
to her.
As she sang the child slept, and an
exquisite smile fingered on its lips, as
though its visions were very fair.
Then Death held out the child that
the workers might see, and cried:
"Oh, We who labor, beset with un-
ending toll, see We how have blessed
the child? Never more shall the heat
of summer vex her. nor the cold of
winter! I have made her deaf to sor-
row and unmoved by the vibrations We
call joy. Forever shall her brow go
and because she hath
chosen me l will give her the key to
Heavens immortal gates,
And worker cried:
"Ye have blessed the child because
she was your chosen one?"
The cry was a question.
Said Death dreamily:
AS gave the child peace, so would |
give it to all who come to me-
trusting me whollyi"
Looking out across the blazing
delds she stretched her rounded arms
md cried: "Ye are all nina! Lover
Of souls am T."
And with one accord they threw
Town their tools and followed Ler into
! far land. beyond the domain of Life.
Now Life was vexed exceedingly by
he unfinished task. He went straight

way to the Lord and complained hov
Death had led away part of his work
ers.
And the Lord sent a great whit.
angel unto the remainder and forbade
them. through the angel, to hearker
unto Death until they could serve Life
no longer
For the Lord knew that the sterr
dominion of Life must be, for the sake
of the men he hoped to complete
But only few. very few, of the
children of men obeyed the angel Let
Death but pass the toilers, and her
beauty was SO great they continued to
desert their posts and follow after
her.
Then Life cried unto the Lord with
a great voice:
Death seduces my servants."
And the Lord said:
Deal with Death as thou wilt"
Therefore Life seized on Death and
cut away her perfumed locks. and put
on her painted mask, most hideous
to behold. And he sealed the lips of
Death, saying, BE thou dumb, and be
thou no longer known as a woman"
With this he cast over Deaths won
derful form black mantle, like a pail,
and on it Life painted:
This is the King of Terrors."
Then he sent Death forth, and there
after whenever she came near the
workers they fed from her and cried
aloud unto Life:
Matters not how hard thy tasks, oh
dear Life, If thou wilt but save US
from this frightful DEATH"
And Life said unto the Lord:
Have l not done well?"
And he answered In exceeding sor-
row:
Needs must thy work on Death
stand. And this because of the weak
ness of men who were seduced by her
beauty and who needed not my an
gels voice. Yet very differently had
l planned for my people. For In the
beginning set the loneliness of Death
plainly before them, that they might
endure their tasks happily, knowing
how sweet the end would be. But
they have defeated my wisdom. On
their own heads be itv'
And Life went his way, satisfied.
Thereafter, when a child or man be-
came useless to him he cast 1t into
the arms of Death, because its task
was finished.
And the soul of Death sang to the
soul of the mortal given her, though
her lips were dumb, and she blessed 1t
with an infinite blessing and bore 1t
away.
But the toilers mourned greatly that
Death should have dominion over one
Of their number. and they turned the
more desperately to Life. who smiled
sternly and was content.
