THE INHUMANITY
OF MANKIND

People, as general rule, are
inclined to censure unsparingly
that person that takes his own
life, never according to him any
reason sufficient to Justify in
any measure his act.
Even professed christian peo-
pie turn from one who takes his
own life as if he were some vile
creature instead of a human be-
ing. Mercy, charity. compass
sion, and all the other virtues
which the~good book says should
be extended by the followers of
the lowly Nazarine. are entirely
forgotten, and instead an evil
spirit seems to possess them.
There are instances, though
infrequently, when the life of a
man becomes so beset with wtr.
ries and pains and tortures that
death is the only relief; to live
would be to suffer more than
thousands of deaths. For such
an one we have only pity, not
censure.
The following paragraphs, TAX
en- from the Logan Journal, des-
cribe the attitude of the people
of that city toward a poor fellow
who took his own life. He had
been a peaceful. honest citizen,
but in despair and desperation
he killed himself. Instead of
sympathizing with him, he was
left to be buried like an outcast:
"And when it was ended un-
der such tragic circumstances as
at least proved the depth of his
despair, not one protested SER
want of the great Master whose
life, whose work and whose
charity have been the admiration
of the centuries and stand today
as the model after which they
profess to pattern. was found
willing to brave the criticism of
the uncharitable and heartless to
'Fsuch an extent as tatstand over
his dead body to proclaim what
ever virtues he may have pos
sessed-and he was not devoid
of them--or to offer up a prayer
in the name of that great and
most merciful One, for the re.
pose of this poor erring mans
soul. and that eternal justice
might be tempered with that
great mercy which we praise and
profess as our ideal.
If all who have erred are tc
be judged by such standards as
we, ourselves, set truly but few
would escape the burning. fol
there are none perfect, no, not
one."
Poor Lind! His end was as
pitiful as tragic. Little differ.
ence did it make to him whether
or not his strivings after better
things were noted, his better
deeds called to mind, or whether
mercy was invoked in his behalf
He will be judged by a God who
: is merciful as well as just, anC
will receive his punishment anC
