There are all sorts OF ways of living.
and all sorts of ways of dying. And
death. as life. is what you make OF it.
You can regard ii as mere phys
ical occurrence; as Aristotle: Death
is none other than the recession OF
the soul from the body"
You can use death as a correction
OF life: as Epictetus says: Keep death
before your eyes and YOU will be held
back from evil thoughts. also your too
strong passions will be cooled
You can forget it and wait till it
comes: as in the Pa-Scia Theater Of
vishnu Sharma il is written: HE who
is not afraid of death while he Is living
will not know when 1t comes.
You can reflect that at least death is
the last of your troubles. as Horace;
Death is the last line Of things.
You can think that what death is de-

darkling shadow taking form or good
or evil according TO our minds.
You can have a religious faith when
will enable YOU to approach death un-
der the comforting conviction that II IS
but the introduction into another ana
better life. So Paul exclaimed:
death. where is thy sting. y grave
where is thy victory:
And you can remember tnat inns pc
lief is as John Fiske says, coter-
minous with humanity" that is. the
expression of an instinct as old as the
race.
Also that this belief is due TO love.
az Victor Hugo SAYS. THE faith in
another life is born Of our faculty OF
loving.
Perhaps you can get something from
Rousseau's saying: ITO live free and
not TO attach ones self too much TO
human things is the best way to learn
how to die"
You may ponder upon Lacordaires
assertion: THE contempt of death IS
the essential principle of all morality.
Or upon Pascars famous sentence

ISOLATION.
IL YOU are tempted to give up. re-
member what George Sewell wrote:

The coward sneaks 10 death. the
brave live on.
While death has been called grim
and cruel and horrible. there is anoth-
er way of taking il: as Henry called II.
dear. beauteous death. the jewel Of
the just"
In Human Confessions YOU will
find it said that death rs a mothering
thing. with feathered breast"
Men fear death. said Bacon, las
children fear the dark; and that
natural fear in children is increased
with tales. so is the other.
on the whole it would seem that the
most sensible thing to do with death.
as with life. is to look on il lovingly
and take it sweetly. though We unaer-
stand one no more than the other. 1
like Lowell's attitude:
But life is sweet. though all that
makes it sweet
Lessen like sounds OF friends depart
And death is beautiful as feet of
Coming to welcome at our journeys

And Henley's lines are very sane and
helpful:
