towards death as a terrible ordeal as
ISOLATED with hell and damnation
There is great opportunity right
here for an opposing argument in favor
OF a wise Creator, whose design is kind
and good; who is long-suffering; who
understands human nature and makes
every kind of allowance for it; and
" no didn't bring people into this word
to be worked and worried and then
burnt up in the next.
But such a line of thought must be
worked out elsewhere: the subject just
now in hand is The Folly of Mourn
ing"
The fact is death has been made
to mean misery for the living: natural
sorrow for the loss of a dear one has
must be accentuated and aggravated;
and the sorrow must be rubbed in by
compulsory observance of a whole lot
Of rules and regulations.
Regardless of climate, regardless of
expense, families are expected to dress
in black; and after the funeral they
are expected to continue in black for
heaven knows how long: frequently
until the next death in the family,
when it begins all over again.
Poor people, who cannot afford it,
and who are the most numerous, feel
this burden heavily; but submit out
of fear of public opinion.
Public opinion, by the way. is largely
a matter of one -half of the world
the other half to see who viii.
break the next rule.
And SO the burden goes on, and
death means expense as well as loss of
a friend
The text of this article is Simplify
Stop the foolishness. Bury your dead
without ostentation or display. Go to
funerals without. dressing up. Wear
a black bow for month.
If you want to be sorry do 1t at
home; don't suggest funerals every
time you appear in public; it's not
fair to the public and does no one any
good
Why a string of cabs and horses and
5ressed-up drivers? Because your
neighhors do it. Why not walk?
Wealthy. people should remember, |
when they are piling up the expenses
# a funeral with the best of intentions |
md as an imaginary mark Of respect |
for the dead, that they are piling up |
The misery for their poorer brethren |
who will feel bound to go and do |
likewise.

1S12-seventy- six per cent more, to be
exact Not since the tidal wave of
emigration in 1907 has the exodus been
SO great.
. Two causes are assigned for the &C.
tive emigration. First, political uncer-
tainty and rumblings of war from the
Balkans ECHOED throughout Eastern
less warlike to long for homes where
peace appears to be more stable. The
volume of emigration swelled from
Russia and Austria, too, in the race or
every encouragement the governments
could place in the way Of their sub
sects. Many persons were called to
take up arms temporarily in both
countries, and in Russia direct OBJ
stacles were placed in the path of
would-be enigrants.
The second cause is the prevailing
low steerage rate to Canada This Is
the outgrowth of a rate war among
several steamship companies. The fare
has been shaved down to less than
$50 thus making it possible for any
body to go.
From Prussia come statistics to glad
den the hearts of the forces engaged in
orld-wide battle with tuberculosis:
Not only has the onward march OF
the white plague been checked In this
section of the empire, but its ravages
have even been lessened. The death
rate in 1911 was 1912 per 10000; in
1912 it was 14.49. where 61,2l9 per-
sons died in 1911, $500 died in 1879
and this notwithstanding the normal
increase in population.
Even more encouraging Is the report
from Hamburg to the Central Anti
Tuberculosis Committee of Germany.
The death rate there dropped from
1919 per 10000 in 1896 to S.64 In 1872.
Significant was the report that deaths
in hospitals and institutions rose from
nearly 56 per cent in 1912. Germany
is beginning to rid itself OF its an
cient horror of hospitals.
During the year ending January
last, the report of the central commit
tee recites. there were l41 sanitar1ums
for the treatment of adults suffering
from pulmonary tuberculosis, ana "a

treated. Within their walls were
In addition there were many other
institutions where other forms or the
disease were treated.

cued at the last moment as a train is
bearing down on him. The censors'
shears eliminated that portion of the
film showing the struggle, the robbery
and the binding of the man to the
tracks. AS a result, the astonishcd
public sees the robbers entering the
home and suddenly sees the farmer,
manacled, lying before the onrushing
train.

stupor. AS the public finally saw the

THE FOLLY OF MOURNING
BY .oILFILLAN SCOTT.

There are exactly the same number
of people die as are born.
1t Is as natural to die as to be born
Man thinks al. men mortal but him
self" yet we can all look one another
in the face and say. Some day you'll
be dead
It's only matter of time
Then why all this fuss about death i?
One would think from all the preach
ing and praying to be delivered from
the Jaws of DEATH whatever they
are, that death was something won
derful and unusual and terrible;
whereas it is really natura. and usual
and necessary.
The early teaching of the church
and, since the art of printing was in
troduced, the general trend of litera-
ture, are largely responsible for the
peoples mental attitude towards death.
The church adopted the method of
frightening people into being good;
men, women and children were taught
to look upon death as the doorstep
of a lurid hell an inferno of sulphurous
flame; which could only be avoided
by rigid obedience to the priest
coupled with liberal subscriptions.
1t worked we'll: People behaved and
the church prospered; but the church
and the people today are on a level
footing; education has done the level
ing, and the people can tell the church
as much as the church can tell the
people, which is nothing; for nobody
knows anything; they think they know
and believe they know and say they
know, but they don't know.
Books without number have been
written setting forth theories and
thoughts and ideas; and, after all, not
one OF the writer's knew any more than
their readers.
Hell ard death have been coupled
as matter Of course; and
Death bed scenes have been written up
with the most heart rending fulness
Of detail; and it has paid: morbid
and girls have shed tears over
these agonizing stories; they have told
-heir bosom friends about them; the
books have sold; and authors and pub
fishers have made much money.
1t is not the purpose of this article
% question the motives of the church
Dr. of the writer's; but 1t is necessary to
mention them in order to account for
he mental attitude of SO many people
