A LITTLE SERMON

Here is a little ssrnonette fro m
the London Daily Mirror that con-
tains more truth than fiction:
Does a bad imam feel pain more
than a man who leads an honest
life? 1t has been stated, apropos
the decision of the house of COM
non to punish white slavers by
flogging, that by a happy provision
of nature the skin actually be
comes more sensitive as the moral
sense becomes deadened. A doc
tor said that as a rule those who
are criminally inclined to bear pain
or bodily suffering of any kind
extremely badly. Men who are
quite hardened on the moral side
of thier character seems to get
more self-conscious about their
physical feelings than ordinary
men do. A man who is morally
lax leads a loose life and destroys
his nervous system, He feels pain
much more acutely than q man of
average temperate habits and o
clean conscience.
