Nv. Things that Blast Human
Lives.
II is important that you know
something about things that weaken
human beings and cause so many
hapless children to he born into life
long misery. II is terrible thing
for a human soul to be taken away
before its time. II is an awful
crime for one man to snuff out the
life of fellow man and send him
suddenly into the great beyond
where he will enter prematurely
into the realm of his destiny. But
II is "A thousand times worse to be
responsible for bringing into life a
human being that was doomed be-
fore its birth To life of pain and
sorrow, that can live at best only a
portion of wholesome life, that
can never perform all the functions
that normal man or woman was
created Ia perform, and that must
take chances on being swept away
into an uncertain eternity long be-
fore the average span of human life
has been reached, ID is terrible
enough t0 destroy a life; it is many
lines more terrible To damn a hu-
nan soul TO such misery in this
life that nature will have to de-
slroy the blighted thing to keep it
from coniaminating the other lives
that she has selected TO perpetuate
The race. In the great, impartial
court of nature where justice is al
ways given. no other punishment is
ever inflicted SO terrible as the pun
ishmcnt that is meted out to the
man or woman who is personally
responsible for bringing into life
a diseased and blasted child Ma
ture will kill the diseased thing
sooner or later. She will attack il
with scrofula, with bronchitis, with
consumption, with other diseases
till II is removed from among men.
If the diseased and weakened child
lives nature determines that il shall
not perpeluate its like very long
and usually stops the reproduction
after the third generation.
You are aware that there are
many kinds of illness that weaken
the body and make il susceptible
to disease. A cOnsumptive mother
