TWO SINNERS.

TWO SINNERS.
There was a man. Il was said one
time.
who went as,ras in hts youthful
Can the brain keep calm and the
heart keep quiet
When the blood like river is run
And boys viii be boys. the old folk
say,
And a man is the better who's had
his day
The man is reformed. and the
preacher told
or the prcdigal son who came back
10 the fold.
And Christian people threw open the
with a warmer welcome than ever
Wealth and honor were his to COM
mand
And a speTless woman gave him her
hand.
The world strewed their pathway
with Mowers bloom.
Crying. God bless lady and God
bless groom"
In the. early dawn OF her youthful
she had more passion and hear, than
And she followed elindly where fond
love led;
And love Is ever dangerous guide
To wander unchecked at a fair girls
side.
The woman repented and turned
from sin.
But no doors opened 10 let her IN.
The preacher prayed that she might
be forgiven.
But told her TO look for nercy In
heaven.
For this Is the way OF the world we
know.
That the woman Is stoned while the
man may so.
A brave man welded her after all.
But the world said. frowning We

The Simplicity of Death
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915. by Frank Crane)

One of the best things published about
the celebrated Frank case was a poem
which recited how chivalrous citizens
avenged in an orgy of sadistic murder
the death of a girl whom as worker
they never thought to help toward bet
ter wages or conditions.
Life. with its sordid miseries, its
grinding injustice, does not make a lively
appeal; it seems to be sort of tangled,
hopeless, socialistic, theoretic problem:
il is clouded with arguments, befuddled
by the dust of the conflict of gain with
humanity. But death is simple. The
primitive passions it awakens are quick
and clear.
When Marie Rockhill, victim Of a
bungling midwife in Chicago, was
brought back dead to her village of Etna
Green, there was no condemnation of
her. The town regretted that she feared
TO trust its Christian charity. They for
gave freely her waywardness, the pastor
spoke of her with pathetic kindness.
Marie's death wiped away all censure.
But suppose she had returned with her
baby alive to Etna Green? Would she
have been received with the same large
ness of forgiveness? Could she have re-
sumed her place in village circles, and
would she have been welcomed again in
to the church and Sunday SCHOOL,
No. it was death that removed the
scarlet letter from her breast. 1t was
death that made pity safe. 1t was death
that changed cruel, long-drawn tragedy
of dairy struggle to pathetic and tender
tolerance shed about her coffin.
Shocking but truthful is the verdict
of newspaper: Kind az were the in
tentions Of Etna Green, the town is hap
pier with Marie Rockhili dead
The ruling passion of a community is
not humanity but responsibility.
All manner of sin and iniquity can
be forgiven but for one. especially
woman. who has offended against the
canon of virtuous conduct there is
nothing 10 90 but 10 go away or to die
We think more Of station in life than
of life itself. To abate bit from our
censure of those who through weakness
have cone wrong seems TO us 10 DIS
prize our own integrity and to enlist
ourselves among the champions of evil
But as a matter of fact. forgiveness
and the kindly treatment Of the offender
are not signs of weakness but of
strength. In proportion as we refrain
from accusation and view with humane
gentleness those who gang kennln
wrang," we demonstrate, not a wicked
partnership with crime, but the sure and
sterling nature Of our own virtue.
Let us not be less lenient toward the
dead. but let US save some of our SYM
pathy and helpful forgetfulness for the
errors Of those that still dare to live.
Millions honored Abraham Lincoln
dead who gibed him living. And how
many revere the name of the Crucified
who would, were He alive, cast Him out
as a dreamer, hereto, and trouble
maker!

War Must Be a Good
Thing; a Doctor
Gets a Book Out of 1t

There are people (human beings) who
= claim that war is good for the human
i race. A new book is just published by
\ George w. Grille, an American surgeon in
charge of an ambulance corps in France
describing what takes place in our bodies
when excited by the conditions of war.
We are treated to a biologic survey of
man, his emotions, his nervous system
and the change of blood pressure under
\ tremendous effort.
We are Furthermore told that the
wounded in Belgium were experimental
upon to far greater extent than was ever
any four-footed animal, largely without
anaesthetics, for the edification of the
surgeons "in the~interest of science
The first year of the war; it is stated
\ 100000 men were killed or wounded.
The most common causes were: "frag-
\ lnentation of the body-a painless exit;
shock violent, restless exit; hemor
image, quiescent. fading exit; and in
fections, blood poisoning, gangrene, teta-
nus, etc.
Take your choice, for Dr. Grille says
that "waf is normal state of man and
cannot be eliminated from the web of
life" He even goes step farther and
\ Says that "its elimination would not be
an advantage to man" Surely not, if
war is normal.
ha 10 cf VT he
have been aroused to many things and
perhaps the greatest is that if war is
Inevitable, we have been on the wrong
track these many hundred years and our
civilization has been no civilization what
ever; conviction which is being borne
in upon many thoughtful minds.
That is place of humanity and real
growth we have shoddy veneer which
brushes off with the first hard wear We
are coming to see, even in America, that
with the slightest stimulus from with
out, the old brute instinct is aroused and
man takes his place once more with the
beasts of the jungle.
We are in a mighty conflict, here and
now, and the opposing forces are the
small army which stands for spiritual
dominion and the big army which feels
Z that our only safety lies in physical
strength which only steel, iron, powder
and shell can give.
In Europe the spiritual has fallen ;
trodden in the mire by the same feeling
which impelled our learned doctor to
I write his book. In America, we are still
clinging to our ideals of life, liberty and
4 the pursuit of happiness. Why must this
4 disastrous undertow drag us down?
There is only one reason and we may
4 as well recognize it. We are not yet even
partly civilized. SO long as we admit
that might makes right we are in the
class with the lion, the tiger and the
wolf
