Beyond a certain line, in the pro-
gress Of civilization, the abnormal
is bound to reveal itself in myriads of
startling forms. We see it in the
crazy "isms' of philosophy and relig-
ion; in the silly "fads" of social life;
in the wild denials of the sacredness
of law in government in the hideous
vices that spring out Of and prey upon
the social system.
Consider the case of Freric Mors,
the self-confessed slayer of eight old
people in the German Odd Fellows
home in New York state.
When asked the reason for this hor-
rid crime, he answered, Il killed them
because they were in pains that could
not be relieved. Also. they were not
pleasant physically, to themselves or
anybody else. 1t was really kind
hearted to put them to sleep with
chloroform."
Most terrible of all the terrible
things in this confession is the fact
that these abnormal feelings are sim
ply the perversion of some of the most
beautiful and glorious qualities of hui
man nature. 1t was out of pity Zone
of the divinest elements of the i'm
mortal souD that they sprung, in the
case of this butcher. This over-sensi-
tive creature could not bear to witness
the sufferings Of his fellow men.
There may be crimes which have their
origin in the purely evil realms of life,
if any such there be. In the case of
Mors, unquestionably, the evil was
only perversion of the good But it
was hideous, all the same.
