Mans Fear of Death.

That which we term the fear Of
death in normal men and animals ls
an expression Of their desire to live.
We're 1t not that this desire was deep
ly implanted In all living things they
would soon disappear. This is shown
by the efforts made to end their lives
by those who have lost the desire to
live. And losing It they lose fear con-
