Napoleon IN Nis Dying psliFlum re-
called hls early Triumphs.
! We listen with bated breath to
the last words of dying people. Why
we do il is difficult to explain. Can
we expect revelation Of truth
from brain disorganized BY illness
and agony? The dying man still
belongs to this earth. He is still
fettered by bonds of flesh, still
weighted down by the burden Of the
body. If we were being guided by
an memorable logic We should de-
clare that these last ntterances are
without any value.
There is popular theory that in
his last moment the moribund sees
his whole lie spread out before
him Ike a panorama. So we hope
against the objections Of reason
that our diving relative or friend
may let US share this moment Of en-
ightenment and give US the mean
ing Of life in an epigram.
