IS DEATH PAINFUL?:

The physical pain of death depends, / suppose,
the particular OF death, says a writer In
London Tit Bits. Naturally, death from starvation
or must be very much more painful than
death from old age. Dying is probably more pain
ful than death itself. At some most painful death
beds there seems to a period Of calm when
the end draws near. | think II is great pity that
times prolonged by the OF powerful drugs. /
remember a doctor saying 10 me at the death bed
of young officer: "If there were relations here
should keep him alive for a few hours" Why
should dying man be- kept alive for these senti-
mental reasOns7
suppose great deal Of the palnfulness Of death
Is due TO our struggling against 1t. Just as when

The reason we resist Is that cling 10 life. This
does not necessarily meaS that we are afraid 20
die. that We have doubts about immortality, and
want TO have as much OF this world possible for
fear there Is other. The greatest struggle for
life ever witnessed the part OF a young
spritualist who most certainly believed In the
next world. He simply refused 20 die. and did
literally live some days longer because Of his de-

upon proof that the plaintiff had neither drunk nor
