Wealthy and Criminal
The British Bishop Worries


him especially discover that suicide COM
among wealthy, highly educated persons
He is mistaken there the WEALTHIEST do commit suicide
occasionally, but NOT the highly educated
You may have Rothschd killing himself in Vienna
worrying about girl But you don't find John D.
Rockefeller Henry Ford committing suicide They IN
TERESTED IN THEIR WORK.
Men highly educated wrong of the word
that is merely STUFFED with education that they don't USE
commit suicide sometimes Money NOT USED and education
not used may suicide "A useless e neglecng to
use power possessed is discouragng desperate thing
The Bishop says trouble in America is that
we neglect the life There
thing to that
But then men ALWAYS neglected the moral factor
in life past they neglected it good deal
than they do
instance good old Bible days there lack
of the moral factor here and there.
the chapter of Exodus concerning slaves various
things written that would strange in day In
all right to have slaves keep them
indefinitely and do about you choose with them long
as they HEBREW saves and therefore of
Lords people says for instance these interest
ing verses
eff thou buy an Hebrew serUant six years he shall
serUe; the seventh he shall go free for nothing
eff he in by himself, he shall go out by himself;
If he married, then his wfe shall Uith him.
eff his master haUe giUen him a Oife, and she haze
him daughters, the uDfe and her children
shall be her masters, and he shall Out By HIMSELF
my uife, and my children; uOM not go out free;
"Then his shall bring him unto the Judges; he
shall also bring him the door, unto the door post;
and his shall bore his through Oith 0ul;
and he shall serUe him forever.
How does that strike you?
We very moral now, but Suppose man owned
slave law compelled him to set the slave free
AFTER SEVEN YEARsmerey that slave happened
be the religion the Suppose the slave had
decency stay witt his family born in slavery
what would the modern man do?
wouldn't find many that would nail his ear to
door keep him slave forever simply because the poor
fellow wouldn't leave his wife and children.
We than they in old Bible days, good
Bishop of Durham modern patriarch turned slave girl
with own child adrift the desert to please jealous
cid wife, he would not brag about it,
The Bishop says that people committing suicide and
generally going wrong because they lack religion.
On the other hand Bishop remember that of
terrible recent suicides have been based on religious
frenzy pushing religion too far.
Aristotle wasn't Christian chance be- for
Christianity had his day Yet there great
deal of Christian wisdom in his saying Not too much not

been some breaking down of moral fiber
But the human hasn't to the dogs incidentally
If the British Bishop we'll Informed he would know that
there is much morality in the United States than
there is in Great Britain
Statistics will prove him that diseases born of immortality

However, both Great Britain AND the United
