The second inciteuunt puts in the
hands of the sufferer the suiclio's
knife, the hangman's noose or the
vial labeled with the two fatal
words, "Deadly Polson." To how
many in every age has that insidious
temptation come? 'How long will
the human race listen to that hide-
ous voice which bode Job seek in
death eseapc from his misery? That
tempter's voice is sounding louder
and louder every day. Sha11 the
crime of self murder bo allowed
longer to spread the pernicious doc-
trine that with one stroke of the
tenor across the jugular vein or with
ono plunge in front of a flying loco-
motive or with one leap from high
building or lofty palisade the would-
be suicide can find rest, eternal rest,
Cod given, blissful oblivion for all
who are weary of life and peace for
souls sick of the re11n1ts of sin?
ATHEISM. RESPONSIBLE,.
First, I charge atheism with the
chief responsibility for the crime.
Self murder is tho hidoous black vis-
aged executioner of the merciless
monster wo call athoiem, agnosti-
cism, infidelity. It is tho old, slimy
serpont coiled up under the. over-
shadowing branches of the gnarled
• and worm-eaten tree of unbelief, at
the foot of which sits the grinning,
blear eyed hag misery crooning a
dirge for a lullaby. IL is tho death
ratio of a human being whose
parched lips have been sot to the
TIM al the chalice tilled with the
scorching, poisonous concoction of
blasphemy and falsehood compound-
ed by a Voltaire, a Rousseau, a
Thomas Paine or a Robert C. Inger-
soll. It is the whetstone, wet with
human blood, upon which the moral
sensibilities can be blunted and at
the same. time the suicide's knife
sharpened, for it teaches inunortal
man that there Is no hereafter and
that he is responsible for his liio's
actions to no Divine Maker and
King.
No suicidal razor was ever honed
upon the leaves of the opened Bible.
Though the morning newspapers al-
most every day are blackened with
the awful obituary tragedies of
• men and women who have deliber
ately taken their lives by the bloody
band of self murder, you cannot
find among those who perished, in
the full possession of reason, a single
consecrated Christian church mem-
ber. You cannot find one person
among them all who realized that
be was a beloved child of God and
that 13e expected to go to meet
a loving Heavenly leather unless tho
poison killed himself during a 111 of
temporary im)anity, as did Hugh
Miller, the great Scotch scientist,
who blew out his brains during
Mental derangement, or that elinin -
eat Now York clergyman who, in
• Ylolirium, leaped from a window,
tv'hy? The Bible distinctly and em-
phatically declares that no num has
a right to commit soli murder. It
warns mon that they must answer for
this terrible erimo before rho judg-
mont seat of Christ, and it holds
out to them no hope of pardon dur-
ing all eternity. Read tho eighth
'chapter of Revelation: "And mur-
derers and whoremongers and idola-
tors and all Liars shall have their
part in the lake which burneth with
fire and brimstone, which is the sec-
ond death," Read tho first epistle
•of John, third chapter and fifteenth
verso: "No nuirderor hatif eternal
life abiding in him." In tho sound
of such a divine waning, does any
Christian .min, with his eyes wide
open, attempt to sound the "upon
eesanO" of true pearly gates of the
New Jerusalem with the crack of a
suicidal pistol? Dare any Christian,
by self dostruction, obliterate that
life which God alono can give and
which God alone has tL right to tako
away?
PUT ON TTTE1 GOSPEL ARMOR.
The whole tendency of tho gospel
of Jesus Christ is opposed to this
Suicidal epidemic; tho whole ten-
dency of unbollef is to promote and
Increase it. To the atholet life is a
single. span, one ai)utmcnt of which
