(Timothy 1:9-10, According to divine. law 'murderers are to be''removed. fromsociety and put to. death:- . We- see . this same principle. practiced bymedical science. Surgical, .amputation is an undesirable thing, but very necessary ii` the patient is to 'survive. Onediseased limb 4,? 'could poison the whole body.' It is , anact of wisdom to amputate. So these members of :society who are •.a' threat F : must . be eliminated for the safety of our citizens, We all know that killers seldom' quit killing..They sleep with their weapons within easy reach and if confronted. by their police or opposition will knife or shoot. i, • Can it be • true that our members of parliament. will ' again dare ' to .ignore , this • divine . law by voting for abolition of capital..punish- ment for deliberate murder? The reduced sentences for criminals is making Canada a criminal's paradi•se. • Naturally crime' will increase in such a state. Itis no longer. ' . safe for a woman to go out at 'night without an escort. Older women hardly. dare carry a handbag -even in daylight in „our large' and seine' cities. If abolition of the ' death penalty is to be retainedand. .murderers'' are given life sentences and let out on - parole after a few years the threat . to the quiet, honest',. hardworking • citizen will „continue to become more serious and' -taxes- must, -of necessity, soar. I fear too that -Canadians-will carry weapons 'when ons' the street. -Also • our - peneten- t tiaries Will be -overcrowded, the number ofescapes will multiply,and fatalities among Wardens, police, and i ordinary` citizens :will -.con- tinue to increase. The hold-up man knows that if he kills he will net be hanged (or another means;t'_used) for it, Life imprisonment .no longer means life. A fifteen -year old sentence -never means, fifteen years, This means that those who live by' crime•.tvil•1• con- tinue to migrate to oux,land because it is a safes= place to -operate . Who qualifies :to vote • .on capital' punishment or' corninuted death"sentence? I think it is highlyunfair members of parliament z to have to'. bear the respon- sibility iii' .the 'matter, of -•.capita•] punishment or to commute' a death sentence. I would . suspect that most ,pf - our members of parliament knout • very- little ;, about criminal, law. To have to vote oh' such an issue' puts.% member in a• • serious position!When such a vote is ponding the • membek is somewhat pressured' by the vocalminority of his con- stituency which he un- mittingly thinks to be the majorit3j.

This is what they have been `trained for and to• deal with. We have no class. in our society that is as .• well 'equipped to deal with such delicate and serious' matters.. W hy.. in. the name_of common sense:are untrained mernbe'rs •of parliament compelled. to decide• the question of capital punish- ment? To me this is .like asking a.mah who has never carefully studied the rules to referee a NHL hockey game. It would be most unfair -to the players, an imposition on the stranger. to the game and an. rnsuit.._to_,th.e __spectetors ask merhbers of parliament • e •- s- 04 • e� capital Punishment or to commute the death sentence is an impositionon the members and ah insult to the judiciary,Who have majored in the study of justice. :I also believe th_e jury system to -be the safest and most impartial in the world..
