LIFE OF A MAN
A number of us were chatting round the fire the other evening and talk roved on philosophy and religion. AVe were going along quietly and in fair agreement for topics of that kind until someone, somehow, brought up the subject of killing and the right to kill. No. sir. capital punishment did not enter into it. We could not at all agree on this: “That a man has the right to take his own life." Quite apart from the teaching' of Christianity which for the purposes of discussion we omitted, the fireside? circle was about evenly split “Aye” and “No” on the problem of a man’s responsibility to himself and to the State. Perhaps readers of The Sun can strike the balance. Personally I think a man can do what ha will with wi.at is his own. JUDAS (not Iscariot).
