THE ABUSE OF PRIVILEGE
I wonder if my readers some
times pause to think of the bound
less privileges that men and wo
men possess? There is nothing in
or on this big, round earth?no,
nor in tho skies above, that is not
ours to lay hold of, and use as we
please, so long as we respect the
rights of our fellow-men and wo
men. *
Yet, man is the only created
being that abuses his divine per
mit, well knowing that he must
suffer by so doing. Like the spoil
ed child* he sprees, does excesses
K in everything debauches his diges
tive, eliminative, nervous and sex
ual systems?there is no privilege
that he does not abuse?and the
penalties are as sure as today'
sunset! ?
The abuse of privilege is mar.
kind's most outstanding sin; wt
ought to be ashamed of ourselve.;
?blessed as we are above all ani
mate species, and defiantly indulg
ing our appetites as if wc were
damageproof. Who among us has
ever observed one of the so-called
lower animals violating the natur
al law? Violating the law of right
living? They are seldom ill, and
usually live out the full expecta
tion of life unless man interferes.
Excesses in food and drink; ex
travagance in our output of ener
gy; prodigality in things which
are sacred; intemperance in so
called luxuries; defiance within the
orchard of forbidden fruits?all
these are producers of suffering
and unhappiness, curtailers of life
itself. I am not sermonizing,? I
am arguing for temperance in ALL
things, and against the violation
of our God-given privileges, know
ing that life health and happiness
are the sure rewards. Right liv
ing will, in time, do away with
the doctor and his gripful of "pel
lets." There is nothing that we
may not use; the danger lies in i
abuse. *
