Family Tries Wholesale Suicide as ‘Baby’ Dies; One of Four May Live Fort Wayne, Ind., Feb, 14—(?) —With the Larwills it was always one for all, all for one—even to death. Relatives often commented on the family devotion in the house- hold of Kenneth Larwill, 54- year-old attorney, his wife, Mary 52, and their daughters, Ma 28, Louise, 27, and “the baby,” Florence, age nine. Devoted they were; but that all should die because “the baby” died— Florence had been ill with scarlet fever since November. Monday the doctor came, felt the feeble pulse and shook his head. The father, mother and two sisters understood. Florence died. Word of the child's death reached relatives. They went Tuesday to the Larwill home to pay their respects and to comfort the family. The doors were lock- ed. In the front bedroom lay the body of “the baby.” The other rooms were still and empty, ex- cept for the bathroom. There they found the family—father, mother and two sisters. Three of them were dead. One daughter, Louise, was still breath- ing. A hissing gas heater and the heavy odor of gas told the trag- edy. There was, too, a note. It read: “In view of the fact that we have nothing more to live for, we die together. Neither one urged the other.” The note was signed by all four =-parents and two daughters. But they did not die together. They took Louise to a hospital and Wednesday her condition was critical, but slightly improved. man border.

They are there- fore teaching and working toward a new church ideal. Many are not even conscious that they are working in unison with others toward a united church for the future. The short- sighted policy of the present-day church official will be his down fall tomorrow. For the young people who have the call of God in their hearts will find a way or make one to answer that call and serve Him, in spite of the stumbl- ing blocks put in their way by present church officials. ‘What will this new Christian church teach and stand for. To my mind it will teach that God is Christlike and that men can be like Christ to a far greater degree than they now are. The new church will recognize God's truth in all bfanches of knowledge, ‘That more of God's truth has been reveal- ed to men in recent years than ever before in the history of the world. But men have not given God the credit for all the recent marvels that have come into the world. Men have claimed the credit for new inventions, when they were only the means that God had of revealing and giving to mankind devices which should create a heaven here if used as God intend- ed they should be. The fall of man in some far-off garden down the ages will not be stressed, but the failure of men to recognize God at work revealing him- self to men today through many as- pects of ‘life will be stressed. The new church will work to save men for this life here and now. For if men are saved and live here and now a5 they should live, they will not have to worry about whether they will in- herit some future life in the great beyond. For a good and just God will reward his people with that life if we live in this life as we should. Many good people today are seek- ing to save people for that future life and are doing nothing to save this life and God’s marvels for the benefit of mankind here on this earth.

DEATH AND TAXES Sheldon, N. D:, Feb. 8, 1934. beer were legalized with the three cents a glass tax, he, DuPont, would save $10,000,000 in taxes on one of nis corporations, So in order that tney might shift their tax burdens to the shoulders of the men who drink, the millionaires poured in their money and made possible the floodtide of false propaganda that helped mate- tially to legalize beer and to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment. The administration gave out that when the Eighteenth Amendment was tepealed there would be a decrease in certain income and corporation taxes and that the two-cent federal tax on gasoline would be rescinded. It was evidently the intention to make repeal of the 18th amendment appeal strong- iy, not only to men of wealth but to every man who drives a car. What are the results? As soon as Congress legalized 3.2 beer, the bars were down m every state and beer flowed freely, even where state laws forbade its sale. Not only beer but hard liquors were sold, contrary to law. Immedi- ately crime began to mount and this country is now having such an orgy of Automobile accidents have increased to ® point where our fast becoming shambles. All this in the name of reduced taxes, increased Tevenue, and to balance the unbal- anceable budget. Thus death and taxes take thelr toll from rich and poor. Those who think that the increas- ed sale of liquor will permanently re- duce taxes and increase revenue, have not studied the history of the liquor traffic or of taxation. The increased sale of liquor means increased poverty and crime. Both crime and poverty multiply taxes. Prohibition reduced both the death rate and the tax rate. The rate of al- coholic deaths in the five wet years— 1913-1917, was 5.2 per 100,000 popula- tion. In the dry years, 1920-1930, it Whs 3.3 per 100,000 for the nation at large, but in the states that had re- pealed prohibition, the rate in 1930 was 6.2 per 100,000 population, prov- ing conclusively that it was prohibi- tion that had reduced the death rate. Counting reduction in the death rate from alcoholic diseases, in addition to holdups, killing, kidnaping and lynch- ing as we have never known before. alcoholism, it is estimated that the total number of lives saved by pro- highways are | 77! mo. from 1920 to 1932 was 1 The United States under prohibl- tion, paid less taxes per $1,000 income than any liquor selling country in the world.

And |I see no hope of the present Christian \church living ‘up to its high purpose. |The organizations and constitutions of the different branches of the church strangle God's truth. The hope of a real Christian church \for tomorrow is in those who do not attend church today, and in many cases despise the church for its lack of understanding of both human and devine aspects of life. The Christian church began with the social outcasts and down trodden of that time, and if there is to be a real Christian church again, it will probably be formed from \amohg the humble folks of this land, and the children who are in the grade school today. 7 The divisions and branches of the church mean nothing worth while to- day except a source of strife when jmention is made to do away with them. Many official members object because it might mean a loss of their Positions if there were a united church. You may ask are there signs of a new Christian church in the making? I would say, yes, there is. First the lack of growth, influence, and attendance of the average church is @ sign of @ crisis near at hand for the church.

Oyhot is this i Death and taxes are linked together as two things that are sure, inevitable and inescapable. There is a sense even more sinister in which they are joined together. Statisticians tell us that from 60 to 80 cents of every dol- lar paid for federal taxes go to pay for past wars and to prepare for future wars. At this time of economic dis- tress, which has reached the point where the government feels justified in compelling the people who have put their savings into gold to turn it in and accept for it about half the value—even at such a time as this, measures are going forward in Con- gress to apcropriate hundreds of mil- ions of doliars to build warships in preparation for the next war.
