One month, One y One UDGE LANDIS, of Chicago, the same who required John. D. Rocke- feller to come to court and testify, has delivered a judicial opinion con- cerning Satan. A mihister’s son, carrying out the tradition that min- isters’ sons are Satan’s. special prey, had forged a money order and pleaded guilty In Judge Landis’s court. _ His father interceded’ for been a good son and that when he committed this crime “he must have 4been in the hands of the devil.” The Judge was lenient in his sentence and_imposed-a-fine payable in installments instead of imprisonment. Then he delivered a short opinion correcting the clergyman-father's : “Don't you get it into your head, young man, that the devit was re- sponsible for your predicament. It was your fault and not Satan’s. /Don’t try to shift the blame.” = Fathers, and especially mothers, are too prone to attribute the’ wrongdoing of their children to _ Some satanic influence beyond pa- rental discipline and human con- trol: Forgetful of the temptations of their own youth and overlooking the constant tendency of ordinary human nature to yield to the im- pulses of carnal appetites, the friends and family of erring young men and young women seek fot an _ Everybody is his own Satan, }- ~ Just-a3 whatever angelic possibili- ties there are in human beings dwell <seithin their own natures. The impulse to do wrong and the knowl- edge that it is wrong to yield to such impulses are inherent and instinc- tive. The refinements of casuistry come in after life. A child's sense of justice s perfect. A child’s sense of right and wrong is as pellucid as the waters of a\ crystal spring flowing from unpolluted rock. , Apologies and excuses for wrongdoing are a sign of age, of being Grown up. They are the refuge which men and women construct for themselves to-excuse their own failings. For this and other reasons a most. valuable lesson to teach all chil- Gren ts that the punishment for sin is certain. A child’s first tangible - — knowledge of the affairs of this earth is in the concrete application of nature's laws. The child speed- ily learns that fire burns and that to come fn contact with flame brings instant pain. The child learns that eating indigestibte food~brings-pun= ishment, that a fall causes_bruises, that the law of gravity is inexorable, therefore edged tools are dangerous. facts as these are instantly child's—mind—which—has_not_learned_to quibble or evade. The broader lesson should equally be early taught that the break- Ing of any natural law brings inevitable punishment: The law against theft is as natural and instinctive as against fire. A child’s property » sense is intuitive. The smallest baby knows what toys are his own. ‘property rights 1s always early “The —-clergyman’s boy —who forged a money order’ must have had bask" oF this’ act a series of similar acts.
