CLINTON AND CHESTER
^lie following editorial paragraph fined within
from The Chester Reporter of dungeon.
Does it require privation, duress,'
suffering, to bring out the very best'
within the human soul ? There are
those that seem to think so—but it is j
not the truth. Solitary confinement
may i^nd surcease in active mental oc-
cupatnin;* but the human mind works
best in an atmosphere of absolute
freedom and content.
One of the niost brilliant writers I
know of, who is blessing people ev-
ersTwhere with his superb talent to
day, has never, to my knowledge,
kqown misfortune. He is wealthy, his
mental poise perfect, his standing en
viable. He is at his best in every par
ticular, and could not be improved by
any prison, or by the loss of any one
of his five senses. Away with the
heathenish superstition that bitter
duress sweetens the singing in God’s
kingdom! —>
