Religion and the Selfish Heart
In Lisbon, Ohio, December 3, a man by the name of Webber shot his bride of four weeks, on the threshold of the Disciples Church, saying, "She chose between her religion and me." He then killed himself. If the bride had been a communicant of some small, unpopular church, the whole blame would have been laid at the door of that church. Of course, it was not the church at all; the cause was the selfishness of the human heart. If the man had had good sense he would have known that if his wife was a true Christian, she would make a great deal better wife than tho she were not.
