Why Do People KILL THEMSELVES? - Leslie L McCullough - September 1963

Leslie L McCullough

Millions are vainly searching for success, happiness and the answer to life's problems. When it doesn't come, thousands are seeking escape by taking their own lives. The FIFTH ranking cause of death in the United States, between the ages of 15 and 50, is suicide. But is suicide the answer? Verdict - SUICIDE! Once every TWO AND ONE-HALF MINUTES, every single day, someone in the United States attempts to take his own life. Once every TWENTY-SIX MINUTES, day in and day out, SOMEONE SUCCEEDS! WHY? Why is it with so much to live for, so MANY are not willing to live their lives out? Newspapers are continually proclaiming how some daring individual, at the risk of his life, has managed to escape from one of the Iron Curtain countries to freedom. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
