Ise Criticizes Human Race
(Continued from rage 1.)
He mentioned a survey revealed three times as many Englishmen as Americans read books, "which places us somewhere between the British and the baboons, which read no books, and rather closer to the baboons."
He said that man is the only animal with a moral sense, and presumably—the only animal with a sense of pity.
Man Kills For Pleasure
"The predator animals kill for food, usually quickly; man has often taken pleasure in ghastly and prolonged torture. The Assyrians skinned prisoners alive, the Carthaginians burned children alive in the red hot mouth of an idol — a religious ceremony as I remember it."
He mentioned the bible story of King David destroying the city of Rabbbah, his troops killing and cutting people "with saws and with barrows of iron and with axes"... no doubt after careful thought as to whether that was the right thing to do.
Then Prof. Ise reviewed the tortures of Europe—the Spanish Inquisition and the hunting of witches.
"That was all done so that finally everybody would love everybody else as his brother."
Animals Are Gentlemen Prof. Ise asked about the behavior of animals during this period. Ignorant animals as they were, they left no records, but I am sure

that they burned no witches or sorcerers or heretics and tortured no one. By comparison with the men of Europe, they behaved like gentlemen, really like Christians."
He said that only a few animals, like man, kill for the sheer joy of killing, and that man is said to be the only animal that has a soul.
"I know little about souls for they are outside the limits of my professional competence. I can only judge them from behavior."
He said that while some persons have great and beautiful souls, most men have souls that are surely "small, under-weight, tough, warped and shriveled.
"But we need not guess about this for we have scriptural proof as to the poor quality of most souls. Wide is the way that leads to destruction
and many there are that go therein'—those are the B and C grade souls. Even a merciful God has no use for them."
