Surgeon of the Charity Hospital of New
Orleans, has been Chairman of the Medical
Advisory Committee ever since tlio
old Medical Board was abolished. Ho
has with him as fine a corps of physicians
as can be found anywhere, somo
of whom were with the old Medical
Board and who refused to leave our
Hospital when some of said Medical
Board withdrew their patronage from
the Hospital. The report of last month
chows that 49 physicians had patients
in onv T-fnonlfn 1 /lnrlnw VmrAmTbla
number exceeds that of any similar
period In the history of the Institution.
The following comparative report of the
pathological department, prepared to
December 1st, 1912, as to the number of
patients being treated by the Hospital
1r: In 1912 the surgical examinations
. number 23S; In 1911 these were 230; In
, 1912 the bacteriological examinations
number 567 in 1911 these were 403; in
1912 the urinalysis examinations number
2,0C"i, In 1911 these were 1,311. The
.clinic for the poor during last October
broke all previous records, furnishing
uiearly 1,000 treatments free of all cost
- to the patients.
(3) No more pointed answer can bs
! Riven the fake reports concerning the
financial standing of the Hospital than
the explicit statement hereby made that
on the 2nd of December, 1912, the obligations
then falling due were, as heretofore,
promptly met, and that there is
now a large balance In bank to the Hospital's
credit.
Thus God is taking care of his own
and defending his glory. Because the
Presbyterian Hospital Is founded In
faith in Jesus Christ and Is brought to

inn in ti?uij [u aver, aim is ine constant
recipient of loyal service, Its future Is
assured. The need for such a Hospital
in New Orleans is simply overwhelming.
k To meet the pressure of these needs
we must soon have a modern fire-proof
- building. This will cost $250,000. We
also need increased charity wards. At
-. present we have a Charity Department
of'only three beds. These are the Weiss
Memorial Charitv Bed and the w r?
McKowcn. Memorial Ward, containing

humanity. While this Charity work Is
largely supplemented by the Woman's
Auxiliary of the Hospital, the demands
for such service are great and Increasing.
$10,000 will endow In perpetuity
such a Charity Bed. We need other donations
ranging from $5,000 to $2. The
former amount will name In perpetuity
a private room In the Hospital. $1,000
will purchase permanent equipment or
retire a bond. $100 will care for several
sick people for a week. $2 will purchase
an individual tea service.
Another important feature of the
Presbyterian Hospital Is its Training
School for Nurses. Through It 40 young
women are receiving a thorough scientific
training for a betutlful life work.
Two of those In training at present have

upon application to the superintendent,
furnish full Information about this
course to those who may desire it.
In conclusion, the earnest appeal Is
hereby sent forth to all who may read
these lines and who believe In God and
the coming of his kingdom to pray constantly
for the Presbyterian Hospital of
New Orleans. Of course, as long as it
remains loyal to the gospel, It will ba
traduced and attacked by those who, In
their hearts hate the Christ whose command
to "heal the sick" It Is striving to
obey. But with hts continued blessing
for which prayer must bo Insistently
ofTered, this work will forever be secure
and will, as heretofore, flourish and grow
strong through the very activities of Its
enemies.

Books I
The Rational Memory, by Rev. W. H.
Groves; second edition; The Cosmopolitan
Press, New York.
This has been pronounced by competent
critics to be the most satisfactory
as well as the moBt engaging work extant
on the subject of memory. Some
specialists have ordered the book In
quantities for distribution among friends
Interested In the study of psychology.
Mr. Groves has made a life study of
his subject and has combined In a logical
way that which he found to be good in
the results of his research. There is
much tbat is original in the author's
discussion and herein lies the chief value
of the volume. The style ' is lucid,
discriminating and pleasing. The pages
are packed with valuable information
and bristle with facts and citations like
the bayonets of an army of Invasion.
The Manward Side of Religion is an admirable
address delivered before the
Alumni Associatioh of Columbia Seminary
by Rev. Frank D. Jones.
It is in line with a general sentiment
that clamors for the solution of the
problem of getting the gospel in all its
richness, beautv and nower into the
evory day life of all the people, carrying
religion to the masses and engrafting
It on their characters and working It
Into their conscious being. It Is a great
task, but nothing less will meet the requirements
of our Lord's example and
the church's commission.
The Rnsselllfe Heresy of the Atonement
by Thomas D. Wesley, B. D., Is the
most complete refutation of Mlllenlal
Darwinism that we have yet seen.
The argument Is drawn almost entirely
from Scriptural sources and Is
formulated as a result of laborious and
scholarly research. This collation provides
a compendium of Bible doctrine
relative to the person and work of Christ
AN OF THE SOUTH
and of the Holy Spirit, and of man's
relation to redemption. The pamphlet
can be procured at the rate of ten cents
per copy by addressing The Wesley Publication,
Sharp's Wharf, Va.
Geins from Mother's Scrap Boob, by
Mrs. Wm. A. Campbell, and dedicated
to her children, is a volume of more
than 300 pages, consisting of choice
selections from a wide range of literary,
devotional, and miscellaneous
reading.
A large number of short poems are included,
many of them well known, and
many others are gems rescued from pos
sible oblivion. The compiler of these
selections began gathering the material
in early womanhood and continued the
accumulation of choice gleanings for
more than Bixty years. With the simple
implements of scissors and paste, guided
by excellent taste and rare discernment
of truth and beauty, this treasury of
thought has been acquired, and now appears
in permanent form. The volume
may be secured from The Presbyterian
Committee of Publication, Richmond,
Va. Price, $2.00.
The Gospel of the Llllies is an attractively
bound volume by our beloved
physician, soldier, pastor, evangelist
and author, Dr. Edward O.
Guerrant.
It is a series of concise, pointed, vigorous
messages founded on favorite passages
of Scripture. In the foreword wo
are tola tney nave Deen usea in tne conversion
of hundreds of people. Of the
many fine things said about the author
this is one of the best, by Dr. David
Gregg, pastor of the Lafayette Avenuo
Presbyterian church, Brooklyn. New
York: "Dr. Guerrant is a mighty man
of God. He mado the gospel a new
power in my life and in the lives of
many others. Put him into a crowd of
unconverted people and fhere will be
few go away unreached and unsaved."
These pages are pervaded by the evangelistic
spirit of their author. Sherman,

Catch-My-I'al. By Rev. R. J. Patterson.
Published by Geo. H. Doran Co.,
New York For sale by the Presbyterian
Committee of Publication, Richmond,
Va. Price, $1.00.
This Is the record of "Catc-My-Pal"
movement in behalf of temperance. It
was devised and started by the author
of this volume a little more than three
years ago. It grew out of his desire and
effort to help six drinking men whom he
met on the street one night. He realized
that the best way to help them was
to start them to helping others. In the
short time sinco It was started this
movement has swept like a great wave
over Ireland, where It began, and has
extended itself over all the United
Kingdom, and on Into many other countries
until hundreds of thousands of
drunkards have heen saved from the
selves had recently been drunkards. It
Is based upon the principle of seeking
his brother und bringing him to Jesus.
The story 1b well told and will prove
helpful and inspiring to every reader
who believes in freeing men from the
curse of drink.

???? A
ter acquainted with Dr. Miller as a man. w
His many friends and admirers will be
well repaid by reading of his life and
his work in many lives. One department
of this work which doubtless is not
familiar to most of those who have
known him through his delightful writings,
was his work as one of the leaders
of (he Christian Commission, the organization
which did so much for the
cpiritual welfare of the Northern soldicrB
during the Civil War. Though a
mere youth and not having finished his
college course, he showed himself a man
of streugth and power. When the war
closed he entered the seminary and then
followed a pastorate of about twelve
years. Then began the work that made
Hie world his parish, when he was called
to editorial work on the Sunday
school publications of the Northern Presbyterian
Church. During the thirty-two
years of this service the circulation of
these periodicals increased from nine to
eixty-Blx millions of copies a year. He
hud no superior, if any equal, as a
spiritually helpful commentator on the
Scripture lessons of the Sunday schools.
As a writer of devotional hooks he performed
his widcBt and most abiding
work for the comfort and upbuilding of
Christian people. Few books reach the
heart and stir the r-oul and uplift the
life as do his "llent Times," " Week-day
Religion," "Come \e Apart," ' The Hidden
Li!\" "By the Still Waters," "The
Ministry of t'cnu'o t ' and many others
familiar to thousand- of reader?. Sixtyeight
volumes devotional reading remain
as the product of his indefatigable
energy and as the expression of a heart
overflowing with love to God and man.
Mr. Paris has done Dr. Miller's admirers
a great service in giving to them this
picture of his life and work.
