In other words, the world wants divinely
directed physicians. There are a great
many such. The diplomas they received
from the academies of medicine were
nothing compared with the diploma they
received from the Head Physician of the

Men of the medical profession we often

We join each other In an attempt at solace
Whore the paroxysm of grief demands atl

any harrier to-day in order to greet each
other, for our professions nro In full sym¬
pathy. You, doctor, are our (Irst and last
earthly friend. Yon stand at. the gates of
life when we enter tills world and you stand

In the first place, T think all the medical
profession should become Christians bo¬
cause ot the debt of gratitude they owe to
God for the honor He has put upon their
calling. No other calling tn all the world,
except has it )>e that of the Christian ministry,
received so great an honor as yours.
Christ himself was not only preacher, but
physician .surgeon. nurist, ophthalmologist,
and under His mighty (lower optic and au-

and streets of Jerusalem an ex¬

American Kevolutiori welcomed Drs. Mercer

army was entirely demoralized by fear of
tlm plague the leading surgeon of that
army inoculated himself wit h the plague to
show the soldiers there was no contagion
in it, and thejr courage ro£<r>, and they went
on to the conflict. God 1ms honored this
profession all tho way through. Oh, the
advancement from the days when Hippo-
crates tried to cure tlie great Pericles with
hellebore and flaxseed poultices down to
far later centuries when Halier announced
the theory of respiration, and Harvey the

though it be I he very triumph of and
plinth and abacus. But how many annoy*
ancftH and trials tho medical profession
have! Dr. Rush used to gay in his vah-dle
lory address to the students of the medical
college; “Young gentlemen, have two pock¬
ets -a small pocket and a big pocket; a
small pocket in which to put your fees, a
largo pocket in which to put your annoy¬
ances.”
In the first place the physician has no
Sabbath. Busy 'merchants and lawyers
and moehaniftH e/innot afford to be sb»k
during the secular week, and so they nurse
themselves along with lozenges and here-
hound candy until Sabbath morning comes,
and Mien they nay, "f must have a doctor.”
And that spoils the Sabbath morning church
service for the pjiysieian. Besides that,
there area grant many men who dine Van
once a week with their families. During
tho secular days they take a hasty lunch at
the restaurant, and on the Sabbath they
make up for their six days’ abstinence by
especial gormandizing, which, before
night, makes their amazed digestive or¬
gans cry out for a doctor. And tluit spoils
tho evening church service for the phys¬
ician.

Then there nro many who always

unto all men once to die.” The father in

was less than half a century for him. Oh,

skeins so incoherent for a restored patient,
with ruddy checks and rotund form, to he
bothered with a bill charging him for old
calomel and Jalap. The physicians of this
country do more missionary work without

Special efforts will be made to obtain the

Mr. Wilson does not expect that the dis¬

rarer kinds will be substituted for common
ones.

It is an odd theory, yet no doubt the
correct one, that the coast area of Ku-
rope has probably had more to do with
the commercial and social supremacy
() f that continent than any other cause.
Investigation will show that Burov
has a mile of coast for every 164 sn
miles of Its land area, while they
