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 universe said on the to thorn. day when “Go heai they started ami out and He tin, slek east out the devils of pain and open the blind eyes and unstop the deaf ears." God PPVs.h the doctors all the world over, ami let all the hospitals and dispensaries and in- flrmaries and asylums and domestic circles of the earth respond, "Amen.” Men of the medical profession we often meet, in the. home of distress. We shake hands across the table of agonised infancy. We join each other In an attempt at solace Whore the paroxysm of grief demands atl anodyne as well as a prayer. We look into bach other’s .sympathetic' faces through the dusk as the night of death is falling in tho Sick room. We do not have to climb ovor 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 at the gates of death when we go nut of It. In the closing moments of our earthly exist¬ ence, when the hand of I In, wife or mother, or sister or daughter shall hold 7»tr right baud, it will give strength to our dying mo¬ ments If we can feel the tips of youi* lingers along the pulse of the left wrist. We do not meet to-day, as on other days, In houses of distress, but by the pleasant altars of God, and I propose a sermon of helpfulness and good cheer. As in the nursery children sometimes re-enact all the scenes of the sick room, so to-day yon play that yon nro the patient and that f am tho physician, and take my prescription just once. It shall he a tonic, a sedative, a dietetic, a disinfect¬ ant, a stimulus and an anodyne at the same time. "Is there not balm‘ in Gilead? is there not a physician there?” 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- dltory catalepsy nerve thrilled with light and sound, and arose from its III, and the clubfoot was straightened, and anchylosis went out of the stiffened tendons, and the foaming the maniac became, placid became as a child, and streets of Jerusalem an ex¬ temporized hospital crowded with eon- valescent victims of casualty and Invalid¬ ism. All ages have woven the garland for the doctor’s brow. Homer said: A vvls,, Pbyslelau, skilled our wounds to Is more than armies to the public weal. Cicero said, I hen- is nothing in which men so approach the gods as when they try to give health to other men.” Charles JX. made proclamation that all the Protestants in I'ranee should be put to death on. Kt. Bartholomew h day, but made one cxcep- !!’ case of Pare, the father of » reneh surgery. The battlefields of the American Kevolutiori welcomed Drs. Mercer and Warren and Itush. When the French 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 circulation of the blood, and Ascelithe uses of the lymphatic vessels, and Jenner balked the worst disease that ever scourged Lu- rope, and Sydenham developed the re- euperatfvo forces of the physical organism, and cinchona bark stopped the shivering agues of the world, and Hir Astiey Hooper and Abernethy, and and Valentine Hosack Mott, and iiomeyn, and Grissom of tho fought generation just death past, with their honored keen God scalpels, and back It we who arc laymen the in medicine would understand what medical profession has accomplished for where tho insane, let us look into the dungeons the poor creatures used to he incarcerated madmen chained naked to the wall,a kennel of rotten straw thejr only sleeping place, room unven- tBated and unlighted, the worst calamity of the race punished with the very worst punishrm-nt and then come and look at the insane asylums of LUea and Kirkbride sofaed and pictured, iifjraried, concerted, until all the arts and adornments come to coax recreant reason to assume her throne.

How often they have stood between this nation and Asiatic cholera and the yellow fever.

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.

The last bill that is paid, is the doctor’s bill. It 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 charge than ail the other professionals put together.
