About tfour
Health
Thing! Ton Should Know
by John Joseph Gaines, M. D.’
Your Physician.
Pardon my reminding you of your
best friend. Yes, I am writing
•about your health." as well as your
best aids in maintaining it, your good
doctor ranking first.
There is something distinctive that
is tha family physician’s only; the
surgeon and the specialist may be
exp;rt in their lines of practice;
they do things for which the family
physician is not even prepared, and
should not attempt. But, I would
never select either for my family
physician. Their fields are too nar-
row—-too limited. I would summon
either, only on the advice of my
family doctor.
Your physician should be n broad,
well-read, general practitioner. If
that, he is far better posted in the
nngei
the
plaints, than the sun
upecialiiit. He has a far more exten
sive knowledge of the remedies need
ed for you than either. He will be
a more capable diagnostician in syste
matic disease; and, he will know when
you need a surgeon or specialist, bet
ter than .any one else.
Your family physician is indeed
an indispensihlp man in the com
munity. He looks after .sanitation,
and other community measures calcu
lated to prevent disease—to lessen his
chances for making a living. He is
alert in medical investigation and re
search knowing that he is working
him.-elf out of a job! Show me the
faddist, the cultist or the “path" that
isi even attempting to h a humani
tarian like that!
Finally, the family doctor is, to
a large extent, what his community
makis him: the idle, stupid, non-
progressive neighborhood will at
tract just that sort of a physician.
Prompt payment of bills often grows
you a more willing and efficient
health guardian.
| Our Lord, the author of Christian
ity, prayed all night before choosing
his twelve deciples.
And In connection with the in
structions given to his deciplea, He
commanded them to “pray the Lord
of the harvest that he would send
laborers into his harvest."
His final command to them was,
"tarry at Jerusalem."
Prayer w.xs prominent in the life
and labors of the early Christians.
Prayer has opened door*, closed to
the progress of the kingdom, and
prayer has supplied men and means
to enter them.
It is related that in 1851 there
was a spiritual crisis in Turkey—
Mohammed, the Sultan issued a de
cree ordering all missionaries out of
the empire, I)r. Hamlin said to Good-
dell. his fellow missionary, "Gooddeli,
our life-work is a failure at the very
start, for both British and American
consuls say the edict of expulsion
must prevail." and we must go at
once.” Gooddeli replied, "Hamlin,
the Sultan of heaven can change this;
let us appml to Him in player."
They opened the edict, spread it
before God, and began to pray; mid
night came and they prayed on. The
day broke while the two men still
remained in prayer that the calamity
might i»e averted. The edict was
never enforced. The destiny of
multitudes were powerfully influenc-
‘ d by that night of prayer. The two
who met in His name found a third
added to their little company. The
Sultan of heaven was there."
Christians today are entrusted
with a glorious mission md have the
responsibility of carrying the gospel
to the ends of the earth. Their su
preme need in performing this task
is prayer.
January and February constitute
the cultural period of the Southern
Methodist church for the develop
ment of the mission spirit. Prayer
should have a large place in this
programme. The membership of the
M. E. Church South, more than two
and one half million members are
united to raise one million dollars
“maintanancc fund.”
Thisi is greatly needed to continue
the work of our mission board, al
ready projected, if the church se
cures this amount it will largely be
in answer to prayer.
Let all our members give them
selves whole-heartedly to prayer for
this cause. A paragraph is Here
quoted from a recent article on
* “H is well therefore that our mis
sionary leaders have culled the
ehurch to intercessary prayer, in con
nection with our present cultural
period. During the Centenary it was
said, "when two million Methodists
go from their kne^s to any task, it
shall be done." Not les.-. powerful
will two and a half million Metho-
i he. Prayer is not a substitute
other things. It is a pow r in
itself. And an impetus toward
r things. If Southern Methodist

"I struggled to keep up, because I
had to, but many a time I spent
hours in bed, trying to force enough
strength to go through the daily

This condition went on for some
