visiting the Sick.

= Visiting the sick and ministering. to the
wants of the poor are among the Christian
duties enjoyed by the New Testament. But
like other duties, should be performed with
reason and common sense. Discretion is
applicable to Christians as to. other peo-
pie.
One of my neighbors is sick, very sick.
He is an old citizen and an old man, and of
course having friends who take an interest
in his welfare. Yesterday being Sunday,
he was visited. 1 think, by about one hun
dred persons. These visitors were of
course we'll meaning and friendly, believing
it their duty to ''visit the sick" But did
these sympathetic persons. or any of them.
imagine the injury likely to occur to their
sick friend? Each of these persons proba-
bly, believed it his duty to take the sick
man by the hand, and inquire infinitely
an exercise that well man would not will
ingly undergo. A little common sense
would dictate that a sick person requires
rest, and should not be unnecessarily dis
turbed. Quiet to him is absolutely neces-
sary to his well being and recovery. Shall
we unthoughtedIy, by our friendly'impru-
dence and honest solicitude for a sick
friend, thwart the labors of his physician,
and endanger the life of the patient? We
do not mean that this shall be the result OF
our kind feelings, but not often the
case?
How many of US misapprehend our duty
to the sick and to the family? Can we not
learn to minister to the: wants of the sick
and the family, without arousing and dis,
turbing the patient? Let US learn through
others the condition and wants of the sick
and supply such wants. Let US do tc
others as we would have them do to us
The French practice is superior to ours
Where the attending physician has al
adult patient, he allows no one to see the
sick, save the near relatives and the clergy
man. A book is III the reception room, il
which an hourly report of the condition O
the patient is recorded. Under these re
ports, visitors and friends record thei
names and retire. The patient is al
lowed to remain undisturbed and rest IL
quiet.
Shall we not improve in our treatment o
the sick? Surely there is room.
