DON'T FORGET the SICK
BY ETHEL c. GALE.

"Sick and in prison" Does it ever
occur to those fortunate ones, who, if not
always perfectly we'll, can at least "gird
themselves and GO whittier they will, "
that if one is sick one is virtually in
prison also ? that no torture of the rack
or screw can be much worse to bear than
the fortunes of pain and weakness and
that no letters are heavier than the wea-
rying mOnOtOny of days and nights spent
in one room, shut in from new faces,
hearing no new voices, seeing no new
sight, breathing no new air, hearing no
new thing.
1t is not easy TO obey the injunction
of our heading, not to forget these sick
ones. They are out of our daily path,
and do not by acute suffering demand
our sympathetic exertions. If we call
upon them and they are not able to see
US, we are apt to think that they desire
nothing of us and, while wondering a
little at their whimsical taste for soil
tude. pass on our way somewhat relieve,
If the truth must be told-at finding
or thinking that we find, that nothin
more is required of us.
Out of sight is out of mind, and
will require an effort for US to remem
| Der the sick whom we do not see. Blu
let US make this effort as we would max
an effort to do any other deed of Chris
tian charity.
If we remember the sick, it is an cas-
thing to show them that we do so.

Every morning, precisely at eight
o'clock, the chief operators at the CEN

thousands of offices all over the land,
each faithful operator along the lines
touching the magic key in response, and
flashes back to the chief the words, "At

different answers are received. When,
for instance, storm has ragged in certain
localities, and has blown down the poles
and wires, the nearest Office to the dis
aster so informs the home Office, and
workmen are at once dispatched to re-
pair the damage done. Many Offices
send answers when it is too late, whilst
others send no answers at all, and the
operators therein are either reprmanded
or dismissed for the neglect. Once |
