SOME MINISTERS have been holding
conference in Philadelphia on the
subject of temperance. They resolved
that it was the duty OF the gospel
teachers TO try and prevent intoxica-
ton. PROFESSIONALLY that is one of
the duties of ministers, who have it
in their power, il they only knew
how to direct their efforts, to check
intemperance, ard do more good in
the cause than any other class OF
persons. In view of the growing evil
of rum-drinking In American society,
there is heavy responsibility
weighing upon tins American clergy
man. The morals of society are in
their keeping, but it does NOS speak
well for the management of the trust
when it is said that the consumption
of liq uor is increasing faster than che
population. Ifit would not beregarded
rs almost sacTeligious, it might be
asked if growing class OF clelgymen
we're not actually melting people to
drink rather than lettering them
from it. We all know that excite
ment and strong drink 60 together.
The former is very apt to encourage
the latter. Instead of lesdins
society, marking out paths for it to
pursue, and telling it how to walk
therein are not many OF the preachers
in the rear, following in the wake OF
society, and pursuing the roads
travelled by it? Instead OF trying to
quiet excitement and still the social
tempests, are not other ministers pur-
suing the course that not only inteR-
sites and heigbtens excitements and
social tempests. but actually starting
them? Does one of Mr.. Beecher' Is
political sermons make a lis
tener feel like going home
and enjoying a quiet Sabbath.
OF getting out and having a political
discussion and drink or twoH Would
one of Mr.. TaImage's rat:ling, roll
licking, jolly discourses fit mans
mind for reflection upon sacred
things, or suggest an afternoons
sport, and the necessary liquor to
keep up the excitement? Ministers
will hardly put stop to intemper-
ance by sensational preaching, nor
help the cause Of temperance by the
pulpit antics and anything but pious
discourses which they are making so
popular. But this is not the only
thing which stands in the way OF gen.
eral and vigorous work on the part of
olerGymen against rum. The ministers
derive good share of their pay from
liquor dealers, and those interested in
the business, hence the preachers,
and especially those who t-v to keep
on the popular wave, even at the cost
OF religion, are not anxious to pro-
claim loudly against persons who
might shorten the grass in their pas
tuzes. The ministers msy well think
il is time to confer as TO the best
method for combating iutemperance,
as the public has the right to look to
the preachers for reiormsGOry meas.
ures as to morals; but the clergymen
will do better work if they will re.orm
their style Of preaching, introducing
less sensationslism and exciting ele.
ments into their discourses.

Bagdad Is noted for mysterious malady
which affects everybody 10 the city, wheth-
er a citizen or stranger u is a sore, and
is called "date mark, because after it
has passed away il leaves an indelible
mark about the size aud shape Of date.
Il generally comes nponthe face, and lasts
year, and then goes away. The scar is
just skin deep. II appears as If the sur
face had been scared away with eaustie or
hot iron, and Il by no means enhances
the beauty Of the victim. With tho ma
tiges, the sore gcnenlly comes in child
hood, and then il commonly settles upon
the face. The cheek Of nearly every man
and woman brought up in Bagdad shows
the unmistakablo mark Sometimes it
settles on the nose, aad then the disfgure.
ment Is considerable. Sometimes on the
eyelid, and blindness is generally the re.
suit. Strangers arc attacked even after
very brief residence; but if they be adults,
they get the sore on the arm or wrist. 1t
Is more painful there than on the cheek,
but OF course, there is no Disagreement.
In every case the attack runs its course for
year. No treatment, no ointment or
medicine, has the slightest effect upon it.
Once the sore makes its appearance, the
sufferer knows what TO expect, and he ulay
az well resign himself philosophically to
all it involves.
The Arabs say that every one that goes
to Bagdad must get the "date-mark;h if
he does not get it while in the city, he will
get it after be leaves; and If he does not
get i while alive, he will get it after he is
dead; II is not to be avoided. The vista.
tiou Is not as rule painful, unless it hap
pens to tx upon spot above joint or a
muscle frequently brought into exercise.
The irritation oceasioned by movement oI
the affected part is often considerable, and
gives rise to a good deal Of suffering. The
general health is little, IL at all, disturbed
in ordinary cases. The children play
about the narrow streets, aud make mud
pies quite joyously, with great ulcers, the
size OF crown-pieee, on their little cheeks
IL gives them no concern that they are be
ing marked and perhaps dis6gured for life
aud OF pain they feel nothing. When
little later on | stopped at Mardin / had
the pleasure Of making the Acquaintance
Of Dr. Thorn Of the American Mission il
that town, and he told me that he had ex
amined the ulcer under microscope, an,
found tito be composed of fungoid growth
but nothing that he had ever tried har
been able TO arrest or modify its usua
course. He had applied distilled nitri
acid without producing more than tempo
rary effect. An application of iodine wa
just as inefheaoious. He was attacks
himself, a large "datO-mark" forming o
his forehead, and apparently eating throug
the skin to the bone, but nothing that
could think Of was Of the least use.

pride themselves on the shape Of their
