In a Sick Room.

Never stand at the foot of sick bed
and survey the patient. All figures loom
large to fevered eyes, and by the side of
the bed are only partly seen, and do not
annoy with the sense of too much pres
ence. Do not open the door very slowly.
for then the attention is strained, spec1-
lating as to who the next conner can DOS
sibly be after all this preparation and
with such cautious approach, generally
creaking. Low but clear tones, quiet
but sure movements (not tip-toeing), and
rapid rather than slow, are great relief
to any patient who is blessed with
practical nurse. Whispering is torture.
Silence is best until you can discuss mat
ters in another room but if you must
speak, speak out, and make no mysteries
about anything. In severe illness the
nurse must watch her patient steadily
but not seem to be looking. In conva-

apparently looking out. This frees the
faculties from the tension that the sense
of being watched usually gives and also
quiets anxiety. If the nurse does not
seem to be anxious, many patient will

What Christ is to Us.

We are condemned and killed by the
law, but by Christ we are justified and
restored to life. The law astonisheth us
and driveth us from God but Christ
reconcileth us TO God and maketh for us
an entrance, that we may boldly come to
him. For he is the Lamb Of God that
taketh away the sin Of the world. Now,
if the sin Of the world be taken away,
then it is taken away from us also which
do believe in him. If sin be taken away,
then is the wrath Of God, death and
damnation taken away also. And in
place Of sin succeedeth righteousness ;
in place Of wrath, reconciliation and
grace; in place Of death, life in place Of

Taking God at His Word.

we were having promise
Well, why not? Isn't it good plan,
once In while, when faith has grown
weak because iniquity abounds and world
illness has taken too strong hold on us
ere we are aware, is it not good plan to
call to each others remembrance the
great and precious promises which run
like an undertone of sweet music all the
way through the blessed book, from Gen
esis to Revelation? 1t is a good plan.
1t brings to our mind half forgotten
promises that increase our faith, drives
back the worldliness which makes us
often so half-hearted in the Masters SER
vice, and for the hour we are in Beulah-
land, and fully determined in our heart
Of hearts that we will never go down into
the Valley of Humiliation again. And I
wish we never might; but so long as men
and women are mortals, and not saints
or angels, so long, suppose, we shall,
some of us at least, keep on being "care-
tul about serving and taking thought
for the morrow" bearing burdens which
we might cast on Him who has so often
promised to bear them for us. And
sometimes think the wise, the strong, and
the preposterous do it more than those
who are weak, Ignorant, and afflicted. A
prominent leader in religious gatherings
told us this bit from his own experience
which had shamed him, and I doubt not
shamed some of us.
Said he, Away upon bleak New
England hillside, two miles from any
where in particular, lived feeble old
man, and on his ninety-second birthday
| took pains to go up there and make
him birthday call. The way was lone
ly and rough, and the poor hut he called
home was bare and comfortless, for by
some legal bubble he had been wronged
out OF the property he had accumulated
for support in his old age But 1 found
him cheerful and happy, glad to see me
and very social We talked over the
past, and he told me all about his trou-
bles, and the way he came to lose his
property.
thinking l must give him some comfort
: suppose through all this the Lord Je-
sus has visited you often.
Visited me ! the old man said, his
dim eyes lighting up. What do you
mean? Why, tell. you he makes it his
home here 7
l must confess, my friends, I felt
small. / hadn't made much of fist in
my job Of comforting. The old mans
Astounding faith shamed me-"
Our promise meeting was livelier one
after that, am sure. Perhaps not more
to appearance, for it was live meeting
before, but am sure it set many of us to
thinking more deeply. For my own
part, | picked up this verse Of golden
promises, eff man love me he will keep
my words, and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him and make
our abode with him"
To crown it added this one still more
emphatic, Lo, I am with you always"
And l fastened them together with this
most comforting of all, "The Lord is not
slack concerning his promises"

The Messrs. Scribner deserve the thanks of
all the lovers of the Reformation and the adj
mirers. of the great Reformer for bringing out
this translation of Kostlins valuable biography
of Luther. The work has received commepda-
ton on all sides, and is of special interest at this
moment when renewed attention has been
called to the period which is the most impor-
tant in the history of Europe since the introduc
ton of the Christian religion 1t is of vital
moment to go back again to the study of that
great movement when prelates and priests in
the Church OF England are lamenting the step
which led to the creation of that Church as a
mistake.
This edition contains all the wood-cuts given
In the German edition. facsimiles of important
and interesting documents and reproductions OF
numerous rare portraits of Luther, his wife, and
friends. Professor Kostlin has been engaged in
researches on the life and times of Luther for
many years, it being twenty years since he pub
lished Luther's Theology and its Historical De
velopment. James Anthony Froude remarks
"At last we have life of Luther which de-
serves the name"
The American publishers have given us all
that could be desired in the mechanical execu-
ton of the work.

The Democrats of New York State, who
were opposed to Cleveland's nomination,
put in circulation all sorts ofstorles against
him, both before and during tho convention
which nominated him. One of his bitter
est assailauts among the Democratic papers
of New York was tho Rochester Uaion
edited and owned by Colonel Purcell one
of the most influential Democratic leaders
of the State. Mr.. Purcell charged, before
the convention, that Governor Cleveland
kept a mistress, who is established by him
in a village in the Holland Patent, near
Albany. Purcell says that Governor c..
has more than one child by this woman,
all illegitimate and unrecognized ny him
This information was obtained by John
Mclean at Chicago and was telegraphod to
his paper, the Cincinnati Enquirer. The

Gratis, and they alone arc responsible for it,

The Danger OF Raiir0nd Collisions
Here.

Tho fatal collision of trains on tho Baltt.
more 4 ohio Railroad Saturday night was tho
result OF culpablo negligence on tho part OF
some one, and as usual in such cases there arc
various theorIes advanced as to whero the
blame beIonra. The railroad authorities are
primarily responsible, OF course, but there are
certain responeibili,ies which attach To tho
District authorities in not exerclsing
the control, given them by law,
over the running of trains through the
city, and In failing to prosecute, or
even attempt to prosecute, the most nagrant
and outrageous violations Of law by this road
and the Baltimore & Potomac In running
their trains at ratio Of speed Ave times that
allowed by law.
AS stated In Saturdays CRITIC, the District
Commissioners wrote letter to Mr.. John O.
Click, stating that he need have no more up.
prehension, as the trains on the d. & o. road
would be run according to law. This letter
was in answer to numerously y.signed petl.
tion, asking the Commissioners to Interfere
and prevent the railroad company from run.
Ing their trains at lightning speed on First
street and other streets in Northeast Wash.
ington 10 tho great danger OF the Inhabitants,
Almost before the ink was dry on the paper
and before Mr.. Click received It, this terrible
smash-up occurred not ton yards from his
door, and he will receive the Iettor by mail
this morning informing him that he Will not
be annoyed again and the trains Will bo run
according to law. Now, according TO law
means four miles an hour, which Is a lower
rate OF speed than that of tho street-cars.
1t does not take an expert In the matter OF
judging the rate OF speed of an object to see
that these trains run faster than stroet-cars
or faster than n man can walk, but the fact Is
that they often attain the rate OF sixteen and
twenty miles an hour in tho city limits. This
is punishable by special statute, to which Is
| attached q penalty.
Notwithstanding all this there has never
been prosecution instituted against q rail-
road in this city, although there has been long
and bitter complaints against them, and the
police stand quietly by and do not interfere,
but take the good citizens before Judge Smell
and have them severely fined for driving their
horses at half the rate OF speed the railroads
| run their trains.
| The question naturally arises, Why 10 the
| authorities not prosecute the corporations as
they do private individuals, or are they afraid
