but is proving educaiise a. well a. a means
Of growth in the Christian graces.
The programme was varied a ligtle yes
ieiday morning and the early morning
meeting was general one in the pavilion.
Dr. j. II kellogg, physician-in chief of the
sa.taIium At Battle Greek, occupied the
desk and gave lecture on Health Re-
form, 10 large audience. The Doctor Is
very earnest in advocating the claiu tha, TO
care properly for our physical health is an
important Christian duty, aud he proves
his points most conc.usively. In his adj
dress he dwelt principally upon the neces-
sIty of reloral in our habits Of living, espec-
tally in the IN stters Of food, and the
conditions Of our residence ana their sur
rOundings. The importance that God at
tacbes 10 the question OF diet may be seen
gives a bill of fare, and the Doctor was in
ciined 10 think that if very many bills of
fare of the present Say were compared with
that, Il would be seen that a wide departure
has been made. Reference was then made
to the regulations in force with the children
of Israel anciently with regard 10 the sani
tarv condition of their residences Ii was
then Customary the custom was hy
direct instruction from God-to for
bid the occupancy of dwellings
that were IN an unsanitary
condition until they should be properly
cleansed or iisinfected, and if it was found
impossible TO put them in proper condition
they were torn down. The Doctor is under
he impression that were this rule followed
at the present time. very many residences
would 6e vacated and not a few torn down.
The speaker then proceeded 10 compute
the case of sickness and death, from q
financial standpoint, and the demonstration
was very conclusive that sickness does not
pay. lie is OF the opinion that a large pro-
portion of the sickness that people
experience is entirely unnecessary,
and, in fact quite criminal. The
death rate is far too high. and as
Christians we should set about
the work of lowering it. Again, very much
of the crime and wickedness in the world is

prevail. There is more crime in loaf of
sour. unwholesome br, ad than most people
are aware Of
The address was a most valuable one,
aud forcibiy impressed the hearers that IL is
necessary to connect their religion with
their eyerg dsy lives. their habits customs
and surroundings
Att O'Clock Dr. kellogg addressed the
children upon the suhject of how to care
for their bodies 50 as 20 keep them in
healthful condition. His address was pro-
fusely illustrated by a series of finely gotten
up charts, showing the different organs of
the body. The Doctor knows Just how TO
talk 10 children to instruct and educate
them.
At $50 he delivered another lecture to the
grown people, on the subject OF proper ven
tilation of residences. By ;he use of charts
and other appliances he made his lecture
doubly interesting and valuable Ii was
such a lecture as should be heard by every
body, and as the price Of popular scientific
lectures goes, was worth an admission zee
of several dollars.
One leading purpose Of the Sanitarium,
which DR.. Kellogg stands at the head of, is
to teach people how 10 live so as 10
est Sanitarium in the world. and
annually treats many hundreds of patients.

the mot improved methods The doctor is
editor-in. chief of Coed Health, a most vglu.
able magazine. every number Of which is
worth a whole years subscription.
