Europe. There was not an intelligent tnsu on either side the ocean that did not fear for the result fl the throne passed frou wise and good old Emperor W lism 10 his inexperienced grandson. But when, under the medical treatment Of Dr. Mac kenzie, The Grown Prince took the throne, a wsve Of sats action aud confidence rolled over Chrlsiendom, what shall the World do with the doctor who saved his lifei .Oh," CT ed out the medical iealousies of kurope, destroy him; of eourse destroy him"
 What brutal scene of jealousy we had in this country when President Garfield lay dying There werr fathful physicians that sacrificed their other prabtice and sacrificed their hralth for all time and fidelity to that deathbed. Doctors Bllis and Hamilton and Agnew went through anxieties and tolls and fatigues such as none but God could ap- rreciste. Nothing pleased many Of the medi. cal profession. Ihe doetcfs in charge did nothing right. We who did not see the case knew better than those who agonizsd over 1t in the sick room Tor many weeks l, who never had anything worse than a run-round on my thumb, which seemed to me at the time was worthy all the attention of the en- tire medical fraternity, had my own ideas as 10 how the President ought to be treated. And fin proportion as physicians and laymen were ignorant of the case they were sure the treatment practced was mistake And when in port t-mortem the bullet dropped out
 
 VI hich 1t was supposed Co have been lodged, about two hundred thousand people shouted: "I told YOU SO" "Ihere, 1 knew it all the time" There are some doctors in sll cities who would rather have the patent die under the treatment of their own schools than have them get well under some other pathy.
 Yea; look at the clerical profession. l am sorry to say that In matters Of jealousy 1t is no better than other professions There are now in all denominations great many young elergymen who have a faculty for superior usefulness. But they arc kept down and kept back anI crip- pied by older ministers who look askancc at these rising evangests. They are snubbed. They are iostled. They are pstronizIngly ad- vlsed. IL is suggested to them that they had batter know tlieir place. If here and there one with more nerve and brain and conse- cratiou and divine force go past the seniors who want to keep the chief places, the young are advised iu the words of Scriptures" Tar Y at Jefico til their boards are gr0wn.n They are charged with sensati0uails lsm. They are compared to rockets that go up iu a blaze and come down sticks and the brewer. iiy Of their career is iubiantly prophesied If it be a denomination with bishops. q bish op Is implored to sit down heavily on the man who will not be moulded, CT ot deuomina- tion without bishops, some of the older men with nothing more than their own natural heaviness and theological avoirdupois are ad- vised to aatten out the inuovator. In con- ferences and presbyterles and associations and conventions there Is often seen the most damnoble iealonsy. Such ecclesiastical ty- rants would not admit that jealousy had any possession of them, and they take on heav- cnly air, and talk sweet oil and sugar plums and balm of a thousand flowers and roll up their eyes with an alr of unetuous sanctitv when they simply mean the destruction of those over whom they pray and snuiiie. There are cases where ministers of religion are derelict and criminal and they must be put out
 But in the majority of cases that 1 have witnessed in ecclesiastical trials there Is a jealous attempt to keep men from surpasslng their theological fellows. and as at the Presidential elections in country places the people have barbacue-which is roasted OK round which the people dapce with knives, cutting oF A slice here, and pulling out rib there, and saving of beefsteak wonder, and having a high tlme-so most of the denominations of Christ. fans keep on hand barbecue in which some minister Is roasted, while the church courts dance around with their sharp knives of at tack, and one takes an ear, another hand, another a foot, and it is hard 10 tell whether the eccles isslcal plaintffs of this world or the demons af the the neither world most enjoy it Albert Barnes. than whom no man has ac- eomplished more good in the last thousand years, was decreed to sit silent for year in the pew of his own church while some one

 Yes; and al professions and businesses and occupations and trades and amid all cir cles needs to bc heard what God says in re- gard 10 envy and jealousy, winch, though not exactly tne same arc twins Envy B rot tetihess 10 the lone;" Where enty aud strife is, there Is confusson and every evil #ff f@ hearers, If this evil passi is n any of your souls cry migbtily unto God for It's exDulsion. That which has dOwned kings and emperors and apostles aud reformers and ministers of religion and thousands Of good men and wom- en, is oo mighty for you to contend against uuafded. The evil has SO many roots, of such infinite cOnyDlution, that nothing but the en- ginery of omRipotenee can pull it out. Ira diticu aays tat wben Moses lifted up his hand to pray it was all enerusted with mama, and no sooner do you pray than you are helped Away with the accursed. stenchful, bhckening, daming crime of jeal- ousy. Allow 1t to stay and it will eat up and carry off all the religion you can pack Into your soul for the next halfcentury. It will do you more harm than 1t does any one 1t leads you to assail. It will delude you win the idea that you can build yourself up by pulling somebody else down. You will make more out of the success Of others than out of their misfortunes, Speak well of everyb body Stab no man in the back. Be honey bee rather than spideri be dove rather than buszard.
 Surely this world is large enough for you and all your rivals God has given you a work to do Go ahead and do 1t. Mind your own business In all circles, in all business In all professions there Is room for straight forward success. Jealousy entertained will not only bedwarf your soul but 1t will fatten your skull bemean your eye, put pinchedness of look about your nosril give bad curl to the lip and expel from your face the dcvine image in which you were created. When you hear man or woman abused, drive in on the defendants side. Watch for exeellences in otbers rather than for defects, morning glor les instead of nightshsdes If some one is more beautiful than you, thank God that you have not so many perils of vanity to contend with. If some one has more wealth than you, thank God that you have not SO great stew ardship to answer for If some one is higher up in social position, thank God that those who are down need Dot fear a fall. If some one gcts higher office in Church or State than you thank God there are not so many to wish for the hastenng on of your obseques
 The Duke Of Dantzing in luxurious apartments was visited by plain friend, and to keep his friend from jealousy, the Duke said: You can have all have 1T you will stand twenty paces of and let me shoot at you hundred times.n No, non said his friend. "Wel," said the Duke, Ito gain all my houors faced on the battle field more than a thousand gun. shots fired not more than ten paces of
 A minister of small congregation complained 10 a minister of large congregation about the sparseness of his attendants. "Ah,h said the one of large audience, "mv son, YOU will find in the Day of Judgment that you had quite enough people for whom to be held ac- countable"
 Substitute for jealousy an elevatlng emula- tion. Seeing others good, let us try to be better SeeiBg others industrious, let us work more hours. Seeing others benevolent, let us resolve on giving larger percentage of our means for charity. May God put con gratulatioas for others into our right hand and cheers on our lips for those who to brave and useful things. Life Is short at the long est; let 1t all be filed up with helplulness for others, work and sympathy for each others misfortunes, aud our arms be full of white nantes to cover up the mistakes and failures of others. If an eyil report about some one come to us. let us put on 1t most favorable construction, as the Rhone enters Lake Le- man foul and comes out erJ rJstalline. Do not build so much on the tTansitOry differences of this world, for soon It will make no diff ference to us whether we had ten million dollars or ten cents and the ashes into which the tongue of Demostheues dissolved are frlf ..f
