Look at the sacred and Heaven descended
science Of healing, and then see DR.. Mac
xenz,e, the English surgeon who prolonged
the life Of the Crown Prince Of Germany
until he became Emperor, and, hope, may
yet cure him, SO that he may for many
years govern that magnificent German ns-
ton, thar which there is no grander. Yet
so great are the medical jealousies that DR..
Mackenzie dare not walk the streets OF
Berlin. He - under military guard. The
medical students Of Germany can hardly
keep their hands OF Of him. The old doc
tors Of Germany arc writing with indigns

The fact Is that in saving Trederick's life
DR.. Mackenzie saved the peace Of Europe.
There was not m intelligent man on either
side the ocean that did not fear for the re-
suit II the throne passed from wise and
good old Emperor William to his inexperi-
cuced grandson. But when, under the
medical treatment Of DR.. Mackenzie, the
Crown Prince Frederick took the throne. .

What brutal scene Of jealousy we had
In this country when President Garfield
lay dying. There were faithful physicians
that sacrificed their other practice and
sacrificed their health for all time in 6dei-
lty to that death bed. Drs. Bliss and Ham,
ilton and Agnew went through anxieties
aud tolls and fstigues such rs none but
God could appreciate. Nothing pleased
many Of the medical profession. The doc
tors in charge did nothing right. We who
did not see the case knew better than those
who agonixed over 1t in the sick room for
many weeks. ], who never had any thing
worse than Q run-round on my thumb,
which seemed to me ct the time was worthy
oil the attention Of the entire medical
fraternity, had my own ideas as to how the
President ought to be treated. And in pro-
portion as physicians and laymen were ig-
nofant of the case they were sure the
treatment practiced was q mistake. And
when in postmortem the bullet dropped
out Of q different part Of the BODY from
that in which it was supposed to have been
lodged, about two hundred thousand peo-
pie shouted II told you So" There, ]
knew it all the time" There are some doc
tors in all cities who would rather have the
patient die under the treatment Of their
own schools than have them get we'll under
some other pathy.
Yea; look at the clerical profession.
am sorry to say that in matters Of Jealousy
1t is no better than other professions.
There arc now in all denominations great
many young clergymen who hsve fac.
ulty for superior usefulness But they are
kept down and kept back and crippled BY
ministers who look askance at these rising
evangelists. They are snubbed. They are
jostled. They are patron,sngly advised. 1t
is suggested to them that they had
better know their place. II here and
there one with moro nerve and brain
and conservation and divine force goes
past the seniors who want to keep the
chief places the young are advised
in the words Of Scriptures: 'Tarry ut
Jericho till their boards are grown" They
are charged with senSatioualism. They
are compared to rockets that 70 mp in .
blaze and come down sticks, and the brevi-
ty Of their career 10 jublantly prophesied.

nomination without bishops, some Of the
older men with nothing moro than their own
natural heaviness and the theological av-
oirdupois arc advised TO hatten out the in
novator. In conferences and presbyteries
and associations and conventions there is
often seen the most dSmnabie jealousy.
Such ecclesiastical tyrants would not ad-
init that jealousy had any possession Of
them, and they would take on heavenly
air and talk sweet oil and sugar plums and
balm Of = thousand flowers, and roll up
their eyes with An air of unctuous ssnctity
when they simply mean the destruction Of
those over whom they pray and suufle.
There are cases where ministers Of relig-
ion are derelict and criminal and they must
DO put cut. But in tho majority Of cases
that I have witnessed in ecclesiastical
trials there is = jealous attempt to keep
men from passing their theological fellows,
and, as at the Presidential elections in
country places, the people have barbecue

people dance with knives, cutting OF
