GUY IS yet TO be exarpated ask master
builders u aat they think of each others
houses, and Ue~cnapts what their opinion
is of merchants In tee same lire of busi-
ness in the same stree. aud ask doctors
" hat they thinjs Of doe ors, and lawyers
what they think of lawyers, and ministers
what taer thick of ministers, and artists
what thev thu.> # artists. As long as
men aad women ia any department keep
down and have a BART struggle they will

20, yes; he Is a good, clever sort of fel-
low" She is rather, yes. somewhat,
quite-Nell, NAV say, tOleraoly nice kind
of woman" But let him or her get a
little too high and off goes the aspiring
head by social or commercial decapltation.
Remember that envy dwells more on
small defects If character than on great
forces, makes more OF he fact that Domit-
ian amused himself by transixing flies
with his penknife than of his great con-
quests; OF the fact ina Handel was glut-
ton than Of the fac that he created imper-
ishable oratorios; more of Coleridge's
opium habit than OF his writing 'Christa-
bel" and Ancient Mariner:" more of the
fact that Addison drank TOO much than of
the fact that he was the author of THE
Spectators" more of a mans peccadilloes
than of his N ghty energies, more of his
defeats than his victories.
Look at the sacred and Heaven descended
science of healing, and then see DR.. Mac
kenzIe, the English surgeon who prolonged
the life of the Crown Prince of Germany
until he became Emperor, and, l nope, may
yet cure him. 50 that he may for many
years govern that magnificent German ma
ton, than which there is no grander. Yet
so great are the medical jealousies that DR..
Mackenzie dare not walk the streets OF
Berlin. He IS under military guard. The
medical students of Germany can hardly
keep their hands off OF him. The old doc
tors of Germany are writing with indigna
ton.
The fact is that in saving Frederick's life
Dr. Mackenzie saved the peace of Europe.
There was not an intelligent man on either
side the ocean that did not fear for the re-
suit if the throne passed from wise and
good old Emperor William to his inexperi-
enced grandson. But when, under the
medical treatment of Dr. Mackenzie, the
Crown Prince Freder ok took the throne, a
wave of satisfaction and confidence rolled
over Christendom; what shall the world
do with the doctor who saved ms life!
So" cried out the medical jealousies of
Europe, destroy him; of course, destroy
him.
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 fidel-
lty to that death bed. Drs. Bliss and Ham,
ilton and Agnew went through anXieties
and tolls and fatigues such as 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 agonized over 1t in tile sick room for
many weeks. |, who never had any thing
worse than a ruu-round on my thumb,
which seemed to me at the time was worthy
all 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-
norant of the case they were sure the
treatment practiced was a mistake. And
when in postmOrtem the bullet dropped
out of 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 tmen T ere are some doc
tors in all cities who woul rather have the
patient 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
it is no better than other professions.
There are now in all denominations great
many young clergymen who have fac
ulty for superior usefulness. But they are
kept down and kept back and crippled by
ministers who look askauce at these rising
evangelsts. They are srubbed. They are
jostlod. They are patrorlzngIy advised. 1t
is suggested to them that they had
better know their place. If here and
there one with more 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 Scripture: 'Tarry at
Jericho till their boards are grown They
are charged with sensatioDaliSm. They
are compared to rockets that go up IN a
blaze and come down sticks, and the brevi-
ty of their career Is jublantly prophesied.
If it be denomination with bishops, a
bishop is implored to sit down heavily on
the man who will not be nodded; or if a de-
nomination without bishops, some of the
older men with nothing more than their own
natural heavines5 and the theological av-
oirdupois are advised 10 fiatten out the in
novator. In conferences and presbyteries
and associations and conventions there IS
often seen the most damnabie jealousy.
Such ecclesi las tical tyrants would not adj
nit that jealousy had any possession OF
them, and they would take on heavenly
air and talk sweet oil AMI sugar piums and
balm of Il thousand flowers, and roll up
their eyes with an air of unctuOls sanctity
when they simply mean the destruction OF
those over VIII III they pray and shuttle.
There are cases where ministers OF relig-
ion are derelict and criminal and they must
be put out. But in the majority of cases
that l have witnessed IN ecclesiastical
trials there is a jealous attempt to keep
men from passing their theological fellows,
and. as at the Presidential elections in
country places the people have barbecue
which is roasted OK, round which the
people dance with knives, cutting off a
| slice here and pulling out rib there, and
saving off beefsteak yonder and having
| a high time-so most of the demon nations
| Of Christians keep Oa hand barbecue IN
which some minister Is roasted while the
| church courts dance around with their
| sharp knives of attack, ana one takes an
| ear, another a hand, another foot, and
| it is hard to tell whether the ecclesiastical
| plaintiffs Of this world or the demons OF
| the neither world most enjoy it. Albert
| Barnes, than whom no man has accom-
| plished more good in the last thousand years,
| was decreed TO sit silent for year in the
pew Of his own church while some one else
occupied his pulpit, the pretended offense
| that he did not believe IN a limited atone
! uent but the real offense the fact that all
the men who tried hIm put together would
not equal one Albert Barnes.
Yes; amid all professions and businesses
