An Amllulanca.

Is there anyone who has not yet con-
tributed his mite to the ambulance fund?
II still calls for them. Another wounded
man yesterday, and his bones ratified
over the stones on his way to the hospl-
tai. We are sorry that the city or county
of Lancaster cannot afford to provide an
ambulance and that the railroad com
panies, who furnish the most Of the
victims, do not see it to be their duty to
bear them tenderly TO their dying beds.
Butw hat can beexpected ofa county that,
bursting with wealth, furnishes % poor
accommodations and succor to her poor
and afflicted or Of railroads Tint treat
men ss sheep? II our people do not
want to hear the cries Of mnngled vie
tins who are borne through their streets,
they must themselves provide the easy
vehicle that will carry them tenderly.
Two hundred dollars will buy such a
wagon, and n few more dollars will
complete the fund. Send your contri-
buttons to this Office.

We note that our country friends, who
i've beyond the macadamised roads, are
complaining bitterly Of the condition in
which these roads are put by the recent
rains and we have full sympathy with
them, because we have shared ourselves
their toll and trouble in pulling through
these sloughs aud were we not all glad
when we reached the macadamlzed
roads, which we were ready enough then
to accept as a blessing, however
much at other times and In good weather
we have been disposed TO abuse the turn

10 happy in having macadamized roads
lead out in all directions. But they
ought to be free roads. The county ought
TO buy them, as Il is now authorized by
law TO do; and the county ought to
extend them to its furthermos,
parts. The roads of the county
are not creditable TO it. They are
often badly made and badly graded.
This great county ought TO put first
class engineer in charge Of its roads and
bridges. All its main avenues should
be well graded and macadamizsd. They
should be so well made as to make driv-
Ing upon them a pleasure instead of IA
pain, as it now often is.
This county needs greater facilities OF
inter-communication, and II can afford
to have them. Think OF it without a
bridge across the Susquebanna, save the

lous parts of the county, whose trade is

sides Of the county the drainage of its
trade il to the outside Of It's
borders, though it's own lack of enter

Its Macadam roads, which have done %
good work in the past ARE not now alone
SUFFICIENT to meet the need, which calls
for the speedier accommodation of the

Faith Curc.

In spite Of daily reports of death or
suffering due to attempts to apply the
absurd teachings Of the advocates Of the
faith cure, that strange movement ap-
pears TO be on the increase. In almost
every community scattered individuals
may be found who will confess that they
believe In the most extravagant claims
Of the faith cure people, and who only
need to be drawn into association by
some local apostle, to put their theories
In practice. It's advocates are often pee
pie of exceptional intelligence, with
minds of culture IL not keenness. They
have that rare and high sort Of courage
that leads them to declare convictions
that they know will excite ridicule and
even provoke suspicion Of their insanity.
This is the stuff that martyrs were made
of. II should be treated respectfully,
and with scrupulous deference to
whatever truth there may be In il. 1t
IN consoling to find that the will-o'-the-
wisp that you follow ie not all an airy
nothing Of the brain.
The disciple of faith cure needs to with
draw attention from the shadowy past
and fix il on the living present. He
must admit that no matter how feeble
the senses and fallible the intellect of
man they are all that he has for guild
ance I'm the material affairs Of life. When
these guides are challenged by miracle
that oeer-rides plain natural laws and
defies what we are pleased to call COM
mon sense--when very dead man gets
np and walks and dumb man suddenly
delivers an oration, then II will I've time
enough for us all to consider whether we
ought not to dcthrone our poor senses,
both common and uncommon, and heal
our bodies as we do our souls, by faith.
The most ardent Of faith cure believers
have failed TO show any unmistakable
example of cure In defiance Of natural
laws, and we must continue to live under
these laws, taking every advantage of
human experience and learning and
making shift as best we may with the
medical skill we find available.
Doctors may he bafiied--our much
vaunted and truly wonderful dis
covcries of modern science may only
serve TO show how much remains TO be
discovered, and how little we really
know Of these wonderful bodies of ours.
Men may die who should get well, and
those may recover whose doom has been
sealed by wise physicians. There may
be cases where the will and faith Of the
sick man have strangely controlled tho
course Of his malady but all these
things do not prompt US 70 throw aside
the gathered knowledge Of centuries and
to decline to profit by the accumulated
experience of countless host Of trained
students handed down from generation
TO generation, tempered by the trial Of
many ages and advancing with the
intellectural development ofman. Med
ical men admit the physical power of
faith when they give bread pills, aud
wherever II does not interfere with ren-
sonable treatment the principle may bs
applied, but we have no reason, right or
pretext by which to justify the conclu-
sion that prayers are better than pills as
cure for the bellyache.
