Spreading Contagion.

Diphtheria and scarlet fever have
ragged with especial violence in many
localities the past summer and the pres
emit winter. One peculiar fact is that
they have been more prevalent and
deadly in several country districts than
in the cities. The contagion from them
has spread more widely, the mortality
has been greater. The same is true Of
typhoid fever, which, although not con-
tagious in one sense, is certainly apt to
spread through family or neighbor-
hood when once it gets foothold.
Physicians attribute much of the fa.
tally and wide spread of the diseases
named to the rural method Of conduct
ing funerals. Certainly, in case OF
death from scarlet fever and diphtheria,
the body should be buried at once. with
in few hours, all the bedding and
clothing used by the deceased burned,
the room in which the illness occurred
thoroughly disinfected and allowed. il
possible. to remain empty for some
weeks. But physicians say that'few Of
these precautions are taken in the conn.
try districts During the illness Of q
patient from one Of the diseases named
friends. neighbors and relatiyes.are al.
lowed to run7into the room ut any time
and see the sick child Instead Of this
all ACCESS to the room should be forbid
den and the patient put in charge Of one
person. trained nurse, if possible.
After death from one of the ailments
named. no one should be allowed to &c
to the funeral or approach the coffin, ex.
cept those absolutely required. But in
stead OF this friends and relatives are
admitted to gaze upon the body. They
go TO the funeral by the hundreds often.
Then when scores OF poor children arr
attacked in turn and die, their Sunday
school fellows meet and pass resolutions
beginning. Whereas, it has pleased
divine Providence" Instead Of that thu
resolution should begin, Whereas, Grim

rance. etc.

The Church,s Opportunity.

If there is one thing that is clear. it is
that the people in general are no longer
interested in mere doctrinal theology al
they used to be. 1t is proved by the
popularity of those preachers who talk
little to their fiocks about creeds and
doctrines. but much about humanitarian
ism and leading social and economic
questions Life Is so hard and SO cruel
in our time, 50 much is required Of ms. and
we want some one to tell rs how to meet
the lions which stand ready to devon
us here and now at this moment. There
is so much. so very much, to be met and
fought now which our grandfather
never thought OF.
Recognizing this fact. one of the speak,
ers at the recent Methodist Ecumenical
council declared that the position Of
Methodism in the next century depended
largely on. that church's attitude to the
labor question today. The pastors Of
any and all the churches have it in their
power to help solve the questions that
vex the working people. It Is no longer
the time to council patient endurance Of
troubles which the history Of mankind
shows man can remedy by his own
gumption. They can be remedied in
peaceable. just ways too. Pastors might
study with care economic science and
the labor question from all standpoints.

carefully informed themselves, and then
given lectures to their people on social

go into the labor question in the large,
all around way that the founder Of
Christianity would do if he were here on
earth again, they could help more thar
any other agency now in existence.
They ought to do it.
