The following curious instance Is re-
ported by M. Schnirer Of the ease with
which consumption germs may be dis
seminated. While at work one day in
the laboratory Of Weichselbaum. be
sent for some grapes to eat. The fruit
had been kept for some time IN q basket
outside the lavatory and was covered
with dust, SO that the water in which it
was washed was black. On examining
it he reflected that, inasmuch as the
neighboring street was traversed by con
sumptive patients going to the clinic,
the dust probably was charged with
tubercle bacilli. To settle this, M.
Schnirer injected into three guinea pigs
ten cubic centi1neters of water in which
the grapes had been washed. One ami
NAL died III two days from peritonitis,
the two others died ON the forty-eighth
and fifty-eighth days, respectively, pre-
senting marked tuberculous LESSONS,
especially at the place of injection.
The water in which the grapes had
been washed was taken from the faucet,
and the glass containing it had been
sterilized; neither the boy who had
bought the grapes, nor the merchant
who had sold them. was c0nsumptive.
The cause OF the infection was, beyond
doubt, the dust on the grapes. This OK
pertinent illustrates the danger arising
from the dissemination Of desiccated
tuberculous sputs IN the air.-HalFs

Mr.. eEEcAgR,s FIRsT SERMON.
His Widow Describes the Great Preach
er's First Brooklyn Sermon.

er's First brooklyn Sermon.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher gives an in
teresting account Of the first sermon
preached by Mr. Beecher in Plymouth
church, Brooklyn. III her fifth paper on
Mr.. Beecher as ! Knew Him in The
Ladies Home Journal. A perfect food
Of warnings and criticisms came to him
before his first sermon. Doubtless all
these warnings determined Mr.. Beecher
more than aught else that the people of
his new church shoHld fully understand
before he was installed what course he.
was likely to pursue. He told me that
if Plymouth church decided to install
him, it would do so with its ewes wide
open. 1t was upon the evening of Sun
day, Oct. 10, 1s47. lie sat quietly on
the pulpit while the choir v-as singing.
His eyes scanned the concourse Of peo-
pie before him, bHt it was the look Of
confidence that saw.
Knowing as did something Of what
he intended to say, | could not bnt
think, win these people accept the
bold course he has marked out for bis
work from one 80 young lookings' For
his ten years Of labor at the west had
not rubbed the youth from his face. j
noticed the almost contemptuous looks
of the strangers present as they watched
his face. AS lie rose to read the Scrip
lures deathlike silence pervaded the
great church. But not tremor was
visible in the voice that spoke. With
that mellow voice which the BROOKLYN
public learned so well to know be read
the lesson of the evening as if he were be-
fore his Lavrenceburg audience. Then
as he uttered the first low sentence Of
his prayer, As his heart rose heavenwarl,
the effect Of the preacher became visible
on his congregation, and he brought his
bearers close to the mercy seat. All was
changed. An almost breathless solemn
ty pervaded the church, and tears were
on many faces.
The youthful look vanished and did
not return, as in his sermon he plainly
and with great solemnity showed his
hearers the course duty called him to
pursue. As he said Of these remarks
years after. II lifted up the banner and
blew the trumpet in the application OF
Christianity to intemperance, to slavery
and all other great national sins. said
to those present, If remain here and
you come to this church it mnst at the
commencement be distinctly understood
that / wear no fetters, that | VIII be
bound by no precedent, and that | will
preach the Gospel as ! apprehend 1t.
whether men viii hear OF whether they
viii forbear, and viii apply it sharply
and strongly to the overthrow Of every
evil and to the upbnilding Of all that is
good.
After the close of tho sermon many
came 10 counsel Mr. Beecher They
were actuated by kindness to him and
anxiety for the church. Such bold, plain
speaking they did not understand. They
had never been used to it. It would
overthrow this young church.
Don't ally yourself TO unpopular men
or unpopular causes they told him
There is no ocall forit. You Will only IN
jure yourself and break mp this church. "
After preaching a month IN Plymouth
church he was installed as pastor on
Nov. III. 1917.
