with Mr.. Whitney, which took place in
1867 at the home in which her father
now lives. Though deeply grieved over
the death of his daughter, Mr.. Payne
bears the blow well. In telling the

INDISCRIMINATE KISSING
And the Use of the Common Communion
Cup Condemned by DIR. Probst


Cup Condemned by Dr. Probst
Syscial TeIsoraDs 20 ne Register.
COLUMBUS, February 6.-Dr. c. 0.
Probst, Secretary OF the State Board OF
Health, to-day appeared before the As
sociation of Pastors of the city TO urge
their cooperation in two much-reeded
sanitary reforms. One is to stop the
custom OF indiScriminate kissing and
the other to abolish the use Of the same
cup 10 the administration OF the
sacrament by several hundred per-
sons. Mr. Probst explained that the
most certain and most dangerous trans
mission Of the germs OF disease IS by
this from mouth to mouth method. He
cited the almost universal habit among
ladies of kissing friends on greeting
them or bidding them goodbye, OF
kissing babies and children and urging
babies and children to kiss each other.
Pastors, too, usually consider IL part
Of their duty to kiss the babies
Of their parishioners. All this
was well meant, but II was
as dangerous as II was perfunctory In
many cases. He quoted Moses as q
san!tarian on the subject, and said the
great lawgiver would not have tolerated
either the kissing or the common cup
custom in sacramental administrations.
The clergymen asked for some practical
suggestions as to how to obviase the
dangers pointed out in the communion
service. Several were giveu, but the
only one considered practical was that
each communicate have his own cup.
A resolution to do all in their power TO
bring about these reforms was adopted.

As for himself he had long ago resolved

suggested that if the State wanted to
economize it might make the chaplain
OF the State prison also chaplain In the
