souI-saving Not What 1t Used to he
To the Editor:
I read a good deal In the papers about q re-
vival OF religion In New York. Great audiences
assemble to hear tho Gospel preached. I have
heard som. OF the discourses. and was Interested.
The preaching is very good. But wonder why
preachers at the present time do not tell men
what to do to bs saved. as did the apostles OF
Christ. The pulpit teaches US to believe that
Simon Peter. for Instance and Paul snd the rest
4 them were inspired by the Holy Spirit to
preach. and hat their preaching was right--in-
fallibly right The preachers to whom Lord
said. Preach the Gospel" were guided in their
ministerial work by the Holy Spirit into all truth.
Jesus said 1T Ia not you that speaks, but the
spirit OF God IN you" They told men plainly how
to proceed TO be saved by Christ They tell us
the preachers Of to-day-that there is no other
name than that OF the Christ by which sinners
must be saved. II is as clear as sunbeam that
the preachers who are at present engaged in re-
viyal work In New York do not interest anxious
inpurers. as did the men who In the oiden time.
under the direct and supernatural guidance OF the
Holy Spirit, taught sinners the way OF life My
question is. Why do they not? Has the old in
structon been replaced BY subsequent informa-
tion from above1 May be tho New Testament has
been superseded. Why mott II II has not been
displaced. why not quote Its language TO inquirers
and say. This is what the Holy Spirit says con-
corning the way OF salvation7' Why not? This
is my question. JOHN WILSON.

It is an almost fatal obstacle in the
building up of practice for physician
to wear youthful face. Any doctor
will corroborate that l remember an
amusing incident in my own experience
after / had graduated from hospital
service and put up my single and start
ed practice 1t was terribly slow work
getting patients had friend who was
a medical student in my office. He was
very dark complexioned, and though only
20 years old had big black beard. A
woman called at the Office one day and
asked to see the doctor. My student an
swered the summons and said that he
would call me. walked into the recep-
ton room. The patient, who was a
stranger to both of us, looked at me i'm
patiently. had very adolescent mus
tache at that time,
II want to see the DOCTOR" she ex-
claimed rather sharply. II don't want

myself the loss of that patient I had tc

was present, heard all that was said,
and was the author of the prescription
given. The woman didn't know that,
however, and went away perfectly sat

of that kind occur every day.-New

Southern Planters.

The gentleman, indeed, has taken to
agriculture i'll the south. Before the war
the whole southern social system rested
on the planter. There has been an in
sidious and noiseless industrial revolu-
ton since, but the planter remains the
main support of the taxes. We have no
class among northern farmers that quite
answers to his. He resembles more the
English country gentleman Of a past
generation when country gentlemen did
not go to town.
All the same, it would not do to
count the planter out of the scheme. He
is the most American farmer of them
all, barely excepting the New England
or, who is disappearing every year. He
furnishes a conservative, native born
influence of immense account. A class
that still believes in God and women
and honor, that may be led astray by
hotheaded prejudices, but can neither
be bought nor cowed, is q class to be
valued, since it is as true today as in
Goldsmith's time that
Ill fares the land, to Fastening ills prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men decay.

Skins of Fruit.

The skins of fruit should never be
eaten, not because they are not palatable
or digestible or are unhealthy in them
selves, but on account Of the danger aris-
ing from microbes which have penetrat-
ed into the covering of the fruit. Every
body has noticed that at times slight
scratch will create considerable sore
on the human body. 1t is generally as
cribed to an unhealthy condition Of the
blood, but close microscopical exami-
nation will show that it is due to the
presence of microbes thus introduced
into the system. So with an apple,
peach, pear or grape. The fruit may
be perfectly sound and healthy, but on
the skin or covering may be microbes,
which, introduced into the human sys-
tenn, will breed disease. These germs are
not uncommon; neither are they always
present. 1t is possible to eat this cover
ing without injury, but the danger is
such that it is best not to incur the risk.

Wasting Our Wealth.

Providence stocked the earth, the wa
tiers and the air with store of all that
was necessary for the use or for the
benefit of man. Had we been content to
live upon what may be called the inter-
est of this store there was amply suffi-
cient to last for all time. But we are
the spendthrifts of our race; we are ex-
hausting our capital, DISCRIMINATING ev-
cry wild animal, ladling out with our
machinery every mineral and raking the
very ocean for its wealth. What is to

our sensationalism, exhausted our cap
