s. Swanson, prominent merchant
Of Chesterton, Ind, has been very
much troubled with burglars OF late,
and to catch them set spring gun in
his store, connected with a fine wire
stretched close to tho floor near the
door. A few weeks ago the trap
worked successfully on burglar,
filing his legs with huckshot ard
leading 10 his capture. MIR swanson
was very much elated with the she
cess OF his device, and kept it set
every night. He is sorry for it now,
A few mornings ago he was opering
up his place and as he opened the
front door sudden flash Of lightning
startled him aud he recoiled astep or
two. 1t was far enough to reach the
wire, and before he knew it he re-
ceiyed the charge OF the gun in his
own legs. 1t is thought that he will
lose one OF them.

2. And Gsv be too, something is
chargeable lst the preacher. He
often works oh too little soul, and his
sermon. are compositions that neither
breathe nor live. 1t was Cowper who
said :
81 venerate the man whose heart is warm,
Whose bands are pure, whose doctrine and
whose life
Coincident, exhibit lucid proof
That he is honest in the sacred cause"
But-aud this by way of apology-did
you ever know a man who could keep
warm surrounded by icebergs? Have
you thought what a task it is to have
to sustain your own spiritual life, and,
at the same time, supply slim
ulus to a multitude If others who need
and demand your care. and will
insist on doing little or nothing to
help themselves? All! brethren,
there is an isolation the preacher
has to endure, a work be has to do in
secret, unaided, which has lever
been understood by men. and with
which men have but little sympathy.
The very kind Of work l am now do
ing must 60 on continually, regardless
of my feelings, regardless of
my circumstances. If the efforts are
appreciated, | must not be pulled
up; if they are spurned. ] must not
be cast down. Under all conditions
of life, 10 the midst Of circumstances
Of any kind, the preacher must
be the same man, and his call must be
clear and ringing, DO matter if
the voice of his vi spirit is hushed
aud strangled amid the thousand
conflicts that press upon him. And
yeti am free to say it, for | believe it
the drifting away from the church is
largely due to the inertnes aud %perfuctory
methods of the men who preach the
gospel.
H RESULT OF HIS DRIFTING AWAY.
[ must coDdeuse this into a sentence
or two.
L. Multitudes are never reached by
the gospel, and hence multitudes are
perishing-perisbiug in aland of Bibles
and gospel privileges.
2. The church is reaping the same
fields from year to year, aud getting its
recruits from amidst the same classes of
people. Over yonder, beyond our
scope of labor, thousands live whom we
never reach in any way at all.
3. The work done among the few
who are rescued by special missionary
effort is smothered by contact with the
great masses of those who have no re-
gard for religion. l know a case of a
young woman who attended this church
for years, who at last went down to
ruin because Of the communicating in
aoence of those among whom she was
compelled to live add labor. 1t does seem
that in order to rescue one, it is
necessary to rescue many.
But let US redouble our efforts. We
do not need more machinery, not more
singing or preaching, but more genuine
Holy Ghost religion which alone
gives efficacy to our labcrs along
the line of rescuiug those who are
drifting away from God aud the church
to a sure and awful ruin.

A CURE FOR DIPTHERIA,
The New Treatment as Practiced in
France Attracting Attention
IN This Country.

/ WASHINGTON, Oct. 25,-The new
treatment by incubation for dip
iberia and Group as practiced in
France is the subject of special
report to the State Department
by United States Consul G. w.
Chancellor at Havre. He says that
by this method of treatment only
one out of four diptheric patients
succumbs, whereas the figure is
double for other other methods for
treatment heretofore applied. Con
sequently the Consul, who is a Bal
timore physician of repute, says
that it would seem very desirable
that the anti-diptheria serum
should be introduced and come in
to general use at the ealiest period
practicable in America, where
many thousands children and mum
erous physicians, students and
nurses die annually from diptheria
and Group. The consul gives in de-
tail history of the development
of the treatment by DR.. Pasteur
and his assistant, Dr. Roux, who
have been experimenting with it
for five years, keeping it secret un-
til they had satisfied themselves of
its efficiency and had subjected the
animal (the horse best adapted to
transform diptheric poision into
an anti-toxine.
Experiment reduced the death
rate from diptheria from 5l.70 per
cent to 24.33 per cent. In addition
it is stated that children vaccinat
ed with the serum were protected
from the disease even while living
in close contact with the diptheric
patients. AS the Pasteur Institute
cannot meet the great demand fol-
the serum, movements are on foot
in different localities to establish
auxiliary stations. In slight cases,
