CULTIVATE CHRISTIAN CHARITY.

DEBORAH, the same rs all other towns,
has its gossipers, its tale-bearers, and
social vampires. That good old scrip
tural injunction, Glove thy neighbor"
has almost been relegated to the rear
by the avarice of social sensation and
gossip. MANS days are Short" and
life is but feeting shadow; then
would it not be much better If we
should endeavor to lift up the fallen
and strengthen the weak and try and
make this world nobler, better and
happier.
A great deal of unhappiness is
caused by people who pry into the
affairs of others and who maliciously
repeat and enlarge upon little scraps Of
information they received concerning
the private affairs of friends and neigh
bors. They ply their shameful schemes
in politics Us well rs society. These
people are particularly formidable be-
cause their mode OF speech bears the
stamp of sincerity. They usually APP
preach the subject in hesitating,
roundabout way, as if 10th to give ex-
preston to words that can hardly fail
to injurc the character OF those whose
absence renders them defenscless. 1t
is not Il part OF their policy to give the
maligned party the shadow of chance
to trace the unfriendly and Often-times
vicious accusation that are so blighting
in their effect upon the sensitive ma
ture. One cannot always refuse to
listen to words that fall from the lips of
the talc-bearers and mischief-makers
whose chief end i'm life seems n desire
to create confusion and unhappincss.
'They say it is 50" and "rhere isl
doubt about the story being true" are
some of their favorite expressions.
We cannot fail to accomplish great
deal of good if we refrain from repeat
ing rnmors that are calculated to injure
the reputation of relative, friend or
ncighbor. We all know how easy it is
to add a few words to story, and we
also probably know how hard it is to
erase the blot caused by uncharitablc
Misrepresentation. People who possess
Il charitable disposition are not easily
influenced by reports concerning the
wrong-doing of others. They do not
proclaim their virtues and friendships
from the house-tops, but with quiet
mien and carnestness of purpose they
begin to counteract the evils that follow
in the wake of the misunderstanding frl-
ternity.
Life is short and friendship very
precious, so let us resolve to Danish
evil and hold fast to that which is
good. Let us endeavOr to cultivate the
Christian charity that will enable us to
bear with the shortcomings of others
and give them in this hour of need
the friendly sympathy which is 50
precious to all of us.

a Michigan doctor had a remarkable
experience in the treatment of diphthe-
ria by anti-tOXin. He had twenty-five
cases under his care, the disease being
of a peculiarly malignant type. Being
unable to procure anti-tOXin at once, he
was obliged to treat the first eight cases
without it. Four of these patients
died. He afterwards received a supply
Of the remedy and treated the remain
ing seventeen with it, every one being
cured. This is probably an unusual
ease. The advocates of the anti-toXin
treatment do not claim that il is infall-
ible. But wherever it has been tried
its success has been sufficiently marked
to leave no doubt of its efficacy. Its
discovery has already proved to be IN
incalcuablc boon.
