The chief points ON which they differ

Sunni belief is that there is one i'm
mortal God, whose works are without
beginning or end, and that he will be
visible to the souls of the blessed, while
the Shiahs deny the Immortality of the
soul and maintain that the cocxistent
principles of Zoroaster will forever con-
tend for the mastery" With regard to

ut happened ten years ago." said
one Of the hospital clerks in telling the
story, Just after the doctor became a
visiting surgeon here. A woman was
brought In suffering from cancerous
growth that must in the end prove ia
tai. The house surgeon in charge, a
young man, advised an immediate oper-
alton, and he and his assistants were in
the midst Of it when the visiting sur.
geon arrived.
"A student was handling the knife
and had laid bare the life destroying
cause.
Careful, careful, exclaimed the
visiting surgeon as the student dexter
ously cut the flesh. If you sever that
artery, she may die under the knife.
1.-The warning came late, the knife
had slit the artery, and the blood leap
ed into the wound.
"The visiting surgeon had small
cut on his forefnger. To seize the ar.
terry 80 as to stop the flow Of blood
would necessarily bring the cut in con-
tact with the baoilli of cancer. A mo-
ment's delay, on the other hand, meant,
perhaps, the woman's death.
without an instant's hesitation the
surgeons trained fingers had gripped
the artery, which he held firmly until
il, could be hgatured. 1t prolonged the
woman's life few months, 4" continued
the narrator but the poison got into
the doctors system, and he lay at the
point Of death for weeks. "-Pittsburg
