Church /
Dear brethren:
Hear me!-The night is
far spent, the day is at hand. !
Let us awake and listen to
the cries of our people com
ing from the public schools,
fully prepared to judge a sen
tence when they hear it.
This class of young people
are joining our church, and
calling for ministers who can
feed them intellectually.
We, as a church, are under
obligations to furnish such
teachers, or we must as
church suffer loss. That is
to say, they will seek this in,
formation elsewhere, and
other churches will furnish
the desired teaching, and
thereby take the coming
church from us.
Now If am crying wolf.
wolf! when there is no wolf
then let us profit by the
alarm, and fortify against the
day when the wolf will come,
The night is far spent, the
day is at hand. When our
fathers and mothers used to
pray that God would come
down and walk in the church
as q natural man, it was dark
like night in the minds Of
our dear fathers. But there
is a sweet sentence which
reads like this, -h1ugh poet
ical, it covers the ground !:
HE takes the meanings Of
his saints the language of
their grOans."
But when we remember
the night is far spent, We
cannot trust ourselves on
. sandy ground. But let rs
! get on the rock, and let us
: stand there and tell the
? world with an air Of truth,
that Godis a spirit, and seek.
eth such to worship him in
spirit and in truth.
Unfurl the gospel banner,
= and preach full and free
gospel, make no uncertain
sounds, but tell men every.
: where they must be born
. again. The day is at hand,
Arise and shine for thy
t light is come, and the glory
! of the Lord is risen upon
q thee"
The day is at hand when
, men must read as they run.
r The day is at hand, we must
! by faith preach the word of
God, till our enemies will be.
come our friends.
: We are living in a golden
age, the world is full of light,
the streets are lighted with
. electricity, cars are propelled
by electricity. And we want
less noise and more light
than our fathers had when
, they were praying to God to
walk in church like a natur.
', al man.
The world demands it of
.. us, the church is calling for
more light, the tax payers,
who run our schools mean
that we should lift the stand.

sons. Cne is that the skin of the hands
is stimulated to the exclusion OF the
rest of the body. All the nerves lead
ing from the hands are on the alert.
The sound passes through the internal
auditory canal by system OF tele-
graphy from the finger tips 10 the ears.
Here il affects the maleus or drum OF
the ear. and there is sound. Whlle
this-is going on the patient hears little
that reaches him from any other
source.
Experiments are being made upon
totally deaf people-the deaf and
dumb. for dumbness is caused by utter
deafness and with fine results. There
is actual hearing in almost all cases.
The failure to hear is in the instances
where there is such 2 serious state OF
ear drum and ear nerves that positively
nothing can vibrate. These people
will go througl life in utter silence.
But nine ont Of ten deaf-mutes can
hear this music.
COSTS A GREAT DEAL.
The agitation of the skin Of the
hands by electrical irritation is not
painful process. It's feeling is de-
scribed as peculiar" The deaf say 1t
is a new sensation to them. There is
a steady rhythm that thrills them
pleasantly. and the sound comes in
clear tones to the ear. 4 person who
can hear gets it in the same way, mar
red very slightly by the TACT that
fraction of a second is lost in transmit
ting the sound to the phonograph, and
through the wires TO the fingers and
hence to the ears. The time OF trans
mission is very quick; but even so. if
one can hear the stage, there is a lag
ging sound, as though one person were
dragging the tune. There is not
that absolutely indispensable spon-
taneity.
The solution does not injure the
hands. Certain very tender skins have
q crinkly appearance after being in wa
ter. That is all The solution is in
proportion of seven and a half grains
of salt to a pint of water, which is the
normal saline proportion of salt in the
human blood The solution IS per-
fectly harmless.
The trouble with all invention like
this is their expense Only the wealthy
can enjoy them A rich man can order
the cushions of his opera box furnish
ed with a basin for the saline fluid.
Electric wires can be carried secretly
TO his box. and, except for the phonO-
graph, none would guess that anything
unusual was being done. me expense
would be considerable. IS Inc phOno-
graph must be furnished with micro
hone and resOnator. But once done
and it would be done for al time.
Medical specialists upon the ear are
of the opinion that there are enough
deaf persons in every community to
pay the expense of rigging up this
photographic stage communications.
More could be charged Tor the seats;
and -rSOns who never attend the
theatre or the opera because they can
not hear would gladly go. The man
agement would not object to the phon-
Ograph's presence, and could hide it
with draperies or palms.
1t is a grand invention, looked at in
all ways, and will relieve a large class
of men and women who suffer a slow
martyrdOm of sound.
