Every public speaker is liable to say
what Punch calls things one could
wish to have expressed otherwise" Not
long since, at meeting Of ministers,
where q sermon that had caused very
general comment was criticised, a
Brooklyn pastor said several ill-consid-
cred things about the preacher Of the
discourse. The next morning, on see
ing them in the cold type of newspa-.
per, they seemed to him rude and Of
fensive. Immediately-being Chris
tian and gentleman-he wrote to the
editor letter for publication in the
next issue of the paper, wherein he
withdrew the offensive words as Jun
warranted and uncalled for" and con-
veying an unfriendly judgment which
the criticised preacher did not deserve.
The apology confessed the wrong and
made amends for the infelicitous
speech. That was not remarkable.
Gentlemen do that every day. But
what is remarkable about 1t is, that It
exhibits one theologian, who, living in
an atmosphere where there is no odium

exhibiting the rancor which cloaks it.

In the United States senate a bill has
lately been introduced to establish a
national department of public health.
The bill is the result of efforts by the
Pan-American Medical Congress, a
gathering of physicians from the coun-
tries of North, South and Central
America. Such department, If es-
tablished, would study in systematic
and scientific way, not only diseases
and their prevention or cure, but many
kindred matters which have quite as
important bearing upon the welfare
of the people-matters such as the con-
dition of the laboring classes, their
workshops and dwellings, the cost and
nutritive value of various kinds of food,
the purity of water supplies. etc.
