Lord that we should have this building

"A little later we were suddenly in
formed by Mr.. Darling that he had an
offer from syndicate of wealthy men
OF $4,000 a year for fifteen years for
this building. for theater in which to
produce The Passion Play carica-
ture of the sufferings and death Of the
Lord Jesus Christ
Mr.. Darling had accepted the propo-
sition Of these parties in the interest of
his partners, and so he informed us that
ne would be unable, as he had ex-
pected, to rent us the property.
Then we began to pray for light, and
IN the end found that 1t was great
benefit to us that our first arrangement
was not consummated
God in his providence allowed the
Morse syndicate to make the necessary
repairs, which cost from $4,000 to $75,-
for public services.
When they had secured the building
and put it in good shape the Morse
people offered us the use Of the the

Brooklyn on that same night
A year or two passed and we then
determined to purchase a building for
ourselves Instead of leasing one. Our
choice fell upon the large and hand

numbers of glass tubes about half an
inch thick and six inches long. In the
end of each tube is a small plug or cot
ton. Inside the tubes can be seen a
brownish substance, and in some IN
stances there is a tiny light-cOlored
line running down into the substance.
This is a colony of germs. There are
billions of the tiny organisms IN each
of these tubes.
Innocent enough looking things. They
can be handled with impunity, ana
providing there are no sores on your
skin you can even rub the substance
on any part of your body and no harm
will come, providing it is soon washed
off But should there be even the small
est kind of sore spot the germ that
was in the tube will reproduce itself
within a short time and reproduce it
self over and over again, so that within
twenty-four hours you will be SICK.

take it out and spill 1T into the Spring
Valley reservoir on a warm day and
week later an angel of death will hover
over San Francisco. for the tube is
filled with the germs of the deadly
black plague. To spill the tube into
the bay would not cause harm, be-
cause the water is so cold the germs
could not propagate there. However,
even such an act would contain an
lie dormant for years until thew washed
up into some of the fresh water
marshes, where they would reproduce
themselves and start out on a mission
of death
Although the tiny light streak in the
tube of gelatine represents micro-or
ganisms, the organisms themselves
cannot be seen except with the most
powerful microscope. A tiny speck of
the poisonous matter taken from the
tube on the end of piece Of platinum
wire and spread on glass slide Will,
when properly stained and fixed and
put under the microscope, reveal thou
sands of tiny threadlike objects.
These are the deadly bacilli, and the
numbers of them in the tube can only
be vaguely surmised, when 1t is con-
sidered that only the millionth part of
the contents of the tube has been
picked up on the wire.
Dr. Ernest Pillsbury has at present a
splendid colony of typhoid fever germs
in his laboratory. These germs are
somewhat larger than most of the other
deadly germs and also very active. BY

half million of our citizens were not

deprived of the right of the Gospel.
My aim was to stir them up to a
sense Of their responsibility, to a rec
ognition of their opportunities, but
through no sectarian medium.
My first essay was IN a house in
Thirteenth street, few doors away
from my pastorate. l had long felt
that 1t was the Lords will l should
take that house and make 1t the center

which was afterward destroyed by fire.
OOAi6lcSdlloA grew, anu finally we
were enabled to rent what came to be
known as the Old Gospel Tabernacle, in
West Twenty third street.
AT that time 1t was in dilapidated
condition. 1t had originally been erect
ed as the church edifice of our reformed
congregations. Then it became sue
cessively a stable and an armory. 1t

cate, whereof tie president was the
late Mr.. Darling Of the Fifth-avenue

made subject of special prayer on the

into a drop of staining fluid and plac-
ing it under the microscope the deadly
germs can be seen in motion. Thous-
ands and thousands of them roll and
tumble about They coil themselves up
into balls and straighten out again.
There are so many of them as to be
! beWildering to look at. Such CULVER
ing mass can only be likened to 9oX
Of worms. But the Quivering lasts only
a few moments. The staining fluid and
the cold are deadly to the microbes.
Gradually they become quiet, then give
a few convulsiVe wriggles and lie still.
OF what use is all this dangerous ex-
perimenting with germs?
Principally for education.
If a physician does not know what
the germ of a certain deadly disease
looks like he will not be able 10 recog-
nize it should he meet 1t In his practice.
Nor will ne be able to find 1t If he does
not experiment and become thoroughly
familiar with the manipulation neces-
sary to bring the microbe into sight.
The reasons for breeding it are prin-
cipally to have 1t on hand for expert
mental purposes. The exchanging of
microbes is one of the courtesies of the
medical profession.
Should a new disease make it's ap-
pearance in Honolulu the physicians
down there would consider it their duty
to send the germs of it, should they be
able to find them, to DR.. Rosenau. so
that he could recognize the disease in
case it should appear at this port.
DR.. Vowinkle, whose office is at Van
Ness avenue and Suffer street, studied
at the University of Berlin when DR..
Koch was making his experiments in
the same way as DR.. BariSch was doing
in Vienna. DR.. Koch, l,wever, was
more fortunate. He has positively dis
covered one microbe-that Of tubercu-
Iosis. He, too, went to India, as did
Dr. Barisch, and brought home germs
or cultures of Asiatic cholera to study
in his home laboratory.
When seen at his office DR.. Vowinkle
showed great interest in It's study of
germs. He said: If science can pre-
vent the spread of diseases which have
devastated whole continents no task
can be too great to be attempted. DR..
Koch was one of the first 20 investigate
on these lines. He started with the
theory that contagious or infectious
diseases are caused each by its own

farmer watches over his crops, and
should the contents of a tube show
signs of dying all the resources of SCI
ence and the tender care of a watchful
guardian are brought to bear, in order
to sustain life. Sometimes the result
is a success, but more frequently 1t is a
failure.
1t is a good deal more difficult to
rear the germs of cholera than it is to
rear chickens. Germs are delicate and
require the most careful attention to
keep them alive, in spite of the fact
that they are so difficult to kill when
they spread among the population and
become a plague.
in and around San Francisco where
nearly all kinds of deadly germs are
always on hand. The most important
of these, and the best supplied with
deadly germs, is the one on Angel ISL
and, in charge of DR.. Rosenau Of the
Government quarantine station.
DR.. Ernest Pillsbury has laboratory
of his own on Scott and Pine streets
that is we'll supplied with the germs
of such local diseases as under extra
ordinary circumstances might become
epidemic. His collection of the ba-
cillus of tuberculosis is perhaps the
largest in the country.
DR.. Mauser on Bush street has a good
laboratory well supplied with germs.
The principal medical colleges have a
certain quantity of germs on hand in
their laboratories, and. besides, there
are a few scientific experimenters with
laboratories full of germs, hidden
away where it is almost impossible to
find them.
1t might be thought to be an easy
matter to obtain and take care of

the case. To obtain a tiny tube of the
germs of Asiatic cholera during the
time that disease was last raging in
the Orient took considerable CORE
spondence and money on the part Of
DR. Rosenau of the Government quar-
antine station. And had 1t not been
for his position 1t is hardly possible
that he could have succeeded in OBJ
tanning them.
When the tube did come it was
packed in a piece of bamboo and COW
cred with all sorts of figures and labels
and the top sealed with a big red seal
bearing the arms of the Chinese EN-
pire. The doctor in China who was
good enough to send the germs also
sent a brief account of the efforts he
was put to in order to obtain them
and also the trouble he was put to be-
fore the Chinese officials would consent
to their being sent out of the country
In the end they were brought here by
a surgeon of one of the Pacific Mail
steamships who appreciated the impor-
lance of having them in this country.
DR.. Rosenau's laboratory on Angel
Island is in a tiny building all by it
self. When you look into the room you
see only a number of shelves covered
with bottles of various sizes couple
of microscopes and several small cop
per boxes that look something like the
ovens that are used on oil cooking
stoves They are built on the same
principle and are in reality incubators
for the Matching and rearing of germs

tuberculosis. Then he hfd another
very thin glass plate over it and
smeared both plates to get the sputum
spread out very thin. The top plate
was then pulled off.
Theoretically sealed tubes of steril
lZed gelattne are used to grow the
germs. He prepares three tubes, melt
ing the gelatine in each. Next he uses
fine platinum wire which has just
been heated red hot in a flame and
cooled to kill any foreign germs. This
wire he dips in sputum and takes up
only dot of ii and puts it into the
hrst tube of melted gelatine He
snakes the tube and with another clean
wire dips out as much gelatine as will
stick to its point. This is put into the
second tube. Then from the second to
the third in the same way. and all the
tubes are sealed and laid away in a
warm place. In forty eight hours the
gelat1ne is melted in the last tube and
poured on to a glass plate which
is made very cold on a block of ice.
This makes a thin layer of coagulated
gelatine, and on the surface you can
see spots These spots are colonies of
microbes"
DR.. Parent, in speaking of the expert
ments with the bubonic plague in vi
emma, said: There is very little known
as yet by science of bubonic plague. I
suppose 1T is partly because the dis
case 10 III 1ncld ana so lar away from
any great medical schools. Probably
a stronger reason is that the disease
is so virulent and so much dreaded
that most doctors let 1t alone. Those
who have studied it have usually gone

eS. Maybe more virulent than any
known disease, though why 1t is so we
do not know. The bubonic plague is
always more or less prevalent around
Bombay and Calcutta. 1t is like lep-
rosy-it does not thrive out of its own
natural surroundings.
