When Ezra and his host, by permis-
sion OF ArtaxerXes, returned from ex-
5le 10 their own country, Ezra was
ASHAMED TO ask of the king a band OF
soldiers and horsemen to help against
the enemy in the way" because he
mad told the king how powerful was
Jehovah, the God of the Jews. Would
that all Christians might be seized by
such a shamel
For We profess that Christ is enough;
let us be ashamed, having Christ to
grieve because we lack aught beside.
We claim Christ as our only Judge;
let us be ashamed to bend our conduct
TO the opinion of the world. We assert
shat happiness lies in self-denial; let
AIS be ashamed to say by our actions
shat happiness lies in self qualification.
Every choice OF mammon over right
eouSness; every disconnected worry
because of poverty or lowly station;
every covetous glance at larger bank
accounts, wider regulations, more
beautiful faces. and more luxurious
homes is abandonment of our allegi-
ance. is treason to our Lord. 1t vir-
tually says to the world, After all,
Christ is not enough"
Let us be ashamed-we who have
declared that for us Christ shall b.
ALTO live lives that give the lie to
our words. Let us so render unto
Caesar, the things that are Caesars.
that We may be able, in those deeds and
in all others, to render unto God the
things that are God's.-Christian En-
Lieavor World.

Statistics Applied TO Question of the
Relations Between the Two.

AN'AtAtAOhc A1CNNtNC INC 4 WOs
BY the Federal census of 1870 there
were 81. 445 physicians and surgeons in
the United States. BY the census OF
1880 the number had increased to So
OIL By the census of 1890 the number
was in excess of loo. 600, and il is COM
puted from the figures Of the various
medical associations that the total
number by 1900 viii be in excess Of
125.OOO, or about double what it was
thirty years ago. There were at the
date OF the last Official computation,
$4,000 physicians and surgeons in the
whole Of Great Britain, an increase OF
nearly 5000 beyond the figures of ten
years ago.
1t is usually computed that the Unit
ed States, exclusive of newly acquired
territory and lands under their prOtec-
torate. will show a population of 75,-
100000 in 1900. as against GO 900 900 in
the census of ten years ago, and If the
estimate of the number of physicians
and surgeons is correct, the proportion
Of physicians and surgeons to the
whole population would be 1866 to the
million, or larger proportion than in
any other country. These figures seem
to indicate that an affirmative answer
must be given to the question DO
doctors and health go together? The
country in which there are relatively
to the whole population the fewest
doctors is Russia, In which there are
only one-ifth as many as in the Unit
ed States, though the population of
Russia is materially larger. As against
125.O00 physicians and surgeons in the
United States. there are only $4,000 in
Russia, smaller number than are to
be found in Great Britain. though the
total population of the Russian EmDire
Europe and Asia. was 129, 000.0O by the
last official census. that of 1897, as
against 3S.000,0O0 in Great Britain. and
the total area of the Russian Empire is
S.660,00O square miles. as against 120.-
600 in Great Britain. The death rate
in England is low and is constantly
getting lower by the adoption of wise
sanitary and hygienic measures, but is
high and remains high in Russia.
There are about $4,000 physicians
and surgeons in Germany. There are
about $4,000 physicians and surgeons in
France, 10000 in Italy, $500 in Bel
gium, 1000 in Holland. and 5000 in
Spain. Holland which has a very low
death rate. has a larger proportionate
number of doctors than any other
Continental country Of Europe, and
Norway, in which the conditions are
normally favorable to good health, has
small number OF doctors and quite
a high death-rate-the two apparently
going together.

Christian Endeavor Prison work.

In the ''Secretary's Corner" OF the
Christian Endeavor World. John Willie
Baer says:
Mr.. Wallis, OF Kentucky, was here.
And his story of the way in which God
IS using Christian Endeavor in prisons
was thrilling. His meeting Sunday At
the jail was like breath of heaven to
many poor "shut-in."
Mr.. Wallis let me read a letter from
the president Of the Christian EndeavOr
society in the Eddyville, KY, prison,
and | copied this paragraph for you:
'One Of the most remarkable features
of the work may be observed after the
men have been locked up for the night.
The Christian Endeavor man, among
the volleys OF satanic confusion, can be
found kneeling on the stone carpet of
his dark and lonesome cell, sending up
his weak and feeble petition for his fell
low sufferers. God is truly blessing
the work OF the Christian Endeavorers
IN rescuing men of this place from de-
spairing lives"
Indeed Christian EndeavOr has en-
tered many a darkened cell and brought
the light of the gospel OF Jesus Christ.

He Dared to Trust God.

He was a street peddler. After hear
ing the Gospel, he called on the pastor
to learn more fully the way of life.
He was soon converted, and started
out to serve the Master with all the
e2gerness Of a young convert The
Sabbath question was the first difficult
problem he met. Before he was con-
verted he had to work seven days in
the week in order to keep his family,
and pay rent; but now. being a Chris
fian, he felt that he must keep the Sab
bath. After consulting the pastor he
concluded to keep the Sabbath, and
trust the Lord for the extra twenty-five
cents. Since adopting this plan his in

During the siege of Paris, DR.. w. H.

was very much in Bismarck's society
One evening, when Bismarck had been
denouncing the other English papers
with his usual violence and pungency
of phrase, DR.. Russell took occasion to
observe, in a self-complacent way:
We'll, you must admit, Count Bis

one OF the north-end schools last week.
Part of the training of the pupils con-

thoroughly understand the meaning
of the words.
1t fell to the lot of this little boy to

correctly. When the teacher asked him
to make up a sentence in which the
word should appear the little colored
boy thought moment and then spoke
