Rev. Dr. J. y. Buckley. editor of the
Christian Advocate, is a martyr to sys
TEN. including diet, exercise and sani'
tary conditions in general. Many
members of his family have suffered
from lung disease ana IL Is only by the
utmost care that he has been able e.
resist the ancroaChment of the sam,
aillction. His residence is built with q
view to making ii as absolute
~ sanitary as modern science
can devise. An arrangement o,
pipes or chimney rises To the
height of forty to fifty feet above tha
house top to insure admission Of pure
air. The plumbing is constructed or
the most complicated plans. So that by
no possibility can there be an escape
Of sewer gas. In the basement a saw.
horse is so fixed to the floor that DIR
Buckley may saw wood at the ap,
pointed time according to his ideas as
to the ethics of wood saving. This
exercise consumes Il certain portion oI
the day After dinner he walks for AZ
hour and a half each evening to insure
sleep, and in fact every moment of tn,
day is lived according to a fixed Sched.
ule How u man whose home is
synonym for the advanced thought and
brain of Methodsm is able to accom-.
plsh the mighty work which he does
and at the same time give 50 much at.
tentlon to the care of his health i,
one of the mysterious things which oc,
Casionally surprise us in an eXtraordi.
nary type OF mortals. Or. Buckley I.
one OF the few men who could be {
bishop OF a great church If he chose
hut in the opinion of his fricnds he !,
filling a place in the world in compari
son to which the high office of bishoT
Is confined TO narrow space.
Special interest will cluster around
the service tomorrow morning in the
North Maine Avenue Presbyterian
church, as it is the twentieth anniver-
sary of Rev. George f. Guilds pas
torate in that church and in this city
Mr.. Guild announces an historical dis.
course for the occasion, in which he viii

church for the score Of years. The
church in these later years has taken
its place among the active and stronger
