The Mad Dog Bugaboo.

What the newspapers so essentially
report as cases of "hydrOphObia' are,
in reality, nothing more nor less than
instances of people who have been
bitten by dogs and frightened into
hysterical conditions in which they in
voluntarily reproduce all the supposed
symptoms of "hydrophobia. 1t is a
pity that our newspaper editors can
not have more careful regard for the
feelings of women during the summer
months and agree to suppress the re-
ports of cases supposed to be hydro
phobia." They make the public mind
nervous, and do more to spread the
silly notion of a belief in 'hydropho-
bia" than anything else. Women have
had their feelings played upon long
enough by this foolish notion of ''hy-
drophobia," and enough unnecessary
suffering has been inflicted upon the
dog, who is often killed for nothing
but popular fallacy. 1t is high time
that common sense should rule; that
we should believe the fact that there
is no such thing as 'hydrophObia," and
rid ourselves of this bugaboo of the
mad dog.

One of Boofb's .SoIdferS.

The Countess of Tankerville, one of
the most devoted members of General
William Booths Salvation Army, has
arrived. She is accompanied by her
husband, who was also a member of
the Salvation Army at Tacoma, Wash.
where the two first became acquainted
and were married. At that time the
Earl of Tankerville was third in sue
cesSion to the title. The countess was
Miss Lenora Van Marter, a resident of
Tacoma, and it was while engaged in
army work there that she attracted
the earl's notice. He was so smitten
by her rare beauty that he abandoned
the gay life he was leading in order
to be near her. Together they worked
for many months in the streets of Ia
coma, doing good to all with whom
they came in contact. Finally the
young man, by the death of relatives,
came into possession of his estates and

EARLY RISING SOCIETY.
Seekers for Health. Enjoyment an,
Longevity.

Longevity.
England is the home OIL queer socie-
ties, some of which have been satirized
by Dickens. One of the strangest is
that called the Early Rising Associa-
ton, which recently held its annual
meeting in London. The organization
adopted resolutions declaring that ear
ly rising was conducive to healthy.
enjoyment and longevity, which are
longer words than those used in the
nursery rhyme, although there is no
promise of wealth or wisdom. No def
mite action was taken in regard to the
hour at which persons snouiu rise. The
general opinion was that sunrise was
the proper time, although that made
the hours of rising earlier in summer
than in winter. 1t would have been
adopted, probably, had it not been that
by the operation of the rule seine peo-
pie could stay in bed later than 6
o'clock in the winter. The general
opinion was that that was entirety too
late to get up. Rising at sunrise in
summer would mean going to bed at
about o'clock in order to get the
traditional eight hours of sleep before
getting out of bed at A. This would
seem a hardship to most people 1t
would mean deprivation of those
pleasures that can be enjoyed only in
the evening. However, enjoyment is
purely matter of taste, as Sam Wei
Ter said.-Chicago Tribune.

IOE
Now, of course it is the easiest
thing in the world to pick out indi-
vidual cases where this highly effect
i've and economical plan would seem
justifiable, but the obstacle which
must everlastingly keep all such OBJ
stacles out in the realm of purely Wis
iOnary and impossible propositions is
the fact that no man, or group of men
no. nor that of angels. probably
could ever be trusted TO decide that
such and such a person could not be
reformed, but must die. There is the
crux of the whole matter. That little

no human wisdom is competent to pass
the final word. With DR.. McKim de-
claring, for example, that John Jones,
aged thirty, whom he has carefully
examined, is incorrigible and should
be executed, and John Jones mother,

he is, can and may reclaim him to
useful manhood-where is the judge or

In the year 1913 the Long Parlia-

the purpose Of settling the doctrine.

OF England. 1t consisted of l21 clergy

lords and 20 cOmmoners- together
with four clerical and two lay commits

called the superadded divines, were

assembly held its first meeting on July

ruary %, 1919, during which time il
work was concluded long before. The
Presbyterians formed large majority.
and exercised a corresponding infiu-
ence. In doctrine the members were
almost unanimous; but on the subject
or church government opinions ex-
tremely opposite were maintained with
keenness, especially on the question
touching the sphere and limits OF the
civil power in matters ecclesiastical.
The principal fruits of its deliberations
were the Directory of Public Worship.
the Confession of Faith. the Shorter
Catechism,, and the Larger Catechism
These several formularies, which con-
tain clear and rigid embodiment OF
Calvlnistic theology and Presbyterian
church government. constitute to this
day the authorized Presbyterian stand
ards. The Confession of Faith consists
of thirty-three chapters, so you can
very readily understand that it would
be inadvisable to publish it here in
full. Beginning with the canon of
Scripture, it surveys the entire field
OF theology, deals also with the rela-
tons Of the state to the church, the
constitution Of the church itself, and
concludes with the topics of death, the
resurrection, and the last judgment
It's precise logic, its clear, dignified and
powerful diction, and its constant ref
erence to Scripture in proof of its
statements, tended greatly to beget
that influence to which it attained.
