he has labored for than forty years in the
New Hebrides.
Dr. Patton related various incidents of missionary
work and told of the especially successful labors
OF one young man who had achieved distinction
a scholar before he went out there. The Doctor
said that the most successful missionaries were
a rule. those who had made the most thorough
preparation before starting In speaking of
the study of the Bible he said the missionaries
were extremely thorough owing to the necessity
OF of, iranslating IT. In the New Hebrdcs alone the
f'ibie has been translated into twenty two distinct
la.ngnages or dialects DR. Patton. 1t was remarked

PLACE AT THE MARBLE COLLEGIATE
The Rev. Dr. Jacob Chamberlain a delegate from
India and a famous missionary TO that country
under the Reformed Board, occupied the pulpit of
the Marble Collegiate Church, Fifth-ave and
Twenty-ninth-st in the morning He was once as
sistant preacher there. and the church was crowd
ed to the doors with his old friends and parishon-
ers. who listened attentveIy to his sermon In his
predatory remarks DR.. Chamberlain declared that
the conversion of India to Christianity had long
been regarded impossible so had said many
profound scholars in England, Germany and Amer
ica' and it was also the opinion of many learned
Oriental scholars. They gave what they believed to
be good reasons. They pointed the Hindoo sys-
TEN. to the BrahmE priesthood and to the en-
dowed temples, also to the caste system. all vitality
and intensely opposed to the spread of Christian
dental system could dsplace Hindooism. He pro-
ceeded to say:
The Hndoo system is remarkably complex Every
act OF life Is religious act controlled by the laws
Of Hindooism Their very lives depend tpon keep
ing up the system. and they will fight to the death
cannot remain. The religion of the people there
has produced a peculiar trend of thought But we
make converts by teaching the Hindoos the Gospel
in their own vernacular. Christian belief is spread
ing. Not long ago I stood at the entrance % a
Hndoo temple by invitation. and there spoke of
religion widely different from that of the priest
taught 70 sing Christian songs and so is spread
the propaganda of Christianity into many dark
places.
DR.. Chamberlain read translations from tracts
circulated by Brahmin priests. in which 1t was ad-
mtted that pure and undefiled Hindoolsm no longer
that Christianity is making great inroads among
them.

are six inches in diameter at the junction
with the bone. These extend into the cere-

CURES THE LOVE FOR LIQUOR.
Interesting Experiments With Al
Anti-AIcOhOl Serum.

Anti-AIcohol Serum.
| Consul Atwell at Roubaix has made re-
port to- the State Department in regard to
| the discovery of an anti-alcohol serum in
| France. He says. that in December last
Drs Sapelier Thebault and Broca advised
the French Academy of Medicine of their
discovery of an anti-alcohol serum.
These gentlemen stated that their expert
ments proved that a horse fed for a certain
time doses of alcohol and food mixed
cases of drunkards treated by anti-ethyline.
| line, which. injected into the victims Of the
alcohol habit. gave them an absolute dis
taste for the liquor
Dr. Sapelier o. Nauterre sent second
communica ton on May - in his own name
and that of his collaborators to the Acad-
emy of Medicine, stating his method and
the results obtained. He cited ffty-seven
cases of drunkardS treated by anti-ethline.
Seventeen cases. were failures. four result
ing from rresularity in following the treat
ment and thirteen from physical defects
considered as unfavorable conditions. There
were eight cases of Improvement, four not
withstandng irregularity in following
| treatment. and four despite defects limiting
the action Of the serum. Thirty-two cases
were successf H. The result is then as fol-
lows: Failures. 23 per cent: improved con-
dition. Is per cent; successful, 80 per cent.
1t has been said that the success obtained
by the injection of anti-alcohol serum is
due partially due to Imagination or auto
suggestion. DIR. SapeIier refutes this asser-
| ton by stating that, among the patients
cured certain Eumber were quite ignorant
| of the reason and nature of the treatment.
and that the hysterical and impressionable
patients figure among. the failures. or those
who merely improved in condition.
Drs. Sapelier Thebaut and Broca have
deduced ingenious theory from their
method. They say that the action of anti
alcohol serum, awakens. reflex acts, which
as whole constituted originally the in
Stinctive diStaSte of man for alcohol, thus
| re-establishing natural habit in place of
an induced habit. +
'Anti-ethyline thus restores a man to his
normal state. Drs. Sapeiier, Thebaut and
Broca consider that the serum may be re-
garded as a potent agent against alcohol
ism.
