MEDICAL MISSIONS.

The Christian Endeavor topic for
July q is found in Matthew x, u.s.
In this chapter we have the commission
of Christ to the twelve apostles just
before He sent them upon their first
missionary Journey In this commits
sion two things are uppermost: First,
they are to preach, second, they are to
heal. And as we go preach saying
the kingdom Of heaven. is at hand. Heal
the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out
devils, freely as we have received free
ly give" In this commission we can
see that Christ recognizes the imports
! ance of both the body and the soul,
and we can also see that he recog-
nizes the opportunity of reaching the
soul through the body.
| The Intimate relations that exist be-
tween the body; the mind and the soul
illustrate the Importance Of Christian
ity's position in this respect. 1t would
be an lmpoSSibiiity to lead man to
Christ who is hungry. No less a dis
tinguished evangelist than Mr.. Moody
has declared, "A man with cold feet
cannot be converted The body, the
mind and the soul all bear, the most
intimate relations the one to- the other.
1t is impossible to treat one without
due and proper attention to all. Rec
ognfzing this principle. Christianity
has paid proper attention to the mind
and to the body, having Of course in
| mind the reaching Of the soul above,
everything else.
This attitude of Christianity, toward
the body has been specially applied to
the work of foreign missions. This
has been done for a number of rea;-
sons. % In most heather countries
medical science is very little advanced.
Perhaps there is nothing eruder in
heather life than the methods of taking
care of the body. Medical science is
scarcely understood at all. The meth
| DDS of the physicians of heathendoui
are most crude and instead of benefit
ing the health are usually injurious
| to it. This condition made it abso-
| lutely necessary for Christian mission
aries to pay attention to medical
| science. Even before medical mission
aries were sent to the foreign fields
| the others had to, give some attention
to this subject. (2) Medical mission
aries are not only necessary, but they
are also very powerful influence. Ct
! is possible through them to gain adj
| mission to many places where other
wise it would be impossible to go. The
women of most Oriental countries can
be reached through the women doctors
as in no other way. They live ordi-
| narfly most exclusively and under most
| circumstances are absolutely 1nacces-
| sible Or were SO until medical missions
! played such an important part in our
| foreign missionary work. CD Through
| medical missions it is possible to gain
| the confidence of foreigners as in no
other way. They are naturally sus-
! picious and prejudieed, but when they
| see the beneficent results of medical
| missions their, loved ones healed on
| saved from disease, this prejudIce
largely passes away. They can realize
that this attitude is at least
| beneficient, and they are naturally
| therefore, the more readily convinced
that the gospel truths will have the
| same effect upon their souls.

GOOD DISEASE
BREEDERS

Time honofed tradition to the contrary
Notwithstanding, cobwebs are about as
unsuitable a dressing as the ingenuity
of man could devise.
In some out of the way district in
the south of Ireland spiders are highly
esteemed in the treating or Group. The
peasants get from an old wall the webs
of seven black spiders, two of which
must have the owners sitting in the
middle. The insects are killed and are
sprinkledr with a little powdered alum.
The resulting, mixture must then be
boiled, apd when cool the liquid is
poured down the throat of the patient.
Black spiders are evidently supposed
to be full of medicinal virtue, for they
are largely employed in the treatment
of ague as well. In Somersetshire if
one is afflicted with this unpleasant all
ment the.waytto get well is to shut up
a large blacknspider in box and leave
1T there till it dies. At the moment of
its death, the ague snourd disappear.
In Cornwall the treatment IS more
heroic. The patient must swallow the
spider, which is generally taken in
thick Cruel. In the extreme north of
Scotland spiders webs are believed to
be cure for neuralgia ana toorhache..
The webs are collected and made into
a small spoultice. which IS applied to
the spot where the pain is felt.

Study fbe Stars

THE MOST ANCIENT OF STUDIES.
Even a little study of astronomy
is calculated to impress one with the
thought that earthly ideas of speed and
space are very toy-like.
The earth travels around the sun
at the rate of nineteen miles a second.
That rate of speed would make mile
a-minute train look as if it were stand
ing still.
The sun, which keeps every thing on
this earth alive, is 95,000,0 900 miles
away from us, but the planet Nep-
tune, which is many times larger than
the earth, and has a year equal to 1854
of our years, is 2.S9S million miles
away from the sun.
Just think Of having Christmas and
birthdays and other annual festivities
coming only once in 164 years.
The earth seems very large to us
until we begin to travel around it, and
it isn't very small. But just think of
how tiny it is compared with the mott
en-, massive ball, the sun, which is

Sunday Study

WORSHIPING THE GOLDEN CALF.
The International Sunday School
lesson for July q is found in Exodus
xxi, 1-S5. The golden text in Ex-
odus Xxx, 8. The first. verse of the les
son says: up, make us gods, which
shall go before u.s." Some one has said
that whenever we turn away from
leaning exclusively upon God either for
salvation or for the necessities of the
daily path we are virtually saying
up, make US gods" This is equal to
a rejection of God. These people had
not seen Moses nor heard from God
for several weeks, and, forgetting their
promise to obey, they fail to trust.
When Moses went up into the mount
to be alone with God, he said to the
elders, Aaron and Hur are with you,1
and he referred the people to them as
counSelors in his absence. Aaron was
Moses mouth or spokesman, and Mo-
ses was to him instead of God but,
Moses being absent, he, like a false
prophet, speaks out or his own heart
this evil advice. That they take their
golden ornaments and bring them I'M
to him, and out of which he made
images and said: "These be thy gods,
o Israel, which brought thee up out
of the land of Egypt" Instead of re-
ceiving from their hands the gold to
make an idol, they should have re-
ceiyed from his mouth the living words
of the living God. Through him who
should have led thena 20 the God of
glory they changed their glory into tbs
similitude of an OK. And Aaron built
an altar before his golden god, and
''the people sat down to eat and drink
and rose up to play"
And the Lord knew of the work of
Aaron and the doings of the people
and He said to Moses: They have
turned aside quickly, out Of the way
which [ commanded them" They
were not acting like the people of God;
they were not in His way. The Lord
suggests that He destroy the whole
nation and make of Moses a new ma
ton. Moses intercedes for the people
as the Lords people and is heard He
comes down from the mount, breaks
the tables, burns the calf, grinds it to
powder, scatterS it upon the water and
makes the people drink it,
Then Moses went before God to make
and atonement for the sins of his peo-
pie. Thus he puts himself between the
sinners and God as a mediator, con-
Tossing their sin and seeking atone
ment which implies Judgment upon
sin. He said his people had sinned
a great sin but he was willing to suf-
fer in their stead, if necessary, in Or
der to save them. The same spirit is
seen in Paul on behalf of the same
people Israel. The reality is seen in
Jesus Christ, who was actually suf-
fered for them and all peoples and
tongues.

A HINT FOR coueHERs.

Some chronic coughers seem a bit proud
OF the terrible noise they make. But it
is rather a costly noise for the simple
reason that it tears and infames the
lungs. The lungs consist of an extraor-
dinarlly delicate spongelike tissue, which
sometimes gets infiamed and choked with
phlegm. When we try to get rid of this
substance we cough. But obviously if
We remove it violently we must necessar-
liy lnJure the delicate lung tissue. There
fore train yourself to cough as gently. as
possible. After little practice you will
find it quite easy to do So In that way
you Will do minimum of mischief to the
lungs and add years to your life

Give Them a Bath

so the process goes on. But, while
Wiping the glasses cleanses them and
is necessary, bath is also required.
Every time the glasses are wiped fine
film of dirt is left on them and this
accumulates, and no wiping will clean
lt OFF. In time this coating gets quite
thick enough to blur the vision, even
though at a glance the glasses may ap-
pear clean. When this occurs the sight
is diminished and they come to me or
some other optician. What they ought
to have done was to give the glasses
bath in warm water, we'll scrubbing
them with small toothbrush and
soap and afterward wipe them This

EXTENSIVE USE OF BUNTING.

EXTENSIVE USE OF BUNTING.
The extent to which bunting is used
in this country may be realized when
it is known that some 100000 yards,
or enough of the material to make be-
tween 100000 and 100000 flags OF
one kind and another, were sold
throughout the United States last
year, said a wholesale dealer IN bunt-
ing in New York to a correspondent.
Bunting in use for flag making is of
two kinds, the wooden bunting, which
is the finest variety, and the cotton
goods, which are the cheapest, less
durable and less ornamental. The fab
ric comes in rolls usually of 40 yards
and it is worth from $1.50 to So per
yard, according to the quality.
The most expensive bunting, such
as is used by the United States govern.
ment for the manufacture or naval
flags, is composed entirely of wool of
the finest quality. The fabric is abso-
lutely free from imperfection and
weighs just 5A pounds avoirdupois,

width. The yard is evenly spun, and

Precious Stones

THE DIAMOND IS NOT CIT"
III reality the diamond is far less
beautiful than many other precious
stones. 1t simply reflects prismatic
colors and has nothing of it's own in
the way Of attractiveness. Many do
not wear opals because of the ill-Iuck
which superstition says clings to them,
yet the ancients thought the opal the
luckiest of stones. The oriental opal
is often very valuable and the Mexican
stone, while cheaper is very pretty and
brilliant. Set in silver, together with
pearls, this stone becomes SURPRISING

junction with diamonds.
