lions. an unknown ana now forgotten
writer said that had Professor Koch sue
ceeded In his aim It would have been the
greatest curse Imaginable to the human
race. Tho reason given for this SEEM

moral and social origins of the disease
would have been neglected. and the re-
lat!on OF moral and physical disease can
never be safely ignored NAHUM and
morbus arc often the same, at least 40
intimately connected that ono cannot be
eliminated from human life without the
other. The most striking proof OF this
now comes out in the fact that Koch
himself ndmlts and even breaches that the
great decrease In the deathrate from tu-
beroulosis has been due and will still be
due to sanitary and social better1nent
but chiefly to the Improvement In the
colMltlon OF the workingmen's lives

In the course OF his remarks. Mr.. Humid
lay took firm stand against all secular
work on Sunday. Sunday excursions. ne
declared to be an abomination. The peo-
ple who go on thcm go with no thought
OF doing honor to the Lord. He thought
recreation on the Sabbath and visits 10
the parks harmless. provided they did
not interfere with a proper observance OF
the Lords day. He also had word to
say about the Sunday newspapers.
Among other things he expressed the
hope that he would live to see the day
when there were none such. He was
rather doubtful. however. II this hope
would ever be realized.
Finally. Mr.. Hundley declared that ser
wants should not be made to work on
Sunday. They should work six days and
then stop. Sunday dinners could be
cooked on Saturday and eaten cold on

Mr.. Boyies said:
Just at this season there Is great
Temptation to desecrate the Lords day,
and this battle needs to ~be considered.
I am on record as most positively and
everlastingly opposed to Sunday excur-
sior,s. This whole Sabbath excursion
business Is a gross insult to God. We are
commanded to keep the Sabbath day
holy. Those who patronize the Sunday
outing scheme Of the devil wilfully and
knowingly violate this command of God.
There are religious denuminational news.

tomb on this subject, and they become
partakers OF other mems sins by their
inexcusable silence. The pulpit and press
are largely responsible for the gross and

are the mightiest agencies In the world
for God and humanity. It Is henrtrend-
