my audience that is the truth. Since I
 came to Chicago I have only been once
 of twice in city church. We medical students have to work so hard that when Saturday night comes we are dead tired out, so I always take my Sabbath for
 rest and fun" Alas, I know only too
 well that what you say may be true; that your life may be very similar to the hun dreds and thousands of young men who every year enter our large cities to get a
 medical education. l know that your
 statements may be too true, because
 scores of my old friends and classmates
 became physicians. They have told me 1 many of the temptations besetting a med
 ical students life. Besides that, I have lived among the young medical students
 not only in New York, but also in Phila- delphia But, though you may declare that since you have entered the medical school you
 have not lived a Christian life, yet there
 are still two or three tremendous facts
 by which I believe, you are going to be redeemed for. Christ and confess him and live for him as a Christian phys-

 wonderful truth tezstelI that nearly all the men who enter the medical or minis terial profession come from Christian | homes.

Thus, | young man. ,no matter where you go or | what you do you can never get away I from the many parental prayers which 1 have been offered in your behalf. TheS are always tugging. and pulling you to- | ward a better life. They are pulling your | heartstrngs now toward Christ.
 In the next place, you are not a homeopath in spiritual sense. You may | be a disciple of Hahnemann, as many of | you are, but in a spiritual sense you are
