We have a little volume entitled,
"Is it Worth While?" This is a
question that is often asked. Yes,
if the thing aimed at has an uplifting
and elevating influence, it is worth
WHILE
We often hear it spoken and we
read some times that the church
religion is losing. it's hold on the peo-
pie, and we are asked sometimes, if
the world is growing better or worse.
Those who say it is growing worse
point to the murders, homicides and
other crimes that are daily chron-
icled in the press. Yes it looks that
way, but is it that way? When we
look out over the world and see all
the efforts that are being put forth
to uplift the race-hospitals, orphan
homes, homes Of refuge, mission
work; and " IS of mercy innum-
erable-we say no. The Bible is
the most popular book today and
more copies of it are printed than Of
any other book in any one year. Three
hundred million copies have been
sold in 100 years. 100 years ago it
was only printed in 10 languages; to-
day it is sent forth to do its great
work of evangelizing the world in
$40 languages. Very recently it was
translated. into language that had
no name for supreme being, home,

that this work of bettering the world
goes on. and the time will come when
all the kingdoms Of this world will
become the heritage of the King of
Kings and Lord of Hosts.

 This is only another instance of how
 the best modern science at times falls in
 line with customs that have been prac- ticed for ages among savage peoples, who unlike their civilized brethren, seem to know instinctively what is best for their health. Travellers in equatorial Africa, India, the East Indies and South Amer ica speak admiringly of the fine teeth of the natives, and the pains they take in keeping them clean. Thus the native of Central Africa makes it his first duty after meals to wash his teeth, having ages ago discovered that this was absolutely
 necessary to good health. h

 Washington Post.
 At the close of the Spanish-American war the medical stan of the army, whose members had been carrying forward a number of investigations as to the causes of sickness and disease among the Amer ican soldiers in the tropics, were aston- tshed to find that bad or unclean teeth were among the most fruitful causes of sickness. Investigation showed further that in India the same trouble is encoun- tered among the British soldiers. With these facts at hand, the Department framed a bill. providing for the employ ment of fifty dental surgeons. as they are called, which passed both Houses of Con- gress. and became a law in 19'2.
 Twenty-Five of these dental surgeons are now stationed in the Philippines where the climatic conditions are such that men with bad teeth are unable to combat the germs of disease in the same successful manner as is possible in colder countries. They receive $50 per month, with the rank of first lieutenant, and are
