OLD TIME SURGEONS.
They Had to Work Rapidly Before
Aniesthetics Were Used.

sNCAC SHCu.
Before anGsthetics were known the
surgeons only expedient was to abridge
his patients sufferings by working
rapidly. In this the old time surgeons
did wonders. They had control and a
surety in their hands that are now sell
dom found. One day the celebrated
surgeon Maisonneure had to amputate
the leg Of poor devil who began to
howl in advance. "I'll give you my
watch" said the surgeon, " the oper-
alton lasts more than a minute The
man accepted the offer, but was obliged
to forego the handsome watch, as the
operation took less time than it re
Quires to describe.
To amputate an arm at the shoulder
is most difficult opera ton. D.. Lam
genbeck of Germany did it in two min
utes. A young physician who came to
see him perform the operation adjusted
his spectacles to his nose so as not to
lose single movement, but when the
spectacles were in place the operation
was over. and the severed arm lay on
the floor.
Times have changed much since then.
1t suffices to put bit of chloroform or
ether on compress and let the patient
breathe through it for a few minutes
to put him into slumber so deep that
he remains inert while the surgeon
makes his incision, cuts, files the bone
and sews up the flesh. On awaking the
operation is over, and the patient
knows nothing of it. Thanks to chloro-
form, surgeons can practice operations
today which arouse our admiration.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR.


Topic For the Week Beginning Feb.
21-COmment by Rev. 8. H. Doyle.
Topic.-Some good ways of using the
| Sabbath.-Mark l. H-34.
For many generations the stress laid
upon the Sabbath has been from a
| negative rather than an affirmative
| standpoint The emphasis has been
placed upon what we should not do
rather than upon what we should do.
And it may be that if more time and
| thought had been given to the things
| to be done less would have needed to
be said upon the subject of what we
should not do. The best way to over
come evil is by the substitution of
good. "Cease to do evil, learn to dc
WE'LL says the prophet Isaiah but the
best way in all the world to cease to
do evil is to learn to do well. He who
does well will have neither time noi
inclination to do ill. So he that keeps
the Sabbath day will have 10 time to
break it. He that fills every hour Of
this day with things that are permits
sible will have no time to engage in
those things that are prohibited by the
laws of God and of man.
What, then, are some good ways of
using the Sabbath? The incident Sc
lected for our study is that of Christ
at Capernaum on Il certain Sabbath
day. There He entered into the syna-
gogue, taught and healed man pos
sessed of an evil spirit. and in these
events we may learn how we may
make Il good use of the Sabbath.
/. On the Sabbath day we should
worship God in the public place of wor
ship. The public worship of God has
always been exacted of His people 1t
is not enough to have private devo-
tons in the home, nor will the admira-
ton of God in the works of nature suf-
fee; we must not "forsake the assem-
blying of ourselves together The
soul needs to worship God. and this
public worship would protect us from
many temptations to break the Sab
bath. The Office or business place
could not be visited, the morning could
not be spent in reading the Sunday
newspapers, all day visits could not be
made to friends, keeping them from
their duties to God, if we regularly
worshiped God in His house on the
Sabbath.
2. On the Sabbath day we could be
engaged in teaching. Christ entered
into the synagogue and taught
Teachers are needed in the church, in
the home and in various other places
on the Sabbath day. Children in the
homes need to be taught the Bible and
Christian duties With few exceptions
our Sabbath schools need faithful and
efficient teachers, and outside of these
there are non-ChTistian homes where
the teaching of the word of God would
be welcomed, and public charitable in
situations where the same would be
true. Teaching Gods word is a good
work, and many could do it who are
now spending the Sabbath in idleness.
g. On the Sabbath day we should do
good to others. Christ did good upon
the Sabbath. So may and should we
upon the same day. Many about us
need our sympathy, encouragement
and help. If we would give it as liter
ally as the Master did we would not
want for good uses to make of the Sab
bath day

Ralph M. Easely Predicts Wild
ened Scope of the Civic
Federation
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WRITES
Expresses Sympathy With the Pur-
poses of the Organization and Pays
Fine Tribute to Marcus Hanna,
Its Former President-The General
News.

New York, Dec. 15.-Creation of an
international body based upon the ma
tional civic federation as it exists at
present in this country was forecasted
by Ralph NJ. Easley, chairman of the
executive committee Of the national
committee of the National Civic Fed
day. The meeting of the committee
was executive. Samuel Gompers pre-
sided. Andrew Carnegie was present.
A letter from Roosevelt was read In
part, as follows:
II greatly regret my duties here do
not admit my attending the annual
meeting of the national civic, fedora
ton. but tho cannot take part In the
conference or be present at the dinner
in connection Herewith / am sure you
understand l am in hearty accord and
sympathy with the purposes of the ma
tional civic federation in its efforts for
establishment of more rightful relations
between employers and employees. 1t is
a movement. SO praiseworthy and so
thoroughly American In conception
that it should as matter Of course
receive the earnest support Of all good
citizens who are awake to the vital
needs of our nation. Views upon econ
omic and sociological problems often
differ. There can be, however no di-
vision of opinion that the highest aim
of all should be toward establishing an
ever closer basis of mutual respect and
friendship relations between employers
and workmen."
After paying tribute to the late Mar
Gus A. Hanna, former president of the
federation, the letter concludes:
You are about to elect a president
to fill the vacancy caused by his death
and am sure your wise judgment will
enable you to choose some man able
to carry on in his spirit and with his
power the great work Of your associa
tion Again permit me to assure YOU
of my entire sympathy with your or
ganization, which has done so much
and which If rightfully conducted,
am confident will achieve as much
more in the interests of the people OF
our common country. Yours sincerely,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
