Particularly is It true of New York. vince this, the gent lest art of self-defense, has become a positive craze among society women, and where nine young girls out of ten in the fashionable set take their fencing les- sons as regularly and as much matter of course as they do their morning walks on the avenue or their afternoon drives in the park.
 They gain grace, suppleness and poisS under the direction of able foreign mas ter, often specially brought over from Paris for their private classes. which old CT women inclined to stoutness also ire ouent for the reduction of their too cor pulent curves. There are many expert fencers among these young women who handle the foils far better than any of the mimic heroines of olden times, who nightly display their two-minute skill before the footlghts while New York ap- plauds. The majority of these are mem- bers of the fencers club, which has us metings tri-weekly, under the direction or Louis Vauthier, noted maitre d'arme o- Paris, who came to America at the club invitation over ten years ago.

tie late for services. Doctors are always a little late. I think that is part of their education It is never dignified for a doctor to be on time. In prayer meeting we loved to hear the good doctor pray. We have heard good many great and noted ministers pray in our time' but we always thought the old doctor prayed better than any. He seemed to be so near to God-he had seen so much trouble. When the poor family over the hill was starving he bought them food out of his own pocket We never knew how much good he did until after the funeral He was part of every ones life. He was the poor mans helper. He was the rich mans friend.
 The Consecrated Doctor.
 One day the news went flying over the country roads. The doctor. the good doctor is sckr' Was it not too bad that he could not prescribe for himself and take his own medicine? If he had we know he would have become well. But he could pray. How he did pray in his own sick room! Then one day the news went over the country roads that the old doctor was dead. While we were gathering in the home where lay the wornout body of the tired old physician can imagine that the good doctor went up to the gates of the New Jerusalem.
  called out, 'Who is there?" The old Christian answered., ''Only poor worn out village doctor, who is advancing in Christs name. Can 1 come in?' Then the Lord God Almighty from his throne called out: Let him in! Let him in! Let the village doctor come inn And the angels in the celestial choir began to chime: Let him in. Let the village doctor come inl"Then all the redeemed spirits over whose earthly deathbeds he had lowered cried: Let him in. Let our village doctor come in!' Then Christ himself. the great Physician, came forth and led the wornout man to one of the highest thrones in heaven as he said: Come in, friend. Come in. This Is your throne For I was sick and ye visited mev'
 will you not believe In such conse- crated physician? Will you not believe that by the sick bed faith can go hand in hand with works and the surgeon s knife and that the physician's prescrip- tions have part in the civilization and the Christianization of the world? And will not you. O physician. be a Christian doctor, as well as you, layman' Christian patient?
 All honor, then. to our Christian phy- sicians, whose calling and office are thus divinely consecrated, and may blessing rest upon their earnest efforts for the alleviation of the physical afrlic- tions of the human race.
