people, under the guidance Of the
best medical authority is that vac
cination is highly useful ameliora-
tive if not always preventative of
one Of the greatest scourges that
have in past times afflicted human
ity, and that the regulation of it by
statute is not only justifiable but
wise and bene6cent exertion of
police power over the public health.
When the Legislature goes beyond
that into new or more debatable
fields, it will be time enough to con
slider the limits of its power.
One expression in the opinion Of
the court below, and in some Of
the cases cited in the argument re
quires a passing note. The act is
not penal statute. 1t is broad
general act relating to the health Of
the whole population of the Com
monwcalth. 1t is not therefore to
be construed or administered by
the rigid technical rules applicable
to penal laws, but fairly according
to its intent. neither narrowing it
to the letter, to the exclusion Of
cases clearly WITHIN such intent,
nor stretching it beyond its iegiti-
mate scope to cover matters not
clearly meant to be included. 1t
is an act touching very closely
common rights and privileges and
therefore specially requiring COM
mon sense administration.
Decree affirmed.

men in the place across the street.
1t is said at the police station that
there was nothing in 1t, and that when
Officer Hollis arrived at the place no
men we're there and nothing was dis

to the effect that the yeggmen had a
man on guard and when the officer ap.

from its place in the rear of the store.

God Emptied Himself.

God emptied Himself and was
made in the form of man. OF what
did Christ empty himself? Christ did
not cease to be God In Him were all
the treasures of knowledge He was
none the less God when he took our
nature. OF what did He empty Him
self? He came not to be administer
ed unto but to administer, This emp
tying was to equip himself to admin
lister unto man. Jesus Christ had pow
er to work wonderful works but he
never worked them for himself You
read how the dead were brought TO
life. He saved others, Himself He
could not save
did He not possess the power to
save Himself? Oh, yes. But that was
power He had given up. This emp
tying was the REIMBURSEMENT of GER
tain rights. He was in the form of
God and He took upon Him the form
of man. What does God look like?
what ala CHRIST look ike? | don't
know. We have some suggestion Of it
On the mount they couldn't endure
the light of His countenanoe. He asso
ciated Himself with men. He goes
among men. That was the life He liv-
ed. How it must have appalled, Him.
He touched sin in its loathsomeness.
How He must have suffered After
three years it broke His heart.
what did He sacrifice for US? Did
He give His health, his time? He
gave more than that. He gave Him
self After having done all the rest,
He must give Himself. He must die
for men. Not only that-there Is a
separation between Him and the Faith.
