disease OF leprosy The healing OF the
leper by Jesus appeals to the popular
imagination. -. ts%SE ~ ~
Having seen scores and hundreds of
lepers in all, stages of the dread NAL
ady, l can understand why this should
be popularity accepted as the best type
Of sin. Well do l recall the blazing
day when l visited the leper asylum
at Allahabad; and one poor fellow,
whose hands had rotted off leaving
him only stumps of wrists, came up
and pleaded for a bed on which to
sleep. He had been lying on the ground
and the white ants had bitten him;
and he was unable to brush them off.
That same day saw a beautiful young
Christian woman, who was making the
most of her lifelong exile by teaching
the other women and children, Similar
ly in Japan. had seen, in Christian
leper asylum-and there were no gov
eminent asylums, guarantees or reg
ulations in Japan for lepers until two
or three years ago-a teacher who was
spending what was left Of his days in
Trying to llindle the lamp Of learning
and of faith in the breasts of his fell
lows.

An enlargement Of what christianity
is doing today for lepers in many parts
Of the East is as near as we can come
to- duplicating the miracle of Jesus.
He cleansed the faith-filled leper and
sent him on his way rejoicing. That
joy is beyond our power to appreciate.
The nearest approach to it in mod
ern experience occurred recently at
the leper asylum on the island of Mo-
lokai. Hawaii. There the government
physicians have been making an eX-
animation, and they reported that at
least fifty Of the exiles were untainted
and entitled to their liberty The dis
patches merely intimated the Joy Of
the friends and families. and the ex-
element among the patients as yet
unexa mined: but it was reported that
the men and women who had sudden
ly come upon freedom were fairly de.
dirious with happiness. The picture
which the cables thus outlined like
the one drawn in Matthew's gospel,
merely typifes the far greater Joy OF
the person who has been suddenly de-
livered from the thralldom and doom
of sin. ....

The most self-confident person is

lived have confessed themselves out

conquered by it. The wise Bacon made
a failure Of it. To go through the

There are no untraveled roads in hui
man experience for Christ. He walked
solitary way where men had never
been before: and he also trod all the
familiar highways of life. He shared
every mortal experience. that he might
be the sympathizer and friend OF ev-
erybody on earth. No matter how dark
the night Of sorrow and perplexity, no
matter how heavy the burden, Jesus
knows. He shares. He is qualified by
his own human experience to be guide
and counsellor. And the greatest re-
ward of trouble is that it often leads to
friendship with Christ.

THE WORK THAT WARRANTS THE
WORD.
The international Sunday School Les
son for March 6 is, "Jesus the
Healer" Matt. 8:2-17. ..-.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

Three great stories, a startling dec
iaration, and divine principle COM
prise this weeks Sunday school les
son, as set forth in the sixteen verses
from Matthew's gospel. The stories are
Of deeds that show the Great Teacher
as the Great Doer; his actions vindi-
eating his utterances; the Sermon on
the Mount being practiced on the
plain. They are deeds Of healing, fig
uring forth the divine principle OF the
mission Of the Vicarious Redeemer =
".Iimself took our infirmities and bare
our sicknesses" The proposition
which startled the hearers of Jesus
even more than it surprises us. con-
cerned the: entrance of the heathen
Into the Kingdom ahead Of the chill
dreD Of the Promise.
While the thought of more than two
myriad millions of people is concen-
trated on this particular people in the
Pook of books there is some danger
..1at the miracles of healing will be in
terpreted to stress unduly the import
anoe of health. That is tendency OF
the times. Good health is being apo
theosized as the supreme good But it
is not The glory of humanity is that
it can think great thoughts and do
great works despite the hindrance OF
physical infirmity. No doubt we should
rejoice to see that the world is coming
to see that the body, which is the
spirits only tool. should be better
cared for and not SO shamefully mis-
used. That is wholesome. None the
less, the health faddist needs to be re-
minded occasionally that some of the

MATH TESTS HARD
Candidates Say Algebra And Geometry
Tests We're Difficult

Tests We're Difficult
Despite the announcement from Off
cial sources that the examinations
given the candidates for entrance to
the Naval Academy were not of an
unusually severe nature, reports from
good sources indicate large number
to have failed to meet requirements in
mathematics, especially in Algebra
and Geometry.
Many of the candidates themselves
state that the tests were hard, partic-
ularly the questions in geometry and
Algebra which were propounded to
them, and it is reported from one
source that only 25 passed in geome-
try and 35 in algebra. In the other
branches the number of successful
ones is said to have been greater,
though, on the whole, an ususually
large number fell down on the exam
nations.
The academic board, which has to
do with the scholastic work at the
Academy, has completed the marking
of the papers and will meet today
to finally pass upon them and make
up list of those who passed. With
such situation confronting them,
which precludes getting in anything
like as large class as expected, it is
said the papers will be remarked and
the standard lowered to some extent,
in order to make up larger class and
leave it to the boys themselves tC
spruce up and toe the mark before
the semi-annual examinations in Feb
ruary roll around.

TYPHOID ON THE CRUISE
Midshipman r. E. Byrd OF Second Class
The Second Victim

That typhoid fever has developed
among the midshipmen of the sum
mer squadron is much regretted here,
but it is hoped the disease will not
spread, and will end with the second
case reported.
Another midshipman on the practice
squadron OF the United States Ma
val Academy has fallen victim OF
typhoid fever. The Navy Depart
ment received cablegram yesterday
from the commander of the squadron
now in Plymouth, England, stating
that Midshipman Richard Evelyn
Byrd, Jr., second class, on the Massa-
chusetts, had been transferred to the
Royal Naval Hospital, suffering from
typhoid fever. 1t was reported that
there were no other cases.
When the squadron arrived in Eng
land Midshipman G. A. Smith, of Hi.
nois, Stationed on the Iowa, was taken
to hospital with typhoid fever.
Midshipman Byrd is the son of Rich
ard Evelyn Byrd, of Winchester and
Richmond, Speaker of the Virginia
House of Delegates. Speaker Byrd
says his son is an athlete and full OF
vitality and should survive this i'll
ness.
The authorities at the Naval Acad
envy received word this morning of
Midshipman Byrd's illness of typhoid
