Was Very Practical

Editor, Daily Times: Yesterday be-
ing Tuberculosis Sunday, Dir Barnett,
pastor of the Congregational church,
at the morning service, gave timely
discourse on the topic, Barre and the
Great White Plague" The discourse
was practical, pointed, appropriate
After brief explanation of tubercnl-
'losis as germ disease, its general
prevalence and great mortality
seventh of the human race dying Of it
the doctor plunged directly into tho
heart of his subject, treating it under
four heads;
First tuberculosis il not heredi-
tary The unborn child Is never in
feeted Nature forhids that outroge.
Second. The plague is communicated.
Like every other contagious and infee.
tious disease, the germ in many ways
passes from one person to another.
Every case comes from a previous one.
Third The plague Is preyentable
Every person, by using the right
means, may avoid it Do not breathe
or swallow the germs That's all
Fourth The disease Is durable. In
its incipient stages, rightly aud prompt
" treated it may be arrested and tile
patient restored to complete health.
Along this line there is great hope
All these points were well taken,
thoroughly discussed and brought home
to the people with telling Illustrations.
Throughout the discourse the au-
dienee paid marked attention, evident
" being deeply interested
By thus observing Tuberculosis Sun
day. DIR. Barnett has shown the people
Of Barre the wisdom Of its appoint
ment by the national association
Would every clergyman in the United
States, with every return Of this Sun
day, present this subject as intelli-
gently and foreibly to his audience,
what infinitely good results might
followf 1t would give to the people
the needed light, set them to thinking
and acting along the right lines and
thus do much to arrest and stamp out
the greatest physical curse of the
world the great white plague
