DOCTORS LESS SELFISH
THAN OTHERS, SAYS DIVINE
Don't Oppose Pure Milk Cam
paign, Tho Pockets Suffer.

Religion and Medicine was tie sub
ject on which the Rev. John ]. Moment
preached yesterday morning in the
High Street Presbyterian Church. Mr..
Moment said in part that he had little
sympathy With modern movements
aiming to bring back the art of healing
into the fold of the church.
He contrasted the spirit Of the medi-
cal profession with that of men in Ger
ain other occupations.
We look to the physicians" he said,
for he public health; we expect them
TO regard such projects apart from any
consideration of the profits accruing to
the profession, and We arc never dis
appointed. We could moi think Of a
physician opposing a pure milk CAM
paign because OF the fees which he eX-
pected to reap from the sick babies.
Yet when a group Of manufacturers.
farmers and tradesmen oppose a move
ment making for ttS public good,
frankly and openly ecaus their
profits are to be affected. we arc not
even surprised.
THE physicians, however, have not
relieved the rest of us from all respon-
sibility for the care of the public health.
Rather they have opened our eyes to
the extent of our obligations. The really
religious rites which God demands OF
us in connection with the sick consist
of a ministry of fresh air and sun
shine. good food and decent bones

COULD REALIZE UTOPIA
FOR COST OF MILITARISM.

'Militarism, the Curse of Civiliza-
ton" was the subject of the sermon
by the Rev. Henry r. Rose, in the
Church of the Redeemer yesterday
morning. He said in part;
."When d nation like ours is paying
$156, 900, 900 for an army and $123, 200. 900
for a navy in times of peace and $780,
600, 900 for pensions is it not time for US
to ask ourselves where we are heading?
Battleships and ornaments in the fu-
ture will be even more enormously eX-
pensive than they are today, and there
Is no telling how terrific the drain will
be upon our ~esource to keep on a war
footing. Every penny of this expense
out of the people, and in addi-
ton We are forced TO pay millions OF
dollars toward paying for foreign
armies and naVies by the increased
cost of goods we import from the old
world. This money, if put into schools
and sanitation and reforms, would adj
vance nation to the verge of per-
lection, AS things now are civilization
Is being cursed and held back.
president Taft suggests thai Amer
lea and Great Britain come to an
agreement never to go to war with each
other under any circumstances but to
settle all questions in a permanent
our of arbitration, just as individuals
now settle the most delicate questions
by law. This is the greatest proposal
of modern times and ought to be rati-
fed by NJ congress and enthusiastic
cally Endorsed by. the whole American
people. 1t will go a long ways toward
bringing other powerful nations to a
similar agreement with us and with one
another, and thus put an end to stand
ing armies. Public opinion is abso-
lutely necessary and if We are on the
side of President Taft we ought TO
manifest it and encourage others to in
dorse his plan"

DANGEROUS RELIGIOUS CRITICS.

Those critics OF the Bible who on
tend hat the great book is not the
word of God, but only contains his
word. were branded as the most dan
gerous of religious critics. in a sermon
yesterday by the Rev. Robert Scott
Ingiis. pastor of the Third Presbyte-
rian Church. DR.. Inglis said, in part:
The concessionary statement that it
contains but Is not the word Of God
is contradictory. 1t is illogical. 1t is
cowardly. 1t fears to go to the limit
OF its reasoning. 1t denies as truth
what is contradictory to human expert
ence. 1t is contrary to human expert
ence that a man should walk on water.
Therefore, they argue hat it cannot be
true. at least that il cannot be be-
lieYed"

TO ERADICATE TUBERCULOSIS.

The best way to eradicate consump-
ton is to teach patients how to take
care of themselves, in the opinion Of
DR.. Ralph Hunt, who gave a talk on
tuberculosis in Grace Episcopal
Church, Orange. yesterday.
Il feel that persons nay live in
safety with tubercular patients II such
will do as they are instructed he
added. The public is lahoring under
n delusion, however. when It thinks
that the cure for the disease consists
merely Of milk, eggs and fresh air,
and there seems to be q lack OF will
~ingness among patients to follow Il
system for any period of time.
Through vivisection alone We hay,
learned what TO do concerning tuber-
culosis. Those who through sympathy
with animals decry vivisection should
think of the immense good thus DONE

Lieutenant Smith said he resigned at
the request Of Admiral Murdock w'- o'
making q fight before q court-mirtial on
account Of the seriousness O.. tle cn4rges.
The word of other officers alone stood
against his denial, he said, and as his

he could no longer remain in the navy.
