a loving Father controls the destiny
of mankind are q great deal better
prepared to meet the vicissitudes OF
life and to overcome disease than the
one who has no such faith. A truly
religious man makes a better patient
than an irreligious man.
In using the word religion am not
referring to any particular kind Of re-
ligion. The Jew and the gentle, the
Catholic and the Protestant, each have
a religion in which they believe. They
also agree In the essentials.
A religious man may believe that 1t
Is necessary for him to use every
means in his power to get well He
may believe that 1t Is perfectly proper
for him to employ doctors and take
medicines But he also believes that
when he has done the best he can
there Is q higher power that has
charge of his affairs, that absolute JUS
tice will be done him. that no evil thing
can befall g. good man. He goes Tor
ward with confidence, sick or well, rich
or poor; and gets great deal more
comfort out Of life than the man VINO
has no religion.
I have found myself saying many
times to people who have chronic all
ment, "You need religion as well as
medicine. You need faith In an over
ruling providence that guides every
thing to wise ends; that the af1liction
of disease teaches a lesson that every
one should strive to learn"
This does not mean that sick people
are to sit down and trust that an over
| ruling providence will do everything
| Nothing of the sort He is to use RENE
dies guided by his best judgment, but
in the use of them he can believe that al
things are well and that in the end al
things will come out right Any medl-
cine has a better chance to cure a man
who holds such q faith.
| Some men are SO faithless and un'
believing, so restless and desperate
their minds so unsettled, that even the
best of medicine has little chance te
do them any good. Therefore l say
that religion is often quite as neces-

A German medical journal draws at
tention to q possible factor In the
spread Of infectious conditions Of the
mouth, nose. and pharyn1 that ia not
sufficiently recognised In many house
holds. It points out that common table
utensils, such as forks, spoons and
glasses, which come into contact with
the mouth. are usually washed alto
gether, often with little care, and
dried on the same cloth. This gives
great opportunity for the distribution
Of infectivs agencies. For This reason
particular care should be exercised In
families where any member may be
suffering from an infectious disease to
sterilize the table utensils used In
boiling water. People who complain Of
rcatchins cold In many instances are
merely catching infection from little
understood and preventahls sources.
