New England Admirer

Washington, May 10.-(Special) - Congressman John w. Weeks of Mas
 sachusetts, a consistent republican and
 one of the brightest members of the House, thinks Oscar Underwood is tho best man that the democrats can nom mate at Baltimore. He thinks MT. Ur- derwood is big enough, brainy enough, and safe enough. to fill this high post ten.
 MT. Weeks expressed himself freely
 on this subject a few mornings ago when he thought he was only talking in the hearing of a fellow republican and a New York republican newspaper man. But ho was on a Pennsylvania avenue street car on the way up to the capitol When a man talks on a
 street car he is liable to be overheard by people that may not seem to be listening.
 | I heard the name Underwood and perlSed u1 my ears. I was just across the aisle. I did not know Weeks and thought he was a loyal Underwood democrat. His
 praise was direct and sincere Among | ether things he declared that If the dem ocrats are wise they will nominate this
 man Underwood at Baltimore. He is the 1 safest and best man in the party. There are thousands of republicans in this coun- l try who would not hesitate to vote for Underwood If he should be nominated and elected the country would be in safe
 hands and the party he is so ably lead | ing in Congress would be greatly hon | ored."
 | The newspaper man in the group after
 ward told me who the new republican champion of Underwood is.
 | But we hear expressions like this about | Underwood every day in Washington. w. H.

Meshes of Skepticism

AS my last word, I warn you to avoid the meshes of scepticisms. Avoid them for your own sake. If you have no care for yourself, at least respect the faith of your patients. A strong belief in God and heaven constitutes the only wealth of many homes. What right has a physician to take into a home of this description his brigandish doubts, robbing them possibly of their all? Only weak minds and debase'l hearts esteem it a mark of intellectual superiority to doubt religion.
 That there are honest doubts that do not owe their origin to a bad heart or weak mind. I readily admit. I speak of the other class that is wanting in a decent respect, to say nothing of rev crence for truth of which it believes little knows less and cares nothing.
 "Os all men who should steer clear of the sunken and fatal rocks of scep- ticsim, none should give them wider AertE than the physician. Go forth to your life work armed with strong faite, with the assurance of the presence of the Great Physiclan,' and like Him go about doing good.' Whatever your lot may be, accept it and do we'll your mart, for in this all the honor lies. Look with compassionate eye and ten der heart upon the wretched and suf- fering world groping in the dark around you, seeking relief and light from your benevolent hand and active brain Do not allow yourself as the world says, to Go down the hill of life to the grace. Never! No well spent life is a down hill process. Climb by gocl deeds the mount of life, and like Moses with undimmed eye and unabated strength, leave the earth for heaven from some Pisgah's sunlit height.
