Religion and Medicine

sary as medicine, that the want Of reli.
gion frequently defeats the action Of
the best medicine.
Many a chronic invalid has searched
in vain for physical remedy simply
because he has lost his grip on vital
religion, the religion that not only pro-
vides salvation in the world to come,
but soundness of body and mind in the
world that is.
Yes, there is a most intimate rela-
ton between medicine and religion.
Other things being equal, the irrelig-
ious man stands a poor chance of get
ting well when he is sick, while the re-
ligious man frequently gets well in the
most astonishing way after the doctors
have all given him up to die. With a
firm faith in a rational religion and
an obedient use of the right remedy a
great many hopeless invalids could be
restored to perfect health.
Well. you have made 1t clear as to
what you mean by religion. But what
is the remedy you would recommend?
OF course would recommend differ
emit remedies for different conditions.
But the particular remedy that / am

loving Father controls the destiny
Of mankind are a 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 I am not
referring to any particular kind of re-
ligion. The Jew and the gentle, the
Catholic and the Protestant, each have
religion in which they believe. They
also agree in the essentials.
A religious man may believe that it
Is necessary for him to use every
means in his power to get well. He
may believe that it 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 a higher power that has
charge of his affairs, that absolute JUS
tice will be done MIN, that no evil thing
can befall good man. He goes for
ward with confidence, sick or well, rich
or poor, and gets great deal more
comfort out of life than the man who
has no religion.
1 have found myself saying many
times to people who have chronic all
ment, you need religion as we'll as
medicine. You need faith in an over
ruling providence that guides every
thing to wise ends; that the affliction
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 medi-
cine has a better chance to cure a man
who holds such 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 tC
do them any good. Therefore / say
that religion is often quite as neces-

Is there any intimate relation be-

Yes. there is. The time healer
was also the priest. Theology and
medicine have not maintained a sep

1t is well known of a person whr
eats with unthankfulness and i'll

medicine. If a person swallows a medi-
cine with suspicion, has no faith in its
action, is more or less afraid of the one

do him as much good as If he had un-
wavering faith In 1t.

MARRIED FOLKS SHOULD JOIN

There is too much of a dispo-
sition of our young and middle
aged married people to stay at
home and drop out of social
affairs feeling that the exertion
of getting out and arranging for
the care of the children during
their absence outweighs the
pleasure that is derived from a
dance or other social function.
AS a result the young people are
left to themselves too much,
with no further protection than
that afforded by the manager of
the hall, and the consequence is
that we frequently hear of i'm
proper modes of dancing and
other Objectionable conduct on
the part of the young people.
The Record believes that it is
the duty of parents and other
married and middle-aged resi-
dents of the community to join
with the young people in their
amusements, and if this is done
at the outset from a sense of
duty, it will be found that in a
short time a liking for social
pleasures will be engendered,
and soon it will be a hardship to
remain at home.
The young people, too. almost
invariably state that they enjoy
themselves better when there

given utterance merely to tickle
the ears of other lazy partici-
pants, and with no intention Of
being put into vogue? Or is it
another illustration of the Words
of Christ to his Apostles in the
Garden of Gethsemane. when he
said, Verify the spirit is will
ing, but the flesh is weak?"
Surely all our enthusiasm has
not ebbed away so soon! Ger
tainly there ought to be enough
public spirit in Cedar City to
keep the Goals of community
pride famed into some sort of
flame, and make it possible for
a Commercial Club to exist here
for more than one month out of
the year. For shame on us all!
Let's see to it that there is q
rousing attendance at future
meetings, and those of us who
have not come forward with our
annual dues, let's not neglect IL
any longer.
Cedar city cannot afford to be
without the uplifting influences
of live commercial club any
longer. and it is up to you pro.
gressive business men to see
that it is kept alive and full OF
vitality and ginger!

DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP"

About a month ago the Com
mercial Club of Cedar City was
reorganized and launched on its
years cruise by a banquet and
meeting at the Cedars Hotel.
At the meeting there was a good
representation of the business
men of the town. and a good
deal of enthusiasm was mani
tested. 1t seemed to be the con-
census of opinion that the club
had just entered upon a new
era. and that hereafter it was to
be made a prominent factor in
the development and advance
ment of Cedar City in particular
and Iron county in general.
Considerable of the work for
the present year was then out
lined and it was decided to hold
regular meetings. on the first Sat-
urday of each month, and special
meetings whenever the business
of the club demanded. At the
same time it was unanimously
voted to make the annual fees
So. 90 per member.
The first succeeding regular
meeting was to have been held
last Saturday night, and not
enough members were present
to form quorum for the trans
action of business. To addition
to this, The Record is informed
that only a very few members
have paid their dues into the
treasury, notwith landing the
action taken at the first meeting.
Now, gentlemen, what does
this mean? Does it signify that
the expressions given at the
banquet were merely hot air,

SHERIFF SMITH AND THE DESPERATE

Sheriff Andrew smith, Jr., OF
Salt Lake county is certainly a
wonder. The splendid general
ship that he has displayed in the
pursuit and siege of Raphael
Lopez. the Mexican slayer of
six men, who took refuge in the
Apex mine at Bingham, would
certainly do credit to a Darius
Green or Don Quixote. Such
exhibitions of cunning as he has
displayed in this widely adver-
tised case is certainly revela-
tion. 1t is probable, of course,
that all the credit (?) due for
this splendid pursuit and capture
(?) is not due to the sheriff OF
Salt Lake county, but represent
ing as he does the most populous
county of the state, it is only
natural that he would be expect
ed TO take the lead in the mat
ter, and that his suggestions to
a very great extent would have
been followed.
The first brilliant coup was
the sending Of a number of men
with lighted candles into the
tunnels of the mine to look for
a man who had already shot
down in cold blood four men.
Thus displayed they became ex-
cellent targets for the bandits
bullets, and two more victims
were added to the list of slain.
Next, when Lopez showed his
anxiety to get out of the mine
by trying to break a way

duty runs around the point OF

Then in the anxiety to regain
the bodies of the slain men in
the mine, the vigil at a number
of points was relaxed, and il
appears very possible if not pro
bable. that the Mexican then
made his escape from the mine,
and has not been there since,

mine.
Next the bulkheads are all re

again thrown open, and accord,

But his big gallery play comes

MANNERS A BUSINESS ASSET
English Lord Urges Boys to Cultivate
Politeness Because Of the Com
mereiaI Value They Give.

Lord Rosebery, speaking to some
English grammar school boys. dwelt
on the enormous commercial value OF
manners" He urged every boy pres
ent to cultivate manners mot for the
higher consideration" but because
they will give him value which he
will never possess without them"
His lordship neglecte dto specify
the particular commercial centers
where manners command premium
But 1t has not been observed that man
ners have much to do with business
success in New York. or for that mat
may be in London. If Wall street re-
garded manners aa possessing com
mercial value it would long ago have
capitalized them. But good manners
never looted traction system or or.
ganized trust or created the neces
sity for federal regulation. No captain
of industry has ever been indicted for
politeness, and the manners of rail
road presidents and bankers have not
been extolled for their suavity. says
the New York World.
The son-in-law of Lord Rothschild
apparently takes an academic view OF
manners. They have their uses in
some walks of life and are an asset to
creators of swollen fortunes who seek
to break into society" But generally
speaking, books of department do not
seem of much value to youths ambt
tious Of commercial success. The cap
tains of industry are not captains nj
courtesy.
