REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
s7natorium Where the Tuberculosis
May Be Cured ls Worth Much to
Any State or City.

DR.. H. L. Barnes, superintendent OF
the Rhode Island State sanatorium,
has recently demonstrated by some in
teresting studies of patients discharg-
ed as apparently cured" from that In
stitution, that sanatorium is sound
investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of 10 ex-patients OBJ
ta!nedi in 1911 amounted to s102.752,
and those of 211 cases in 1912 to s112,-
021. By applying the same average
earning to all ex-patients of the sana-
forum living in 1911 and 1912, Dr..
Barnes concludes that their income In
these two years was $551,OO0. This
sum is more than three times the cost
of maintenance of the sanatorium In
Guiding interest at per cent. on the
original investment and depreciation
charges. DR.. Barnes concludes, how
ever, while institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation Of far ad'
vanced cases would be still better In
vestments."

Everything Turned Into Blessing.

Everything turned into Blessing.
Nothing that is not Gods will can
come into the life of one who trusts
and obeys God. This fact is enough
to make our life one of ceaseless
thanksgiving and joy. For 1t is the
most glorious thing in the world; and
It is working in omnipotence for US all
the time, with nothing to prevent 1t II
we are surrendered and believing. One
who was passing through deep waters
of affection wrote to friend: SIS 1t
not glorious thing to know that, no
difference how unjust a thing may BIS.
or how absolutely 1t seems to be from
Satan, by the time it reaches us 1t is
Gods will for us, and will work to-
gether for good to us? For all things
work together for good to us who love
God. And even of the betrayal Christ
said, "The cup which my Father hath
given me. shall | not drink it," We
live charmed lives If we are living in
the center of Gods will. All the at
tacks that Satan through others sin
can hurl against us not only are pow
erless to harm us, but are turned into
blessings on the way. So let us praise
God for every new testing, knowing
that 1t is only going to reveal his love
the more. And let ns give God full OPP
portunity to return through us good
for evil under every attack, 30 low
ingly that the blessing shall not be-
limited to ourselves but shall be
passed on in fullness to many about
us-Sunday School Times.

IN SIMPLE PRAYER
Quotations From Matthias Clau'
dius-"A Letter to My
Friend Andrew"

Do you see, when l am going to
pray, think first of my late father.
how he was SO good and loved SO well
to give TO me. And then picture to
myself the whole world as my fathers
house, and all the people of Europe,
Asia, Africa and America are then, In
my thoughts, my brothers and sisters;
and God is sitting in heaven on
golden chair. and has his right hand
stretched out over the sea to the end
of the world, and his left full of bless
ings and good; and all around the
mountain tops smoke-and then l be-
gin:
Our Father who are In heaven. hal
lowed be thy name"
Here | am already at fault. The
Jews are said to have known special
mysteries respecting the name OF
God. But let all that be, and only
wish that the thought of God. and
every trace by which we can recog-
nize him, may be great and holy
above all things, to me and all men.
THY kingdom come"
Here | think of myself how 1t
drives hither and thither within me.
and now this governs and now that;
and that all ia sorrow of heart and
can light on no green branch. And
then think how good 1t would be for
me If God would put an end to all
discord and govern me himself.
"Thy will be done In heaven 30 on
earth"
Here picture to myself heaven and
the holy angels who do his will with
JOY, and no sorrow touches them, and
they know not what to do for love and
blessedness, and frolic night and day;
and then l think: If it were only SO
here on earth!
Give us this day our daily bread"
Everybody knows what daily bread
means, and that one must eat as long
as one is in the world. and also that 1t
tastes good. l think of that. Perhaps,
too, my children occur to me, how
they love to eat, and are so lively and
joyful at table. And then l pray that
the dear God would only give us
something to eat.
Forgive us our debts as we forgive
our debtors
It hurts when one receives an af-
front; and revenge is sweet to man.
1t seems to me, too, and my molina
ton leads that way. But then the
wicked servant in the Gospel passes
before my eyes and my heart fails,
and resolve that will forgive my
fellow servant and not say word to
him about the hundred pence.
"And lead us not into temptation"
Here | think of various instances
where people, in such and such cir
cumRtalcea have strayed from the
good and lave fallen; and that Il
would be no better with me.
"But deliver us from evil"
Here still think of temptations
and that man is so easily seduced and
may stray from the straight path.
But at the same time think Of all
the troubles of life, and the thousand
fold misery and heart sorrow that is
In the world to plaugue and torture
poor mortals, and there is none to
help And you will find, Andrew, ii
tears have not come before, they will
be sure to come here; and one can
feel such a hearty yearning to be
away and can be so sad and cast
down in oneself, as IL there were
| really no help at all. But then one
must pluck up courage again. lay the
hand upon the mouth and continue
as IL were, in triumph:
, For thine is the kingdom and the
, power and glory forever. Amen"

About 10 o'clock Monday, May

was over 70 years old and was one
of the old ante-bellum negroes
who remained faithful to their white,
friends to the last. AS slave he
was owned by Mrs. w. K. Living
ston and lived on her large estate
on Seneca river until the beginning
of the war. He was body servant
during the war to Whit Fitzpatrick.
brother cf Mrs. Livingston, and
when Mr.. Fitzpatrick died, Pink, still
loyal to his charge, brought the re-
mains home to "Old Miss" and was
a staunch friend to the Livingston
family as long as he lived.
Since the abolition OF slavery he
had been most faithful servant in
the family of the late Capt j. l..
Shanklin, whom he tenderly nursed
during the helplessness OF the last
IA years of his life. He was ever at
the post of duty. If physician had
to be summoned, no matter how bit
ter and disagreeable the weather.
Pink was ready to go. If the snow
was too deep for horse TO travel he
would cheerfully go afoot. The writer
of this sketch feels that in his death
she, her children and grandchildren
have not only lost a faithful servant.
but true friend. He willingly Of.

or colored. Iii winter he would say.

The pastor of ConerOss church,
