Native Woman Doctors.

The medical missions, not only of China
but of all n-Chrstian countries, are do
ing splendid work in equipping native
men and women for glorious service
among their people.
The most rapid and successful method
for evangelization of the heather world
is by the services of the medical mission
airy. The devout, earnest and able Chris
tian doctor can have hearing and an in
fluence that none others can have.
The skillful physician gains admission
where all others are shut out. This great
field of missionary endeavor is open to
both men and women. Woman doctors
are especially needed in many fields
where the customs of the people do not
permit to male doctors the opportunities
that open to those of the other sex i'm the
native family life. There are many faith
full and skillful woman physicians from
our own country doing noble work in the
nom Christian lands. The number is in
creasing. but not as rapidly as the need
demands.
There is great promise for the future of
medical missions in the program of med
ical education of young Chinese women in
this country
The first of these was Hu King Eng of
Foochow. She became a student helper
in the Woman's Hospital, then came to
the Ohio Wesleyan University and later
entered the Woman's Medical College of
Philadelphia. She graduated with honors
in 1894 and took special hospital work for
awhile, returning to her native city in
1895 as a regular medical missionary Of
the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society.
She was placed as head of the Woolston
Memorial Hospital. where, we are told,
her Christian love and medical skill
drew to her the hearts of hundreds Of
suffering women. A total Of more than
26. 753 prescriptions for the year 1909 par
tally indicates the extent Of her labor Of

Miraculous Healing.

The manifestation of this power by His
succeeding disciples may not exhibit so
distinctly it's miraculous nature, but of
all Christians it is declared that they
can do all things. through Christ who
strengtheneth them.
Christ's mission was Ito heal the brok-
en-hearted to preach deliverance to the
captives and recovering of sight to the
bruised and the furtherance of this mis-
sion is committed to and TO be carried
on by His followers in all ages.
If is not alone for the restoration OF
sight to the spiritually blind, but the
gifts of health. sanitation and improved
conditions of temporal life also are TO
be carried by ChriSt's missionaries to all
nations.
To the ignorant and superstitious people
of non Christian lands, the results of the
medical hospital. with its appliances for
relief and healing. appear as miraculous
as did PauIs healing of the man at
Lystra, who had been a cripple from his
mothers womb. to those who witnessed
the cure We are told that when the
people saw what Paul had done. they
lifted up their voices, saying in the
speech of Iycaonia- The gods are come
down to us in the likeness of men.
So the medical missionary who brings
relief to physical suffering is regarded
by the heather races as one having pow
err superior to that of which they had any
previous knowledge. 1t is something that
they can see and feel and therefore can
not deny and they are led to acknowledge
that it is a. gift from Christianity, for
those who first give them this ministry
of bodily healing are Christians. mus
the way is opened for the teaching and
preaching of Christs gospel.

such guards have been selected from the
district in and near the city OF Rome.
Their numbers Of late have dw1ndled,
chiefly because the hours were long, pre-
venting engaging in any business, and
their pay only about $40 month, with
almost no extras.
The Pope has now ordered that noble
guards be selected from ranks OF well-to-
do families in all parts of Italy, any part
of Europe. and if any desire to serve.

themselves outside the Vatican. whereas
those from the province. who receive

The new order is popular in the Cath

now regarded as likely that sons of noble

tied periods, partly for the honor and
partly for the unique experience the
places afford. Even Roman Catholic
