WORK OF THE SURGEONS.

II Is HOPED, because of the great i'm
provement in medicine, surgery and
hygiene, that the present European war
will show a marked decrease in the number
OF deaths from disease and wounds. There
has been steady progress on these lines for
nearly a century, and it has been most rapid
IN the last few years, during which time
mankind has mastered the science of santa
ton and the prevention or limitation of dis
eases.
Full returns from the front have, there
fore, been awaited with great interest. We
have little definite information as vet on
which to base any estimate, but scattering
figures are encouraging. It will, of course.
not do to include in the estimate the large
number of wounded who have been left to
die on the battlefield, because they have
been unable, in most cases, to receive treat
ment The fighting has been so furious and
so bitter at times that in most cases armis-
tees asked for to recover the wounded have
been refused, and thousands have been al
lowed to die on the battlefield for lack Of
removal or attention. But for those who
have com under the care of the surgeons
and the nurses the reports are most crafty.

nation concerning the war is spread by
word Of mouth among those who arv
able to give only slight attention to ths
course Of events, in view Of the astonishing
errors which are the work of newspaper
making high pretensions to accuracy and in
telligence. In a recent issue of one such
daily paper, there were three OUTSTANDING
and gross exhibitions Of ignorance in tho
discussion and presentation Of war news.
Two were in an editorial One spoke Of
"Ostend, the only real seaport Of Belgium"
thus placing a city which is noted chiefly as
a summer resort like Atlantic City and as 4
landing place for steamers plying across tho
English Channel ahead Of Antwerp, one Of
the three ports Of Europe that outrank al
the rest. To compare Ostend with Antwerp
as a seaport is almost like contrasting A.
lantic City with Philadelphia, or Newport
with New York.
In the same editorial the Germans ara
credited with holding "their lines across the
entire breadth of France" Take any man
OF France and draw lines to the frontier,
north to Belgium and east to Germany, from
a point one-third Of the way from Paris to
the Belgian boundary and it will be seen
at a glance how ludicrously far such lines
fall short of stretching across "the entire
breadth of France" About 4 per cent, per-
haps 5 per cent, Of the area of France is
inside the German lines, yet they are said to
extend across the entire breadth Of
France"
Blind leaders of the blind fall into many
bitches. Newspapers assuming to give IN
formation ought to avoid very gross and
obvious errors of their own.

IT is TRULY TOO BAD that, in spite of

Hard Knocks For EccIesiastics
Why should the professionally re-
ligious person. the man who makes
business of the affairs of religion,
so readily succumb to the funda-
mental temptations to avarice, self
aggrandizement, aristrocarcy and un-
brotherliness? We shudder as we
read Christ's terrific indictment of
the ecclesiastical leader of His time.
Nevertheless, we know from our OBJ
servation and experience that the
charges lie against the door of some
of their successors. FalSehood, ruth
less personal ambition, rank disloy-
atty to friends and to honor, total
lack of concern for the real work
of the kingdom-one can give names
and particulars in support of these
allegations against eminent eccles-
iastics; while many others, of course,
are real saints. Is 1t any wonder
that some brave men in the church
refuse to consider ecclesiastical posi-
tions?
Never was this particular teach
ing Of Jesus more timely than now.
This is the era of revolt against class
dominance. The churches feel this.
We have entered the day of demo-
cracy; and democracy demands and
must have sincerity as it's basis
Only true men are fit to govern
themselves and one another. The
moment pretense arrives, real demo-
cracy begins to depart. Truth in
the inward parts is the very life
blood of democracy.
And for that Jesus pleaded. Woe,
and only woe awaits the person who
builds up a religious life primarily
for other peoples eyes to see. Re-
ligion is not regulations: 1t is char
side of life. "The Father who seeth
in secret" is it's judge and rewarder
The faith taught by the Master
and the apostles is life hid" with
Christ in God;' it shuns the street
corners and the chief seats. There
is nothing professional or self-parad-
ing about 1t.
In this discourse which set His
hearers by the ears, the unconven-

the point, as a charge against the
lawyers, or interpreters or the sacred

preached, but did not practice. TIC

argued over and prescribed for other
people, and not new life and trans
formed character for ones self, 1t Is
only show and a pretense, as Jesus
said.
The Good Time Coming
Everybody is asking how we are
going to solve our clamorous social
problems. Some look overeagerly
to legislation. others pin their faith
upon the slow processes of educa-
ton. Still others merely trust to
luck. But the Jesus way, as here
indicated, is the fundamental way,
He wants social order based upon
sincerity and service. His program
for better world Is by better men
and women. The kingdom which He
| established. and upon which He pin
ned His faith, is made up of individ-
uals who accept His platform and
share His life.
! There have been eras wherein re-
ligious thought overemphasized in
dividualism; but forever the need
abides for men and women whose
lives are kept right in the sight Of
| God. Among the friends of Jesus
there is no divorce evil, no scandal
of double living, no oppression of
other men, no cruel wealth and no
bitter poverty. When the religion
Of the spirit reigns, and people live
with the supreme ambition to be
well-pleasing unto Christ, the inside
of the cup is clean, even If the out
side Is not polished.
