WELL PERSON NOT AFFECTED
Residence In or Near Tuberculosis In
stItution Denied to Be Dangerous
to the Healthy.

Among the most significant opinions
expressed in a pamphlet on THE Eff
feet of tuberculosis Institutions on the
Value and Desirabi1ity of Surrounding
Property" issued by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
Of the largest life insurance companies
in the United States. These COM
panies were asked If residence In q
tuberculosis sanatorium by a healthy
individual was considered an adverse
factor In issuing insurance and also II
residence in the neighborhood Of a
sanatorium constituted such an adj
verse factor. Two of the companies
answered the first question in the af-
f1rmative and two in the negative, but
every one Of them answered that resi-
dence lear a tuberculosis sanatorium
was not considered an adverse factor
In issuing life insurance.
DR.. Edward L. Trudeau, who built
the first tuberculosis sanatorium in
the United States in 1885, says:
when l bought the first land on
which the Adirondack Cottage sani-
forum is built, l paid s25 an acre for
it, but the price was then thought abb
surdly high. My last purchase Of i've
acres cost me $4,000. To my knowl-
edge, there has never been an en-
ploye who came to the sanatorium in
sound health who developed tubercu-
losis while there; and a sanatorium
a no more endanger the health of
the neighborhood in which it is built,
even if the residences are at it's very
gates, than it could if it we're placed
or top of a high mountain miles away
from habitation."

Mans Continuous Evolution.

The whole trend of modern thought,
philosophical and scientific, is to bring
man mor and more into unity with
the life of all living things, and to
reveal our vital oneness with the one
all-embracing Life. Man has had an
organic evolution from the earth-life,
and has steadily risen to the realm Of
spiritual consciousness, where an un-
ceasing evolution Is to be his divine
heritage.-The Christian Register.

Do You Drink III

A minister's wife had quite a tus-
sic with coffee and her experience is
interesting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty,
| became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and it was quite
natural that l should want a hot u
of coffee about that time. / could

After three Of four year of cof-
fee drinking, 1 became a nervous wreck
and thought that l simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time

tacks, sometimes so severe as to
keep me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so 1 resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.

Disannointment.

One Of the stories that President
Wilson tells is of a small boy whom
he encountered at Staunton, Va. The
president was speaking to a crowd
from the steps of the Baldwin Semi
nary for Girls. The boy pushed and
showed his way through the crowd
until he found himself squarely in
front of President Wilson, whereupon
he shouted, exctedly:
Where is it? Where is it?"
Mr.. Wilson stopped his speech, and
with a broad smile said, good-natured-
ly: We'll, my boy, l guess l am it. >

BAKER BATS HARD

The figure of John Franklin Baker
looms up so largely in the history of
the worlds series that he overshad-

baseman. AS far as actual mechan-
ical playing goes, Smith has shown,
since he joined the Braves, that he is

ed for the Superbas. Smith was err
ratio in Brooklyn, and his poor work
is said to have been due to the fact
that he was not satisfied with his sur-
roundings.
Just as soon as Smith started to
play third for Boston the work Of the
team improved. He filled in the last
gap which Stallings needed to build
up his club. Smith has not only prov
ed to be capable of playing up to the
high standard of defense established
by the other infelders, but has prov
ed a timely and a hard hitter.

Snces there is } big difference be
tween the work of Baker and Smith
Baker has hit at a 1916 clip, while
Smith at the present time is hitting
only .266. Smith is, of course, an un
tried mar in the worlds series play.
Manager Stallings thinks so well OF
him that he believes that Red" will
be just as good a man in the big show
as Baker. However, Smith has not
shown quite enough to up
this high opinion his manager has
of him. 1t is Bakers great resource.

TO OBTAIN MERCY
Consciousness of Sin and I'm.
Worthlness Must Always Be
the First Requisite.

1t IL important to know how mercy
may be sought SO as to be found. In
the familiar words concerning the
Pharisee and the publican, we have
the way to mercy divinely pointed out.
The first requisite is a sense of per
sonal guilt-"God be merciful to me
a sinner"
Individuality and personal account
ability to God must be recognized be-
fore any acceptable plea fur mercy
can be presented.
Every man must give an account
Of himself to God" Every soul must
bear its own burden"
There must be grief on account OF
sin. The Pharisee had no conviction
OF unworthiness, and, therefore, no
sorrow for sin. He did not feel any
need Of mercy, and did not pray for 1t.
Yet he prayed. He prayed with him
self, not to God, saying: God, 1
hank thee, that I am not as other
men are. 'extortioners, unjust, adulter-
ers, OF even as this publican"
He felt himself to be "rfch. In
creased in goods and in need OF moth
Ing" and to all such God says: Il
VIII spue thee out of my mouth"
How different with the publican!
He "smote his breast" indicating the
heart as the seat of grief, on account
OF the consciousness Of sin and un-
worthiness. The chief element In true
repentance is a sense Of the offense
our sins are offering to God.
There "a be no repentance toward
God" until the soul feels that:
Against thee. thee only, have 1
sinned."
I have sinned against heaven and
In thy sight"

True FeeIIno of crief

The feeling of grief is produced in
recognizing the sinfulness OF sin in
Gods sight, and in realizing the in
jury it inficts on ourselves and the
harmful influence it exerts upon 9TH
ers.
The publican "smote his breast" In
expression Of his passionate grief over
his sin against God, his own soul and
his fellow-man. He cried for mercy,
bowling his heart In humility and
shame before God.
He stood afar of, denoting that he
felt unworthy to draw near to the
sacred precincts of the temple, and as
though his presence would desecrate
the holy place. His humility is fur.
Their shone in his not lifting "up so
much as his ayes unto heaven"
The Psalmist expresses this
thought in the words: my sins have
taken hold Of me so that am not
able to look up"
The perception of divine purity al
ways produces a deep sense of hui
mility in the sinners heart and
prompts the prayer, God, be merciful
to me, a sinner"
Mercy is the sinners only plea. He
does not pray for justice. Weighed
In the scales Of justice he must be
found wanting. and has nothing to ex-
pect but punishment.

Seeking for Mercy.

Note that the publican had convic-
ton of personal guilt, sorrow on &C
count Of his unworthiness and deep
humility of heart. These are the con
ditions for acceptable approach to God
In prayer.
Then note the object and character
Of his prayer. The object was
mercy" It's character was brief and
simple, but sincere and earnest.
1t was a very short prayer. Only
seven words, but the longings Of the
soul were in them and they were pre-
sented in the way of Gods appoint
ment. He went up to the temple to
pray" He was seeking God where he
is always to be found by those of "a
broken and contrite heart"
Would you find mercy?
Seek 1t as the publican did in the
spirit of humility and with confession
Of sin, offering unto God the sincere
and earnest s~upplication of the heart:
God be merciful to me, a sinner"
There was a very happy result fol-
lowing the publican's going up to the
temple to pray.
He went down to his house justi-
fed" Not SO with the proud Phari-
see. He went away abashed.
For every one that exalteth himself
shall be abased, and he that humbleth
himself shall be exalted"
