OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

flow of blood and if no others are
admitted the cut surfaces unite with
out any pus showing. This is the re-
suit to be hoped for, and the aim of
proper treatment.
Knowing that the chief danger from
all minor wounds lies in the possi-
bility of their infection by malignant
germs, we have the key to their
proper treatment. This is exceeding
ly simple, calling but for two things;
first. the attainment of cleanliness
in and about the wound, and, sec
ond, the maintenance of that cleanli-
ness.
Soap and water are nearly always
at hand. The early use of these will
often render the use of surgical meas
ures, later, unnecessary. A roll of
soft white cloths that have been
washed and ironed should have a
place in every home where they may
be ready for an emergency Some
pure white soap and water that has
been boiled, and is still hot, complete
very satisfactory emergency equip
ment.

Says That All Flat Dwellers Should
Raise Bees.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 19.-That all
city fiat jewellers should raise bees,
that small hive costing IS will yield
enough to keep the average family in
honey for a year. was the contention
of Frank c. Pellet, State bee in
spector of Iowa, speaking here be-
fore the annual convention of the
National Beekeepers' Association.
On the window sill of the ordinary
city fiat, Mr.. Pellet said, it is en-
tirely practicable to keep a hive of
bees. If there are no yards with
trees and flowers surrounding the
fat it is easy to keep potted flowers
on the window stills, adding to the
beauty of the fats homelike APP
pointments and at the same time pro-
viding sust for the bees.

This Age Beats the Elizabethan.

This Age Beats the Elizabethan.
From the New York Times
I'VE talk of the Elizabethan age,
the Victorian age, the Golden age,
Rear-Admiral Peary said at the din
ner of the Delaware Valley Society
on Saturday, and he reminded the
guests that those who shall live a
year longer will have seen in five
short years the North and South Poles
discovered and the Atlantic and Paci-
fic united. They will have seen, too,
great extensions of wireless tele-
graphy and of the use of stabilized
flying machines, with perhaps a rec
ord of some mans flying across the
Atlantic. Professor Soddy, who, with
Sir William Ramsay, found that ra-
dunn is a transmitting element, told
the British Association last fall that
the world must soon prepare for the
announcement that a method of accel-
Grating the outgo of energy from ra-
dunn has been devised, together with
the means of transmitting all the
other eleemnts. that would tap sup
plies of atomic energy that are mex
haustible, of which steam and cleo
tricity are secondary and insignifi-
cant offshoots.
If half the promise of this age is
fulfilled, it should compare well with
the other ages of human history.
Thus far they have recorded great
material discoveries and literary ac-
tivities, as in the age of Queen Eliz-
abeth; profound changes in religious
belief. as in the age of Luther, or
periods of conquest like those of Ju-
Illus Caesar and Napoleon. This is the
age of scientists. They, too, make
material discoveries of vast moment
and the sidelights they throw on the
psychology of man and his earthly eX
istence have deeply changed the cur
rents of the worlds thinking.

More Going Into the Ministry.

More Going Into the Ministry.
From a Bulletin of the Auburn IN. "
Theological Seminary.
Professor r. H. Nichols, of Auburn
Theological Seminary, has found a
new answer to the old question "Why
| is the number of students for the
Christian ministry decreasing" The
answer, according to Professor
Nichols, is that there isn't any such
decline. On the contrary, at present
the number of students for the minis
! try is increasing.
In 1918 there were more students in
the theological seminaries of the
Presbyterian Church than in any
other year since 1900. The low-water
mark was reached in 1902. Since then
the movement, with some slight fluc-
tuationS. has been upward. In the
years 1908 to 1918 the number grew 16
per cent, a rate of increase more
rapid than that of the population of
the country. There was once a de-
crease in the number of students. Be
tween 1888 and 1895 it increased so
per cent, reaching the high-water
| mark OF the past twenty-five years III
| the latter year. Then came a decline,
the number falling off by about a
third between 1895 and 1902. But in
1902 the tide turned, and while there
are not yet as many students as in
1895 the curve since then has been
climbing.
! Professor Nichols cites some figures
prepared by the Carnegie Founda-
| ton for the Advancement of Teaching
to show that this encouraging condi-
ton is by no means peculiar to the
| Presbyterian Church. This study
made by the foundation covered the
years from 1885 to 1910 and dealt with
all the churches of the United States,
and from it there appears to have
been a slow rise in the number of
| theological students in all denomina-
lions between 1885 and 1900, fall be-
tween 1900 and 1906, and a decided rise
between 1905 and 1910.
What makes the situation still more
encouraging is the fact that the sta
tistics above cited refer to students
in graduate theological schools; that
is, schools requiring a college educa-
tion for admission.

a Frosted Window

1t is free as the wind, the spirit,
And it shapeth itself as it will;
And here in the florists window,
When the night is frozen and still,
1t taketh strange forms of the forest,
And jungle and stream and hill.
Out of the viewless ether
1t gathereth mistiy;
Slowly shaping and forming
In blossom and vine and tree,
With grace of unspeakable beauty
And free as the wind is free.
1t hath woven crystalline jungle,
Scin tillant, frosty and white;
Bamboo and palm and aloe
Glitter in magical light,
In an icy forest primeval
Under the stars of the night.

there is time for clearing weatl

the snow and ice will, of course,
speedily disappear, and should such
'conditions-which are likely--be
followed by northwest winds clear

While there may be some appre
