MODERN SURGERY A MARVEL
Operations at Recent Clinic Only a
Short Time Ago Would Have
Been Considered Miracles.

The Clinic Congress at Chicago
seems the climax Of modern surgery
and is surely a triumph of which the
medical world everywhere may be
Justly proud. Before a thousand ex-
perts in surgical technique there have
been performed operations which for
their marvellous daring match the age
Of miracles in almost every particular
save raising the dead. TO addCce a
few instances. At the clifics portions
of the intestines have been removed
A piece of bone has beeI4 taken from
the leg of patient and used to mend
a diseased spine. Splin4 arm bones
that would not knit have been pinned
together by silver nails land screws.
The entire lung of a dog has been re-
moved and replaced as hint Of what
may be the future treatment of tuher-
culosis. The calloused skin on the
eyes of child thus blinded from birth
has been pierced By brain operations
strated the surgical cure for criminals.
Spectators have watched the effects OF
radium mineral upon malignant
growths such as tumor fand cancer.
And patients under neg anesthetic
method have actually Watched an
operation performed uporf themselves.
In short, the whole clinical exhibit at
this congress has been one startling
feat of professional practice following
close upon the heels of another.
A generation ago many of these op-
erations which have come into actual
and assured prictice would have been
deemed chimerical and impossible of
achievement Thanks to the assidu.
Gus study and persistent experiment OF
medical enthusiasts, surgical science
has reached level where none dare
dogmatize upon it's limits. 1t has, next
to the laboratory, made new era, ex'
alting medical lore and research
among the mightiest excellencies of
marvellous age. Sufferers whose des
perate plight was once judged hope
less have the greatest reason to. re
! joice over the victories of surgical re
| search and experiment.

Which Kills Most-Worry or Drink?
That the optimism which pervades
Kate Langley Bosher's new book,
"The House of Happiness" has the
racy quality of the PHILOSOPHY of
those who live near the soil, would
seem to be proved by the following
remarks of one of it's characters:
'And if anybody will tell me what
good worryin' does they can have ev-
cry egg my hen is agoin' to lay this
spring! More folks wear out from
worryin' than dies from drink, and
drink is the king-bee killer, Mr. Deyo
says, and he ought to know, bein' a
preacher"
'He thinks all the world of her,
waits on her like she was a baby. l
used to think she was fool critter,
but it's me who's been the fool. A
man don't think much of woman he
don't have to wait on"
81 amt never heard tell that the
Lord pays taxes, or cuts the firewood:
or mends the roof when it leaks, or
gets shoes for the children, and all
them things has got to be done. Solo
mon Hatch leaves things he don't like
to do to the Lord. He gets me and
the Lord mixed up"

LECTURE ON THE BIBLE.
Continued from page l.

old London was described as the
home of the Oxford and Cambridge
Bible Society, where 25 miles OF
shelves held copies OF the Bible in
all versions, translations and dialects
known to the world
When Dan Crawford returned to
Chicago after spending twenty-three
years in the heart of black Africa
studying the language of the people,
he said that he had been learning to
think black" He discovered that the
Batsu language used nineteen lenses
and thirty-two genders, and it had
been his great task to translate the
Scriptures into this marvellous Ian
guagc.
In the bookstores of Singapore it
was found necessary to carry Bibles
in stock in twenty-nine different Ian
guages because of the diversified pop
ulation, and some of our American
cities are not far behind in this de-
mand
The Doctor asserted that some peo-
pie had an idea that the Bible was
created somewhere up in Heaven
Iand miraculously handed down some
sacred ladder and was so mysterious
/ ly holy that it was not to be opened
or even looked at except on rare oc-
casions; but the wonderful coming
together of the different books of the
Bible written by different men under
different circumstances and yet al
brought by that controlling super.
/ human influence into one Book was
still greater evidence Of its divine
authorship At the very outset il

earth and hell were arrayed agains

prosecutions assailed it during the

the cause progressed and persecution
failed to crush the Word During
this period the entire Scriptures were
practically memorized by its follow
ers. The second great disaster which
befell it was its suppression. TIL,
only church existent at that time re
solved that the common people shoulC
not know the Bible and they LOCKED
it up under padlocks and chains anC
behind stone walls and in a languag,
known only to its priests, and Thu

his search for the real Bible, wher

great offensive game and threw most
of the baskets. Hodge was there
with the defensive work and would
not allow his man to shoot. The
game was fast and few fouls were
made on either side. Owing to the
fact that the backboards were in sucl
poor shape our boys could not rol

by discrediting its origin and ridicul-
ing its claims. Gods great judgment
day will demonstrate how much these
leaders were responsible for the great
tragedies OF the French Revolution.
The Bible lived and today one OF the
great distribution depots OF the BIZ
bic Society is located in what was
formerly the home of Voltaire.
In later days the greatest danger
assailing the Bible was the spirit of
rationaism and criticism. The scien-
fist and student of literature began to
use their practical methods of study
upon the Bible, to ask questions as
10 how we know and what we know
and many devoted Christian people
threw up their hands in holy horror
at the sacrilege; but the questions
and the researches brought us to a
knowledge of the rock foundation,
the indisputable proof of thousands
of years of authentic confederation,
and the assuring faith that not only
was the Word inspired but the events
about which it was written. This
criticism was needful to bring the
Bible to the greater attention of the
people. The Book has survived per-
secution, suppression, the attacks of
inhdelity and higher criticism and is
only in danger by neglect. The ma
jority Of the people are still very ig-
norant of its contents and in this ig-
norance lies our greatest danger The
Bible is the product of the church OF
the living God and each man who
contributed a part was greater than
the book he wrote, for God himself
was speaking through the lives OF
these men. Neither Christ nor his
disciples were writers and the Cos
pels were written as separate stories
The epistles of Paul were simply let
ters written to save the churches
which had been founded. But the
Scriptures have the power to make
or regenerate a life and that power
has never been found in any other
document
The Bible is revolutionizing the
Orient today and the missionary i:
the most influential man in the com.
munity. All the great men of pub,
lie life and letters acknowledge its
influence, The great tragedy of to-
day is that America will permit the
Koran, Confucius, Hindooism or any
other "ism" to be studied in her pub
! lie schools but not the Bible. Ye
the Bible is not here TO answer triv
ial questions. nor is it a Divine scrap
book. but it teaches men how tc
know God
