cnt's verbal knowledge of the New Testament
as grest-even to the original Greek as that
Of the Old with which he would find himself
more In sympathy. The new dspensstion,
whose spirit he ignores, abolished the de-
mnnd of an eye for an eye. tooth for a

also. Il is true that no Christian nation has
ever practiscd Christianity But before the
present sufficient spectacle Of pillage and
slaughter, OF civilization that is no civilza-

Al least we might be spared the brsndished
sword Of Hebrew prophet and having the

the gospel Of peace. 1t lacks perception and
il lacks common sense.

Sir: | want TO thank physician and Sur
geon" for his letter in your paper to-day on
the use of morphis. A few years ago | was
in a woman's hospital when a patient was
brought in who desired to give up the use
Of morphia, which she had been addicted to
for years. Her suffering soon commenced
and gradually became horrible, her screams
pleading for "only a little" could be heard
through the building and in the street, and
at last other patients joined in begging the
physicians TO give her some, but they per-
sisted, feeling sure thew could conquer, which
they did, with the same result as that of the
man who was sure he could teach his horse
"to get along without anything TO eat; in
each case the only thing that prevented its
being success was. that the patient died.
A man that I know, who commenced. when
a student at Princeton College, to indulge in
taking only a very little" when tired. grad

great promise, but as years vent on the very
little doses became larger and larger, and
when he was fifty years old he determined
10 conquer the habit or die after a few days
OF awful suffering, the three physicians, who
we're doing everything possible 10 alleviate
the torture, told him he must renew the habit
or die. He chose the latter; he had no one

life.

The Lesson of Neuve Chapelle.

Field Marshal Sir John French exhibits
moral courage in admitting that the
British losses at Neuve Chapelle were
swollen by blunders in tactics. That ad-
mission seems to give some point to Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's recent taunt
that Great Britain has sent soldiers TO
the front, but has not organized armies
The CRYING need Of new formations is
competent officers, and in expanding her
little standing army to present war foot
ing demands Great Britain has naturally
been harder put to it for officers than any
other conbatant.
There is no reason for taking Won Hin
denburgs criticism too seriously. He said
of the Russian army before his second
drive against Warsaw began that it had
become disorganized and lacked necessary
supplies, especially for the artillery arm.
But the fighting on the east front since
December has not confirmed that judg-
ment. The Russian offensive and defen-
sive are just as formidable as ever. There
is little doubt, too, that the new British
troops will give as good an account of
themselves as will any of the German
troops trained since the war began. There
was no lack of courage or endurance in
the assault on Neuve Chapelle. The fault
was in the tactical handling of the re-
serves and m the lethargy of few of
the higher field officers.
That is a defect which can be over
come for the present by changes in com
.mand. The French had some unfortunate
experiences in the first month Of the war
The reports Of the French War Office
have admitted the failure of a number
of French commanders in the battles IN
Lorraine and Southern Belgium. Retire
ments and promotions soon restored eff
cheney They will do the same thing for
the British so long as the supply of ade-
ouately trained junior officers lasts. The
big problem, however, for Great Britain
is to create competent corps of officers
for all the new armies, in the face of the
excessive losses in officers already suffered
by the expeditionary army.
France has apparently a better supply
of trained officers than any other coun-
try. The whole French army is a train
ING school for officers. and the pervading
democratic spirit makes it easy TO pro-
mote men from the ranks. Germany still
balks at this expedient--so repugnant to
the caste system-and has resorted to the
compromise of giving a temporarily pro-
NOTED enlisted man the title Of acting
officer. Great Britain has already pro-
NOTED about ! 800 rankers TO commissions
and the process must 90 much further
before the war ends.
Every army or set of armies created
ofrhand must he shaken down eventually
in the field. The reorganization under
fire which Great Britain now faces on
so large a scale is exactly what the United
States would have to face were we to be-
come involved in war. Only We should be
much worse off than Great Britain is TO-
dav. The great lesson of the present war
for all countries which have neglected
their defence is the value Of a system
which diffuses military training and
creates a reserve on which a draft may
be made for officers When sudden eXpan-
sion becomes necessary, = "cltlzenry'

Wise Action by the Assembly.

Il is well that the latest bill designed
to make the way easier for Christian
Science healers in this state has been
defeated in 30 decisive way. Mr.. Thorn,
in defending it, argued that those in whose
behalf It was drawn up "did not wish TO be
placed in a preferred class" but merely
desired TO be permitted TO practise the
tenets of their religion as they apply to
healing bodily ills" The plea is plausible
but specious, for there is in fact no law
to prevent the application of Mrs. Eddy's
principles provided the practitioners COM
ply with regulations which control all
engaged in the healing art.
The case against the Thorn bill, as
against every measure intended for the
benefit of those who profess Christian
Science faith healing, homeopathy or any
other method Of treatment, is extremely
simple. It Is not that the treatment OF
disease is so exact a science as to justify
the state in compelling all concerned in it
to follow a precise and well-defned course
in the conduct Of their cases, but that for
the protection Of the community against
ouacks, impostors and ignoramuses, it has
been found expedient to establish a COM
mon standard for the regulation Of those
engaged in such work. A common stand
ard because it is obvious that if special
standards were to be adopted for every
sect that professed a new doctrine there
might as well be no standard at all; we
should be reduced, in fact, to state Of
anarchy.
The complaint Of those who object to
the minimum Of education at present
exacted is that it was established in the
interest of a particular school of practi-
TONERS whom they call allopaths. In
reality this objection is meaningless, for,
as an eminent medical man observed some
years ago, whenever sectarian schools
of medicine spring up, the members Of
the regular medical profession are then
referred to as 'allopaths.'" There is
standard by no means too exacting, to
which healers of all schools are expected
to conform. The healers of Christian
Science are on precisely the same footing
with the rest Let them qualify, as others
are obliged to qualify, and they will be
at perfect liberty TO practise after the
manner of Mrs. Eddy-if they be still in
clined to do so.
