OUR NATIONAL THANKSGIVING

This is no time for a Worlds

United States alone among the
greater nations Of Christie n dom
this is a dav and u year for un-
usually f rvent Thanksgiving.
And yet for us it will seem diff
cult for our thanksgiving to es-
cape a tinge Of selfishness and a
taInt OF vanity. Are We 80 much
better than the other nations
that we may rejoice in peace
and prosperity, In home unbrok-
en-, in the abundant rewards of
business, while as for our sister
nations their lands are devasted, =,
their cities are bonn bal ded, their
men are driven like sheep to the
sham bles, and every household
mourns q husband or \ broti,erP
This is the most hor -ible year
of the worlds history, fire and
slaughter carrying ruin over sea
and land and showering death
down from the skies, while we
sit untroubled in happy peace
ana thank God that we are not
as other nations are. Are we so
much better than they? Is it
that the lust of blood is not in
our veins that We are not greedy
to rob our neighbors Of their pos
sessions, or ls it that the acci.
dent of our position and the dis
severing ocean have made it easy
for Us to escape their fate?
Even our gratitude to God
might be Q sin if with it We fail
ed to do all in our power to re-
lieve the sufferings of those
whom this cruel war has driven
to despair. Think not of Bel
gium only, nor of Poland or Ser
bia, but of the millions Of fami-
lies in Great Britain and France
and Russia and Italy and Ger
many and Austria that are In
mourning. Think in Germany
and Austria alone of 900, 900
boys that have grown big enough
this year to be drafted into the
army, and as many more every
year to be fed into the cannon g
mouth so long as this war shall
last. and an equal or greater

dragged from their homes by

worlds fairest provinces, in the
empire where our Lord WAS born
the Prince of Peace, where Con
stantine proclaimed Christianity
the religion of tie world, a whole
nationality of Christians has
been brutallJ annihilGted, their

Pathfinders in Medicine.

Pathfinders in Medicine.
Each of the fifteen chapters of
DIR. Victor Robinson's Path
finders in Medicine" published
ov the Medical Review of Re-
views, New York; deserves a
separate review. Not that there
is lack of connection, for the
personality of the author unifies
them, moreover, the Pathfinders
belong all to the noble company
OF scientists; but the life story
Of each so enthralls the reader
that he would wish to bring
Others under it's spell.
The first paper is of Greek
medicine and Galen, who was
nourished on the nonparei! diet
Of Greek philosophy. The
earth has cooled" remarks the
author; so has the humsn
mind. The ancient Greeks will
forever remain the intellectual
wonders of the world" The
scholars of the Dark Ages did
not catch the Greek spirit of
free inquiry" and during the
1900 years that the world was
TOO indolent t. think for itself
Galen was it's undisputed au-
thority.'
Il defy any biographer to
write an interesting sketch of
Henry Cavendish," says DR..
Robinson, who straight off
writes most interesting sketch
of the methodical chemist whose
functloL in life was ito weigh
things and measure them and
analyZe them" 1t is his mania
for methou-the very thing that
in lesser degree would repel-
which proves so attractive. I'm
agIne q man who would not bor-
row book from his own library
without signing receipt! When
man makes apple-pie order the
be-all and end-all of his terres.
trial existence people with some
sense of the ludicrous will take
note of him. His life will not
be dull, having passed through
dullness and come out on the
other side of it.
The book is full of light. The
incidental references are illum-
inating. After Copernicus
there was no more excuse for as
! trology"-millions have not ye t
discovered that, and Corperni-
Gus has been dead more than
three and a half centuries.
1t is not necessary to be in
complete accord with Longfel-
low as to what lives of great
men oft remind us; one can,
nevertheless, have a wholesome
respect for humanity when re-
minded that the race has pro-
dLced these immortal pathfind-
ers. They aAe Galen, Arataeus,
