Christian Church Gleanings

There was one addition to the
church last Sunday.
The State Convention meets in
Kinston, N. c., Nov. 13-16.ssA
number of members will attend
from this church. .......e-
New life has been injected in
to the singing and the church
work generally. AS the summer,
is passing people are catching a
vision. Heretofore the minister
had TO lead the singing no one
else would. To conduct the. sing
ing, conduct Sunday-school,
teach a class, and then preach.
Our fellow ministers can appre-
ciate the position probably.
The minister was always nearly
exhausted before the sermon and
then after, you may think, a
little. To Messrs. C. H. Speight
and w. L. Jernigan credit is due
for relieving the strain of having
to conduct the singing. About
seventy-five were in the choir
last Sunday. They have agreed to
push that part and an effort will
be made to get as large a choir
as possible. All are :, invited,
whether. you are member of
que church or any other church
or not a member of any church
come and sing the gospel Miss
Lucy Taylor is pianist and MIR.
will Taylor, corpetist. Those
who play, other musical instru-
ments are invited.
The minister will begin a re-
yival at Antioch next. Sunday
morning, Prof. A. M. Proctor
will preach at the Tabernacle, on
Sunday night in the absence of
THE minister. II
Cottage prayer meetings were
conddct every night this week
except Thursday. Over. two
hundred were in attendance.
The debate held at the Taber.
nacle last Saturday night was
enjoyed by all present. Resolved:

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
NOT Alarming
Cannot Be Controlled However
Till Carriers Are Known

That infantile paralysis is ye
practically an uncontrolled dis
ease is the statement made to
day by DR.. W. S. Rankin, secre
tary of the State Board of Health.
He says that not until the means
of spread of the disease can be
discovered can it be termed
preventable or controllable dis
ease. Little is known concerning
the mode of conveyance of the
virus, or who or what carries
the infection of this disease and
not until science has discovered
the mode of tranmission can it be
called a preventable disease.
AS to the value of restrictive
measures in controlling this dis
ease, Doctor Rankin says there
is no evidence that restrictive
measures have had any influence
in checking it's spread. AS a
matter of fact, there is strong
evidence that restrictive
measures have not affected its
spread. The truth of-this state
ment is evident, in the fact that
there has been as many cases OF
this disease in a given population
where little or no attempt has
been made to curb its spread
through restrictive measures as
where such attempts hayea apeep,
made, in New York City for in
stance. .'
In explaining the failure of
New York's restrictive meas
ures, Doctor Rankins gives it as
his opinion that the inefficiency
of the method rests upon the as
sumption that the disease is
mainly by children
under sixteen years of age. He
believes that any restrictive
measure, in order to be efficient,
must include the human carrier
with no limitations as to age,
which is to say that all persons
having been in close contact with
a case of infantile paralysis
should be quarrantined or re-
stricted for two weeks.
AS to the existence of the dis
ease in this State. Doctor Ran
kin says it is doubtful whether or
not there are more cases in the
State this summer than in prevlr
ous summers. North Carolina
has about two hundred cases eve
ry year, but whether the disease
is exactly the same as that which
is now epidemic in New York has
not been proven. After all,
he says, st is the mystery
about this disease that makes.i it
80 exciting and alarming.
There are many more dangerous
diseases among us that are pre-
ventable, about which nothing is
done, butt is the mysterious and
not the. tragic element, in. a dis
ease that creates excitement. "

When Accidents Happen What
To Do

As accidents will happer
everybody should know what t
do in case of an emergency
particularly a serious accident t
the body. Oftentimes, a fev
minutes delay or ill directed al,
may mean serious consequences
probably death, whereas a few
simple first aid remedies will
soon bring relief and lead to re-
covery.
Painting spells or light states
of unconsciousness are frequent
ly encountered, and are brought
about by lack of a sufficient blood
supply for the brain. When per-
son begins to feel faint, he should
sit in chair, and hold his head by
clasping the hands behind it and
forcing it downward. If he is
not able to do this he should be
laid flat on his back with his feet
elevated. Never give whiskey
or any form of alcohol for faint
ing spells. 1t has long since
been found to be a nerve, brain
and heart depressant instead of
a stimulant. Its use is quite
harmful in depressed conditions.
A few whiffs of aromatic. am
MONA, or a Tablespoonful in a
wineglassful of cold water is a.
good remedy, but to have the
head low, the feet high, the
clothing loosened and plenty Of
fresh air are the most important
measures.
salSight cuts may be. bathed !
with peroxide Of hydrogen, but
lacerated wounds, especially if
dirt has gotten into the wounds
should be cleansed as soon as
possible with gasolene or turpen-
tine and then painted with
iodine. If earth has sbeen forced
into the wounds they should be
made to bleed freely and the,
services of a physician secured
for advice against tetanus or
lock, jaw. As to burns in a mild
degree, a simple busting powder
of borated talcum or ordinary
baking soda is sufficient. Oily or
sticky dressings should not be
encouraged, r."a. d

When the War is Over.

o 1t has been a shock to the German
people to find the verdict of the world
against them. When the war is over
they are likely to ask if it is not
better to cooperate with the world
than to fight it. When the weak
learn to stand manfully together in
stead of letting themselves be de-
stroyed one by one as in the old days
of imperfect communications and de-
fcient solidarity, even the strongest
nation may ask itself if conquest has
not ceased to pay. In the allied coun-
tries one finds singularly little de-
sire for the destruction of Germany,
or for any revenge beyond the frus-
tration of hopes of conquest or pc
cuniary profit Till now the eXper-
ience of Prussia has been favorable
to war, and the easy conquest of
France, with both territory and cash,
was a bad moral lesson for the mas
cent German empire. Itmay be that

A COUNTRY RYPATH

In "Dr. Grimshawe's Secret" n
youthful voyager from America is
described by Hawthorne as wandering
alone through the English country by
paths:
THE path in which he walked, rus
tic as it was and made merely by the
feet that pressed it down was one
of the ancientest of ways; older than
the oak that bore the mistle'oe, older
than the villages between which it
passed, older perhaps than the com
mon road when the traveller had
crossed that morning; old rs the
times when people first debarred
themselves from wandering ely ard
widely wherever vaGrant impulse
led them. The footpath, then, still
retains some of the characteristics Of
Il woodland walk, taken at random,
by a lover of nature not pressed for
time nor restrained by artificial bar
rers; it sweeps and fingers along,
and finds petty little dells and hooks
of delightful scenery, and picturesque
glimpses of halls or cottages, in the
same neighborhood where highroad
would disclose only tiresome blank
They run into one another for miles
together, and traverse rigidly guard
ed parks and domains, not as IA mat
ter of favor, but as a right; so that
the poorest man thus retains kind
of property and privilege in the old
est inheritance of the richest. The
highroad sees only the outside; the
footpath leads down into the heart
of the country.
"a pleasant feature OF the footpath
was the stile, between two fields; no
frail and temporary structure, but
betokening the permanence of this
rustic way; the ancient soildity of
the stone steps, worn into cavities
by the hobnailed shoes that had
