Americas supply of physicians is 25,-

Americas supply OF physicians is 25,-
900 short; to avoid an acute shortage,
every effort must be made to induce
young men of the country to study
medicine. That was the message de-
Hvered at the opening session of the
American Institute of Homeopathy by
DR.. Upham of Brooklyn, ~ Y, first
vice president of the institute. So
great is the need of young medicos
that the wives of the institutes men,
bers have organized the woman's ma

medical students through the univer-
sites.

Blessed Mysteries Of Life.

Both death and sleep are blessed
mysteries of life. 1t is of little conse-
quence what time the angel of life
opens the door of death for us; the
supreme concern for us is whether our
hearts shall be pure, and our souls
strong In grace to rejoice In the vision
of the Everlasting Day. - Newman

The Challenge to the Church.
Revelation 81 liza is the passage
of Scripture selected for devotional
reading. Instead of attempting to re-
view the lessons of the quarter il
would be of great interest and profit
to enter into a detailed study of this
Scripture. The following outline may
the New Earth wv. l, p; ii. The New
People wv. 3-S); III. The New Jeru-
salem wv. 9-14).
Another way would be to assign the
Golden Texts to different members Of
the class asking them to give the part
of the particular lesson which Illus
trates the teachings of the text.
Still another way would be to sum-
Marie the different Scripture pass
ages, giving the leading lessons Of
each. The following is given by way
of suggestion:
|. The believers supreme obliga-
ton is to present himself as a living
sacrifice to God. The grand reason
for so doing is that he has received
the mercies of God. The one so yield
ed will love his fellow believer sin
cerely.
IT,. The believers body is Gods
property-the temple of the Holy
Ghost; therefore we are under solemn
obligation to use it for His glory.
III. Since God the Father and
Jesus Christ work, it is incumbent
upon all to work, and the man who
will not work should not eat
~. God hates the greed that moves
men to dishonest methods in order to
get rich. His judgment shall fall upon
such.
v. True education will lead one to
Christ. The one only book which tells
about him is the Bible. No one can
call himself educated who is ignorant
of the Bible.
vi, God rested when His work of
creation was done. On this basis He
has established the law of labor and
rest. The obligation to cease from la
Dor is that one may remember God.
VII. The church is an organism as
the human body. In order that there
may be real helpful cooperation there
must be membership in that body.
VIII. Jesus should be welcomed as
a guest into every home. He is an ex-
ample of an obedient son in the home.
TX. The most important question is
not "Who is my neighbour" but ITO
whom can l be neighbour" Being |
a neighbor is seeing those about who
need help and rendering such help in
loving sympathy.
X. The Christian is a citizen as well
as a church member. Intelligent Chris
tians will show proper loyalty to the
state.
XII. When Christ shall reign as
King there shall be peace all over the
world between animals and men. The
business of the believer in
this dispensation is to preach the Cos
pei to all the world as a witness.
XII. Jesus came and preached the
gospel to the poor, but shall come
again to judge the world and reign as
King.
Since the whole of mans duty is
up by Christ in duty to God
and duty to man Matt. % :36-40), it
would be profitable to go through the
lesson and set down the
under
l. Duties to God; II. Duties to Man.

member of the party. Who ever
saw a new moon in the east?"
But there 1t was, just opposite
the place where the sun had gone
down. Then as all gazed, the thin
crescent grew larger; and larger
and brighter, and finally 1t dawned
upon the gazers that the phenome'
non was mono other than the eclipse
that all had forgotten about.
TIE moon rose at about six
