to enter a hospital to avoid,
The effort involved in talking and
in meeting other personalities takes
a heavy toll of everybody's strength.
1t is often a serious burden TO the
sick, who need rest far more than
do those in normal health. 1t there
fore devolves upon the visitor to
watch for signs of fatigue in the pa
tent he is talking to.
Leave-taking should be immediate,
diversion in the form of amusing
quick and matter-of- fact. A little
chat with an old friend is fine in
the latter stages of recuperation.
Even that can be too much, earlier
in the illness-and the visitor should
never stay through mealtaking, or
treatment Of any kind. If all hints
fail. he should be invited to depart.
DISTASE CARRIERS
Needless to say-people with colds
or other communicable diseases are
of inestimable harm. coming into
hospitals, among people of lowered
vitality and resistance. Spreading
infection is not to be encouraged at
any time. much less during periods
of national effort such as the pres
ent.

'ENEMIES OF COD

that he favored the war and sup

Asserting that never. perhaps, had
a calumny more monStrous or more

The Pope, who said the allega-

Urging workers to shun 'incon-

their work, the Pope warned them
that false prophets would have us

The liabilities of The Church
Pension Fund, which is operated on
the full actuarial reserve basis, are
shown as amounting to 500, 55,677
at the end of 1912 leaving an excess
of assets over liabilities of $2,515,-
$40 which is almost exactly the
same as at the end of the previous
year. The net surplus has remained
reasonably steady over the last five
years ranging from low of $2,093.-
327 in 1889 to a high OF $2,553,385
in 1910.
IN Analysing the changes In sur
plus during 1912, Mr.. Locke reports
that the largest gain resulted from
the fact that not all of the clergy
retire promptly upon reaching the
age of xty-eight, which is the per-
miSSive age of retirement. Pointing
out that the actuarial calculations
necessarily have to assume prompt
retirement at the permissive age
and that if retirement Is deferred to
later age, the liabilities of the
fund are correspondingly reduced,

mainly responsible for the ability of
the trustees to increase the benefits
so substantially beyond the original
promises, thus passing this saving
on to the beneflciaries He warns,
however, that if the Episcopal
Church should adopt legislation, as
is under consideration, compelling
the retirement Of all Of the clergy
at a certain age, this saving would
largely disappear and the trustees
might not be able to continue the
practice of paying extra benefits.
The fund has three wholly owned
subsidiaries which are commented
upon in the report just issued The
Church Hymnal Corporation pub
fishes hymnals and prayer books for
the church and will shortly issue a
Revised Hymnal upon which a spe-
cial commission has been working
since 1897. The Church Life Insur-
