Carefully Compiled Compendium of News
and Personal Mention Relating to tho
Churches and the Benevolent and
Charitable Religious Societies.
Tomorrow's services at the Plymouth
Congregational church, Jackson street,
promise to foe of an exceedingly Inter
esting: nature. In, the morning the pas
tor. Rev. Thomas Bull, will preach on
"Christian Education," ,and the an
nual offering to the Congregational Ed
ucational society will bo taken.
In the -evening Mr. Hell will deliver
a lecture on "The Authenticity and
Genuineness of the Holy Scriptures."
This address and others that Mr. Hell
haa given were specially prepared for
the purpose of educating the large
number of young men and women who
attend the -Plymouth church In the
fundamental doctrines of true religion.
It must 'be a source of great gratifica
tion to Mr. Bell and 'the olllcers to
observe 'the steady growth of the audi
ences at the church. The auditorium
ts filled every Sunday evening. Last
Sabbath night several persons left the
church owing to the building being so
crowded.
The Congregational Educational so
ciety is one of the seven benevolent
societies, of the denomination, and has
for Its objects the following:
1. Purpose. Few candidates for the
ministry come from homes of wealth.
The great ' majority need financial -aid
while in college and seminary. More
than 8,000 have found the society's aid
necessary,
1 Number Aided. About 400, besides GO
of foreign birth who are preparing to t e
home missionaries to their own people in
this country.
The .Slavonic department of Obeilln
seminary, which receives 13,000 annually
from the society, has already furnished
fifteen graduates who are now pastors
and missionaries.
3. Amount of Aid. Those passion
through collegeand a theological seminary
may receive seven annual appropriations
of J75 each. ' Many afterwards refund nil
they receive.. All applicants aim at self
aupport, so that on the whole only m per
cent, of the society's appropriation for
the seven years Is called for. ,
4. Demand for Ministers. Annual loss
by death about equals the recruits from
the seminaries, but for many years the an
nual net gain in number of churches has
been about 11!5. An Increasing number of
men Is also needed for the foreign llokl.4.
The Congregational churches are not
producing a supply of ministers equal to
their own demand; hence many are culled
from other denominations.
Of the Congregational ministers now
living within the bounds of the Congrega
tional association of Pennsylvania, twelve
have received from the -society $2,318 dur
ing their courses of Btudy. Many of the
Congregational churches in the state have
had a minister who as a student was aided
iby the society.
Christian llndonvor Work.
The WlHrea-Barre Endeavor union has
enthusiastically endorsed Scrarnton's re
quest for the' state convention in 189G.
Many endorsements are being received
from several parts of the state.

The society of the Plymouth Congre
gational church has changed its meet

Second Presbyterian church Is In a pros
perous condition. It was -admitted Into

organization of the Christian Kndeavor
movement. Many of the city societies
will have special services In connection

now the president of the ITnlted society.
The committee on 1S96 will meet tills

St. Luke's School No. 2.
The South Side .Sunday school, which
has been formed and organized under

ress In numbers and work performed.
Although but six weeks old, there are
already forty pupils Who attend regu
larly and the enthusiasm manifested
by both teachers and scholars arguos
well for the future. Episcopalians on

Some time ago Dr. Hugo Summa, of
this city, says the St. Louis Cllnique, a
thorough physiologist and skillful prac
titioner. In considering the fact thut
tihere Is an almost total absence of the
usuul signs of bile in the faces of pa
tients suffering from typhoid fever,
came to the conclusion that possibly
some of the distressing features of late
typhoid may be due to a deficiency of
bile, and determined to tr the intro
duction of ox gall into the bower bowel
In we-H marked cases of the disease.
This plat bus now been carried out in
a considerable number of cases, and
with the happiest results thus far, not
a single deuth 'having occurred when
the bile treatment has been Instituted;
whereas In a similar number of con
tlguus cases ut apparen tly the same de
gree of severity the usuul fatality has
been noted. Tho treatment is as fol
lows: Two ounces of fresh bile (which
can be obtained at any packing house
and kept for two or three days If the
air be excluded) may be mixed with
from two to eight ounces of wuter and
thrown into the rectum with an ordi
nary household syringe. Some patients
cannot endure the bile of this strength,
as it sometimes Is quite irrltajtlng to the
rectal mucous membrane, In which
cases as much as fourteen ounces of
water must be added to the two ounces
of bile. The Injection is given every
night and morning. Under the Influ
ence of the bile, conjoined with proper
feeling, the course of fever has been
very,' favorably' modified In instunces
where the disease was far advanced
when the new treatment was begun;
In one patient at the city hospital re
covery resulted after three severe hem
orrhages had occurred, and In a large
number of cases of typical typhoid, In
w'h'lch the 'treatment was employed be
fore, the end of the first week, the dis
ease was checked In a very few days.
This - Is truly a remarkable showing.
And If further use of rectal injections
of diluted ox gull gives the same results
as those already obtained In the hospi
tals of St. Louis Dr. Summa will liave
glvtn us a remedy second In Import
ance to tlhe recent cure for diphtheria.
Full details of the treatment and re
sults wilt 'be published as soon as Its
eflluacy has been thoroughly tested.

who have tried them at Homburg and

a sheet. The attendant having ascer
tained the suffering parts -daubs them
to the thickness of several Inches with
the mud. The Invalid, covered with a
hot sheet or blankets, lies for half an
hour, perspiring freely, then gets Into
a hot sulphur bat'h, Is thoroughly
cleaiuzed, rubbed dry, and returns to a
bed nrtlflcally warmed, NVhere the
persplra-Mon continues for an hour or po
longi-r. This 'treatment is repeated al
most every .morning fur about twenty
days, and lis of groat value in all mani
festations of rlwumaltUrni. The mud Is
dug out of a mountain a few miles from
the spa, and brought ito the establish

years in tanks of boiling sulphur water

If English people would only realize
the lmense Importance and value of
fruit as an article of diet In the enriy
morning, we should find Its appearance
far more general on the ordinary break
fast table. Of its healthfulness at this
period of the day there can be no ques
tion whatever, und more fruit and less
animal food would undoubtedly conduce
to a much henlthler condition of body.
In the morning there Is an acid slate of
the secretions, and nothing Is so well
calculated to correct this as cooling,
sub-acid fruits, such as peaches, apples
and pears. The apple Is one of the best
of fruits; oranges also are generally
acceptable to most people; but the juice
alone should be taken and not the pulp,
and the same muy be said of lemons
and pomegranates. Tomatoes act on
the liver and bowels, and blackberries
I figs, raspberries, currants and straw
berries may be classed among the best
foods and medicines. The sugar In
them is nutritious, the acid Is cooling
and purifying and the seeds are laxa
tive. The fact Is noted In a technical Jour
nal of the already considerable, as well
as rapidly Increasing, quantity of cot
ton fibre that Is annually consumed in
the manufacture of absorbent cotton
for surgical uses. The process of pre
paring the raw cotton for such purposes
Is given as follows: After boiling In a
solution of potash, which eliminates all
the greasy und waxy matter, the res
idue cotton Is placed In a so-called
"whlzzer,"and dried; being then trented
to the medicating process by the use of
Biich antiseptics us diluted corrosive
sublimate and carbolic acid, the cotton
Is placed upon cards and run Into hips,
being thus made ready for the market,
where it brings a comparatively high
price. Prepared according to this
nit'Umd, the cotton Is In admirable
condition for the stanching and onver
lug of wounds, and In the sick room Is
regarded nB equally valuable In Its
simple and effective aotlon, absorbing,
as It does, all moistures with great
readiness. '

HEALTH FOR THE MILLION:
Hathtng the skin very frequently with
alcohol will harden and toughen It.
When the eyes are tired and weak. If
they are bathed in slightly saline wuter
they will soon become soothed.
A mixed diet of beef, poultry, milk, eggs,
fish, oysters, bread, potatoes, rice, peas,
beans, onions, celery, spinach and let
tuce will best serve to enrich the blood
and give one strength and vigor.
Never read In bed or when lying upon
the sofa. Sit with your back to the light us
much as possible. Attend to your diges
tion. Do not work longer than two hours
without closing your eyes and resting
them for five minutes. If your eyes aru
weak, bathe them In water to which a
little salt und a little brandy have bien
added.
That the beard Is a safeguard to the
throat Is generally admitted. Writers of
authority have insisted on its value us a
protection against toothache and facial
neuralgia. Dr. Chubliert, of Toulouse,
has, however, yet more to say in Its favor.
According to this practitioner the beard
Is a very efficient defense against that
form of fuclul puralysls which is caused
by cold.
Gravel Is a condition due to the pres
ence of gall stones 111 the gall bladder.
It Is not necessarily a fatal ulTectlon, al
though death may occur during an at
tack of colic from unexplained causes. A
prolonged course of alkaline mineral
wuter has been found the best remedy
against the formal Ion of gall stones. At
the time of the nttack tuke hot brandy or
whisky and upply heat externally while
awaiting the arrival of a physician,
