Rev. X Feuerlicht's paper on "Jew
and Gentile," which was read before
the MethodlHt mlnlaterium at Elm Park
church on Monday last, has excited
more than ordinary comment, owing to
the clever manner In which the argu
ments on behalf of the Jewish commun
ity were stated. The subject has en
grossed the attention of many eminent
thinkers for centuries, and the history
of the Jewish nation nt all times pre
sents an Interesting field of study, hut
the argument presented by Mr. Eeuer
llcht brings matters to an Issue when
he boldly claims that he is supported by
Scripture In his assertion that "Christ
was not crucified by the Jews." The
controversy should be an instructive
one, and it would add considerably to
the Interest of the subject If a reply
was made to this cleverly written pa
per by one of the pastors who were
present at the meeting.
Some practical results have already
lieen achieved by the rending of Mr.
Feuerllcht's paper. In the claim for a
more humane consideration of the
Jews. The large Immigration of the
Jewish element to this country testifies
to the comfort and privileges which
they enjoy, as compared to the persecu
tion meted out to them In other coun
tries. In Russia, particularly, the bar
barous and Inhuman manner In which
they have been punished for Imaginary
offenses, has aroused the Indignation
of all right thinking people. The appeal
made by the reverend gentleman for
more toleration for his nationality will
not ba discarded by those who heard
or read his paper.
F.vcnts of the Week.
An Interesting meeting of the Con
gregational Ministers' association was
held at l'arsons on Monday, when al
most all the members were present.
Rev. Ivor Thomas, Taylor, read a well
written paper on "How Far Should the
Personal Element lie . Incorporated In
Our Sermons." A critical discussion
fullowed, during which the paper was
favorably commented ' upon. Each
member then Rave a synopsis of the
ermon preached on the previous Sun
day. In the evening Hev. R. 8. Jones,
D. D., preached at the public service.
The next meeting will be held at the
residence of Rev. David Jones, on Lin
coln avenue, when essays will be read
by .Rev. 'Lloyd .Roberts, of Vllkcs
Iiarre, and Rev. J. P. Thomas, of Provi
dence. The dedication of the Clark's Summit
Methodist Episcopal church on Thurs
day, is another Indication of the prog
ress of Methodism In this district. The
connection claim .that they build two
churches per day, and taking the Wy
oming district as a criterion, the state
ment may well be credited.
Christian Endcavorers are to be sin
cerely congratulated upon the undoubt
ed success of their first union social,

be followed by. many others. The rooms
were crowded with enthusiastic work
ers who were truly representative of
the younger church workers of Scran
ton. There has been a considerable In
crease of late in the attendance at the
Sunday evening services at St. David's !
church. .The Young People's societies
of this pretty little church are working
energetically for the advancement of
their work, and sixty members are now
enrolled In the Infant department of the
Sunday school, while the remainder of
the classes luive Increased likewise.

Luke's church this year than In any

odist Episcopal church, he succeeded In
obtaining subscriptions amounting to

of paying according to their ability, and
where no one knows the amount of an
other's contribution except the finan
cial secretary. Last year J12.000 were
raised under this system to liquidate a
church debt and $7,500 were contribut
ed for current expenses.
The Young Men's Christian Associa
tion Glee club is doing excellent ser
vice every Sunday afternoon nt the
Gospel meeting. The club is composed
of about sixteen splendid voices, and
are well trained by Tallle Morgan.
During the coming months they will
devote one evening a week to serenad
ing, nnd excellent music may be ex
pected. The monthly meetings held at Con
servatory hall for the discussion of the
good citizenship movement are quite
Interesting. The addresses are all con
fined to ten minutes each, and the latter
part of the meeting Is thrown open for
general dlseusslun. Though the meet
ings are held under the auspices of the
Central Prohibition league, they are not
In any sense partisan, and all people
are welcome to attend nnd participate
In the discussions.
There is a movement on foot to pub
lish an 8-page puper In the interest of
religion and musical reform every Sat
urday, and putting It in every home
In the city free of charge. Tallle Mor
gan will probably be the editor, with
an advisory board of managers.
Enster Is only four weeks distant,
and the various church choirs are be
ginning to prepare their music. Since
there are so many changes In the vari
ous churches on April 1, It will be a dllll
cult mutter for the new choristers ami
singers to have much of a programme
ready by April 14.

THE SEAT OF HIS PAIN.
From the Washington Post.
Under date of Feb. I a dispatch from
Rochester says: "A singular accident be
fell Elbert Knupp, of Wolcott, yesterday
while taking his morning buth. He moved
a portable wash-tub close to a red-hot
stove, und In stepping from it at the close
of the bath his foot slipped and he sat
down squarely upon the stove. A large
surface of cuticle adhered to the Iron, and
he is In bad shape."
A simple, shrinking, fugitive leaf, this Is,
blown upon the storm of great happen
ings, yet how tragic in its suggestions,
what a microcosm of the drama of human
life! It Is too lute, now, to remind Mr.
Knupp that If he hud only used a station
ary instead of a portuble buth-tub this
catastrophe could never have befallen
him. He could not. In thut event, huvo
moved the red-hot stove, and so, when
he sat down, he would have fetched clear
of the llery furnace. Neither shall we In
vade Mr. Knupp's atmosphere of pain
with the heartless and futile reproach that
ho should have postponed his buth until
the weather moderated and red-hot stoves
were no longer necessary articles of fur
niture. The time for thut hus passed. A
week ago, perhaps such remonstrance
might have served some useful purpose.
Had some prophetic person, on Saturday,
taken Mr. Knupp aside and persuaded him
to wait until spring, the hitter would have
been benellted und would now be tuklng
his meals with the family in the usual
way he would not huvo been writhing
and wincing like a hulf-buked cherub,
with nothing to sit down with except his
chin.
Kut the prophetic person did not Inter
pose, Air. Knupp did tuke the fatal
buth, and thut unfortimute gentleman's
burnt district now confronts us In all Its
pathos and solemnity. Let us not Inten
sify his anguish by vain imaginings of
the might have been. Leave such things
to Muud Muller und the poets. -
There muy be a moral In the little
story that comes to us from Rochester.
No doubt there are several morals. Rut
we refrain. Mr. Knupp needs sympnthy
nnd healing unguents fur more than the
does precept and trite upothegm. We of
fer him, therefore, our sympathy. The
unguents he can get from the apothecary.
Where Science enJs nod Common
Sense should rule. Persons of seden
tary habits are liable to indigestion or
dyspepsia. These, in turn, will bring
on nervous disorders, kidney com
plaints, constipation, etc. This Is es
pecially the case with merchants, stu
dents and scientists. They will give
you the exact dimensions of Jupiter, the
distance from Saturn to the sun, to a
foot but they cannot or will not tell
themselves what will cure this train of
disorders.
f or ailments resulting from seden
dentary habitsinactivity of the liver,
habitual constipation, etcthe entire
medical fraternity of Europe and Amer
ica ' almost unanimously recommend
the genuine Carlsbad Sprudel Salt and
the Waters of Carlsbad.. ...

HEALTH SUPPLEMENT
'Ibis excellent advice, by an experi
enced nurse, l.t well worth memorizing:
"Always when visiting a sick person
endeavor to sit where the invalid may
see you without making an effort to do
so. Under any circumstances it is al
ways more satisfactory to see the per
son to whom one Is talking, ami noth
ing is more fatiguing to 1111 invalid than
to be obliged to twist Into an uncom
fortable position In order to see a vis
itor. The good effect of the most cheery
talk will be nullified by the fatigue of
the effort. And don't speak of depress
ing subjects; above all refrain from
talking of similar cases that you have
known or heard of, unless by doing so
you can make the patient more hope
ful. Tell nil the bright, cheery things
you can; retail pleasant bits of news,
but don't stay too long, even though
urged to remain."
Warm water Is preferable to cold
water as a drink to persons who are
subject to dyspeptic ami billions com
plaints, and It may be taken more free
ly than cold water, nnd consequently
answers better as a diluent for carry
ing off bile. When water of u temper
ature equal to that 01" the human body
is used for drink. It p: ves considerably
stimulating, and Vi particularly suited
to dyspeptic, bilious, gouty and chlo
rotlc subjects. '
.
A well kept baby will walk when he
Bids ready. He doesn't need any les
sons. Let lilm alone. See that bis falls
are broken and his hurts kissed better,
but don't teach him to be n trnmp.
Urging a child to stand alone Is un ex
cellent way to cripple him for life.
Give him a chance.
If you have the appearance of a felon
coming put sonic hardwood ashes In
an old tin cup, pour over them warm
water, Immerse the end of the sore fin
ger In the ashes, set the dish on some
live coals or on top of the stove, keep
ing the finger In as long us you can, and
soak It several times a day.. If taken
In time It generally prevents a felon
from coming If the finger Is wet with
It often.
'
Here Is some advice which Is good,
even If It shull not be obeyed: "Don't
live a single hour of your life without
doing exactly whnt Is to be done In It,
and going straight through It from
beginning to end. Work, play, study;
whatever It Is, take hold at once nnd
finish It up squarely; then to the next
thing, without . letting any moments
drop rn-Jjetween. It is wonderful to
see how many hours these prompt peo
ple contrive to make of a day. It Is as
If they picked up the moments the
dawdlers lost. And If you ever find
yourself where you have so many
I things pressing upon you that you hard
I I
I
ly know where to begin, let me tell you
a secret: Take hold of the very one
that denies to hand and you will fall
Into line and follow after like a cum
puny of well drilled soldiers; and,
though work may be hard to meet
when it charges In a squad, It is easily
vanquished if you can bring It into)
line."
In the case of persons especially sub
ject to bronchitis, or who suffer from
it repeatedly, some excelli rit authorities
recommend the application, nt night
only, of a dry towel about the neck,
so placed that the ends shall lap over
the nape. An excellent method of ren
dering a child less likely to contract
bronchitis, and colds In general, is to '
daidi water on Its neck ami chest with
the hand during the bath. The water '
su used should at the start be at blood
heat, and may be reduced day by day
to a point not lower than 60 degrees
I'rtreuheit. This practice, besides thor
oughly tuimuluting the skin, Induces
deeper respirations on the part of th
child a very Important matter for
many children. Change of air should
be taken. If possible, when a bronchitis
seems likely to become chronic. This
change Is best made from a seaside lo
cality to an inland one, or from an In
land point to the seaside; but the point'
to which the change is made is not so
important as the change Itself. Rapid
changes of temperature favor bron
chitis In children, since the functions
of the skin the great heat regulator
of the body -are less active 111 them
than In adults. The wearing or flannel
has been found to be more effective in
this connection than the application of
oils to the chest. The medical profes
sion has practically voted against the
external use of mustard or strong
counter irritants In (he case of young
children. A Jacket of raw cotton Is
generally substituted.
HEALTH I'MUTIIK MILLION:
If the eyelids are Inflamed because of
long exposure to the sun, hot water Is the
best treatment. Mop for live minutes at a '
sitting with very hot water.
. "Lumps" on the cheek near the noso
may be caused by decayed teeth. When
the swilling first appears paint It with
tincture of Iodine ut night: this will pre
vent spreading of the Inflammation und
probably any recurrence of It.
If there be an open surface the follow
ing Is the safest treatment for frost-bite:
Compound tincture of benzoin, one ounce;
glycerine, one oume; mix und apply nlghf
and morning.- If the skin be Intact try a
2u per cent, ointment of Ichthyol and cos
luollne. If one's bunion be Inflamed bathe the
foot In hot water, "soak" It for Hfteen.
minutes ut a time. If there Is no inllam-,
nation, merely thickening ami pain, paint
the bunion with tincture of Iodine night,
mill morning until the skin begins to peel.
Wear shoes that that are "square toed",
and too long. Have the shoes tight ovoTJ
the Instep and loose over the toes.
A womnu who hus reached middle nge
wllh 11 skin of crcnin and roses Bays of
her complexion regimen: "My recipe Is
the simplest and cheapest In the'world.
A little milk and water nnd ten minutes ft
day lire all 'the sin-ret Involved. I us.
nothing but milk and warm wnter-one
part milk to two of water. W'ith this I,
bathe my face and neck freely .twice a duy,
Ave minutes, night and morning."
Dr. J. L. Oarland Sherrlll highly ree.
ommends compound benzoin tincture In
coses of Injuries about the hands, espec
ially In the use of machinery. The man
ner of .application Is us follows: After
careful cleansing and disinfection Of
wound and complete arrest of hemorrhage
a layer of absorbent cotton la placed
around the wound, over which the tlno
ture Is poured until the cotton Is satur
ated. This, forms an .air- tight aseoptIA
coating after evaporation of the alcohol.
