"THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA "
COURAGE OF SURGEONS.
Nerve During Operation Is the Result of
foreknow ledge.
From Pearson's Weekly.
There Is really nothing extraordin
ary about the calmness and nerve dis
played by the averase practitioner dur
ing surgical operations. The "nerv.-"
of the nurjfeon under such clrcutn
rtanceg Is the most natural thine In the
world. It Is not a display of calmness
which has been put on for the oocas-lon,
but simply the normal denr-anor of a
prgctl-al. matter-of-fact man. who
knows what h has to do and how he
Is ffoing to do It.
The trouble with many p-opP who
marvel at what they call a surireon's
courage Is that they fall utterly to com
prehend the conditions under which ho
performs his work. They Imnirlne thnt
Jie experimenting or that he doesn't
know his ground, or thnt he will cut
Home-thing that he ought not to cut.
Nothing can 'be further from th" facts.
No movement In science or nr-chanlcs
Is preceded by a more accural, fore
knowledge of Its results than the aver
age operation In surgery. There is no
mch thing as guesswork about It. Tlie
operator knows that he is performing
an operation that Is based upon ah ex
act science.
Why. then, should there be any need
In his work for extraordinary courage?
There are cnss, of course, so critical
or so unusuttl In character rs to excite
ven the calmest and most self-con-talnei
operator, and when these are un
4t"T treatment the surgeon's powers of
elf-contro! are frequently taxed to
their utmost limit. To the man. who,
In such cases, can wield a knlff without
a visible tremor when life Itself de
pends upon the accuracy and d'.dleacy
of his touch, we must award the prize
dim to real heroes.
Rut In the average case the sunreon
neither needs nor (Kissesffps more than
the courage of an Intelligent, sincere
man. who knows hi duty and has
learned how to perform It. His techni
cal knowledge of anatomy and his
methodical habits of work accuptom
tilm to conditions which alarm and ex
cite non-professional minds, and he
got about his task with a certain vig
orous, quiet, assertive confidence In
the results of his movements which the
observer Is quite likely to mistake for
a marvelous courage summoned ftp for
that particular occasion.

PAST. PRESENT. FUTURE
Sermon to Ezra Griffin Post in Dun
more Presbyterian Church.
IT WAS AN ABLE DISCOURSE
Rev. J. W. Williams Says Past Dottles
Are Ended Only in a .Material
Senas Moral Tattle ii
Never Ended.
A large representation of Ezra Grif
fin post. No. 13!, In command of Newell
Uanlnor, heard a sermon especially for
them last night in the Dunmore Pres
byterian chinch, when the dlsjour.n.' of
Krv. James W. Williams, the pastor,
was received wi.h much favor. He
very happlily blended the past, and
present, and drew lessons, which es
pecially appealed to the soldier. His
text was Joshua, iv, 0, "What mean ye
by these stones." He said:
When these words of our text were
spoken Israel had completed their long
Htul wearv march of forty years through
the wilderness. I'.ehind tluai rested the
many and wjinleiful miracles wt.i.-.i Hod
had wrought in their midst. The Israel
ites hail entered the proml-cd-latid, but
Hod only kii"v what lay before them.
Imrlr.g their xtruitsles tor truth and for
possession of land which Hod hint given
them, every mount and vale In that holy
land was to pas into history and be
linked with the story of redeeming love.
And If Israel was to he faithful to her
trust it would be necessary to kei p be
fore her what i!od hud done for her In tho
past. Ami so these stones which Joshua
had tuketi out of Jordan were to stand
for a monument that they mlKtit keep
these past ilellvel nines of iloil fresh in
their tnliuis.
We. too. are to study and remember the
past events of our country's history: the
battlefield of the past, which were the
lnstrum.'tus that i.oJ iwed in making ti
olsplay of His power and goi lnes to a.
1? It were noi-. ?Mi"y for the Itraelltes, In
p-afltur out of the wlldevncss Into the bor
ders of Canaan to keep before Ih. in the
leading events of their national history
so as to learn lessor. tliernfrotn. how
much more necessary It Is for this coun
try, In passlnir out or Us tlrst century Into
the borders of The second. The Amertc ri
eoile have set up tii.uieriient.il stuiies all
over this laud to coitiiiiciiiiimte an event
s Important as that bvlarel by the me
morial stones that Joshua erected at the
crossing of the Jordan. The chill that
whs born the vear cur civil war closed
hes grown to manhood now, and so :i-l-ly
art Its experiene. s fading Into forsei.
fulness th it our children are already :fk
Ing us. "What mean ye by these s'tic'.'"
Crisis iu llistrov of Israel.
The crisis came In the history of Israel
wnen tie Isr.H'lltcs went to K.ioesn
itan.ea They tV'is. I to go up an 1 occupy
the land of Canaan; then the Lord de
clared they should never entir the prom
ised land. Not one of wo.ium warriors ca
tered the land, except Joshua and Caleb.
One hundred and twenty years ago our
own beKned nation reached a eri.os In her
histo'y The ipp'stion raised wis as to
whether this whole ration w.nd I he In

In :t these l'nlte.1 Stat -s came to the

War riond Mas llccn I IftcJ.
Today, my friends, yen nnd I r-e crtM-d
iil-on to hold fa t to the pr'ne'tdes for
which thoe brave so'dlers fought. The
war In w hich you fought plowed lont iin I
deep furrows over this beautiful land

those urand worls, "fre -doai." "Amerl -ao
liberty," "Amcrlr-nn eltixenshlp," inenn as
much to future generations us they do to
un tod iy? In future g. -l.'atlons, when

mightiest uuestlorii wleH

Sometimes I fear v.eare ilrlftlng towarda

which was destroyed by our civil war.
Today we And our ohur li mi l Chrl-tlan
pi ople array-d on one hide against the u
loon and Intetnper'ince and trying lo up
ho in the rtinelliy of this holy day, which
l(el has blesst l, t. hlls on the other hnn I
we nnd arrayed sgnlnst us not a few
fh-uiugogue who dictate our poiltlcal ac
tlon. The decision of all those wilgthy
utiesllruiK seems now to lie relegated tu
the hal'ot box. The greati-iet peril that
today confronts Ibis r.ntlon is InilllTerence
to polltl' il 'I'll v. Mimbers of Ihe (liM.id
Atiny of Hi" Republic, shall we preserve
this splendid herliace Won by war.' A
writer says, "What hn been iiecured by
the bayom t must be preserved by the bal
lot." Iteinereher that ground yielded to
the enemy will be used n:inst the trulh.
Oh, friends, let us raise up an arrny of
over W.mi.'M of people anil let our cry be
"down v lib the traitor." Let party strife,
he forgotten, and all he united on the
broml platform of one common brother
hood. Let us ke--p our onslltiillon and
the Hlble before u. Iwet our only war
fare be that ogidnst sin and bud govern
ment. Coming generations will never be
good cltlitens of Ibis republic unless we set
before them a noble example. We can
best honor our patriotic dead only, my
friends, by being true men. The flower of
a true nnd beautiful life Is the flower to
put upon the soldier's grave. The very
best cttlson, the best pntrlot, the best sou
of his country is he who gives the best
man hood to his country.
Liquor Truffic Condemned.
Go out Into the town, or county, or city
In which you live, never stop until you
have closed every contemptible saloon
that la In tho .place; throw the whole
weight of your moral Influence ngalnst
the Infernal traffic. See thnt the Habhath
day Is kept holy and reverenced as a day
of reft. Elements are being Introduced
Into our country which are already a men
ace to our civilization; drive these out;
compel them to submit to laws which we
believe are laws of Uod. Drive out Intem
perance, socialism, anarchy and every
other form of evil that threatens our na
tion; labor hard for social puritv.
I have no hesitation In saying that I be
lieve tho war In which you were engaged
was the greatest recorded In the annals
of history. It wa not the emancipation
ot the negro alone, but the principle that
was behind It It Is-the character' of the
principles for which men contend more
than their personal bravery that adds lus
tre to their achievements. Let us be as
true to Uod as we ure loyal to our coun
try, and saints on earth will rally around
us
America stands a mighty power In the
family of nations, calmly conscious of our
Ktrength, mindful of our responsibilities.
Isiberty wo bought with a price, and if
ever the memory of that struggle shall
have lied our land, theu erect their monu
ments. Inscribe their tombs and write
their cpl tiiiphs. Let us be mindful of the
duties which lie htfore; let no political
bribery mar the sacred trust committed
to our care. Oive us men like Henry Cluy,
who once said: "1 would rather bo right
than be president." Let us have peace
upon the principles of eternal Justice be
tween man and mun, north and south, be
tween east and west, peace everywhere.
And now, members of the Ornml Army
of the Republic, my last word Is to you
personally, 1 never expect lo stand lie
fore you ngaln ami look into your faces
end apeak such words us I have the privi
lege of doing tonight. One of your tlrst
lesson was to obey, command. All along
In my ministry I, too,' have learned to
obey the commands of Christ. He bid
me to preach this glorious gospel every
where to dying sinners. 1 feel that my
words tonight would be meaningless nnu
lost were I to fall In striving to preach
this g ,snel to you and pointing you to Mini
who gladly laid down HI life for your
sake, that great commander-in-chief of
nil armies on earth and in heaven. Dur
ing your lifetime you have mingled with
both sadness nnd glory, but the most vital
question Is In regivl to Its ending. Will
It be all glorious with wtars, or will It be
tilled with gloom and regrets? Clod grant
that when the end comes for you, for come
II must, that you mtiy then gladly lay
down your armor and be able to say: "I
hav- fought a good light; I have ke;it the
fcith, and henceforth tin re Is laid up for
toe a clown of rlirhleoiisnevs;" and that
yours will be the palm of victory and the
crown of elo,-y.
