Why Is It That of ri Given Numberof Practitioners Equally Informed In the Technique of Their Profes sion, Some Will Succeed Whllo Others Will Fall. At the recent cession In this city or the Interstate Homeopathic nnsocia tlr.n, Dr. J. T, Orecnleaf, of Owcgo, N. V., rend a paper upon "The Per sonal Equation." which premed worthy of circulation unions luvnicn. Below are Its sulistnntlnl portlonr: "With his eye rlvettrd to the u Tiler end of the mighty tube of the- lnrppst teloscopf! In tho world, nits an old Man way-hatred and hent with -.-earn of study, but with his mind tr.iin-d to observe thu celestial lindlr . and to calculate the grand oycies "f the swinging planets.

THE PEHSONAIj KQITATIO.W All these men are trained ohserveis, nil are anxious to bo exact and dell nit?, but they are human, and It lakes Just the time above for the- brain of eaei to formulate ana express the word that announces that the impact of the waves of lisht is perceived by tho retina. A new world may bo dis covered, or an old and well worn the ory may bo substantiate.!; in cither case, it takes Just the time mentioned above. This two .seconds, or three seconds, or four seconds, Is the per-, Hontil equation of each man. In other matter:--, and on other er rands, each man has his peculiarities, his "pcrsonrl equation." Some eynle has said that every man has his weak spjt, and one optimist has declared that every man has his pood side. For todaj. then, lot the s. lloglsm stand thus; major premise, every man has his personal conation; minor premise, physicians aie men; conclu sion, physicians have theii personal equations. The Important problem is this: Riven a number of good men (nil the. graduates of all the medical schools in any one year, for Instance), accept the postulate that all arc equal ly well equipped for their work, both In personal address, in acquirement, In the theoretical as well as clinical department, that all have u fair start In tho wide world of the sick and Mifferlns. why Is it that of the gross number onl 2S per cent, ever suc ceed as physicians, either In their ability to cure the sick, to imatch death's victims Jrom his grasp, to win and hold the res-poet and conlldence of the community, or to make a living for themselves and families. MKN DIFF Kit AS MKK. It Is manifestly idle for tho writer of this paper to say to a body of in telligent, well read and practical men like this, that to diagnose the case, venture a careful prognosis, give the necessary advice as to antisepsis, hy giene and care, and to prescribe the right drug, or perform the correct surgical operation, Is by no moans all of tho science of medicine, or the art of surgery. All this Is requisite to KuccesH, but It Is not what makes Un successful physician. Without consid ering each man's "personal equation," It will bo Impossible to huggest the cause of failure, or to Indicate the foundation of success In a given case In the case. cited In this paper, eacli astronomer knows his personal equa tion, and that llgure is deducted from every report that he makes. Other things being equal, the llrst and most Important thing Is to know one's "personal equation." How quickly does the community learn this, tind how' readily do they discount what a physician reports! Tho man who is given to sombre I .leas and to gloomy prognosis Is rated ns an alarmist, while tho happy, merry, careless man. who Is always hopeful. Is given all the confidence ho deserves, but no more. AMl'SEMKNTS. .lust here comes the delicate task of touching and commenting upon the doctor's amusements, horse racing, ball games, golf, billiards, card, swapping yarns In saloons and cigar stores, pho tography, microscopy, chemistry, bot any, ceramics, literary work, all uf thesa are the well known methods of "knitting up tho ravelled sleeve of care" in use by physicians.

Doaton. no doubt that he Is free to choose, but there Is also a thoroughly established rule, that a man's personal equation enn bo quite easily learned from these voluntary evidences of his nature. A celebrated humorist has said that If he had a. mule Hint wouldn't kick, blto nor strike, he would watch hi in closely to sec where tho devil did woilc out, and tho very fact that all must have a change, and enjoy a dally re creation, Is quite safe basis for tho effort of learning a man's individuality. Tho community Is watching thrir phy clans and they are pretty apt and fulr Judges of character. Let tho physician study lihiirolf, and If he finds that any element of his personal equation is detracting from his fulfilment of that which he desires to he, lot him abandon It at once. Whatever Is detrimental must be given up, whether It bo manner, habit, mat ters of dress, or hobbles or Tads. Cut them all ofT, as a cancer Is excised from the human body. If there Is a special love for some branch or department of medicine or surgery, make a specialty of It. The skillful physician spends a goodly amount of tlmu with himself and "puts himself In the patient's place" and so learns to correct his own pecullniltles to become at length "teres alquc ro tundas." AVOID CONCEIT. No piofcsslou conduces so much to conceit, to arbitrariness and to dicta torial ways as the practice of medi cine. Ah soon as the front door of tho pinion's house Is shut behind him. the physician becomes tho autocrat of the house, his will Is law, his every request Is compiled with, bis slightest suggestion Is noticed and obeyed. This all tends to make him Insufferably conceited and well nigh unbearable. What Is the remedy for correcting this objectionable part of the personal equation? Tho answer Is not far to seek. Attend medical societies, and ad vance your own opinions. If one gets the worst of a discussion It will show him his error; If he is light, It will but benclit the rest of the profession. At all events It will bring about a salutary meekness, and to a certain extent, reduce one's opinions of him self and his attainments to a correct and wholesome minimum. Incidental ly, but of far more Importance, Is tho amount of knowledge and the now Ideas and methods that may ho glean ed from tho papers and discussions of (i given session. 1TIIUC HEALTH. Medicine Is a liberal profession, and the piactltloner thereof should never forget to make a study of public health a pait of his personal equation. Ho should loot: to the sanitary condition of his town, he should be foremost In hav ing properly built school houses, he should not neclect the prevention of crime as well as disease. Ho should have an eye to the testimony of ex perts In tho courts of his Immediate vicinity. He should see to it that the weak and feeble are not npuressed In .that section of the country which Is blessed by his ministrations. He should be foremost In fostering and promoting all kinds of moral reform. Another barnacle that fastens itself to the hull of his professional ship is carelessness In collecting his accounts. Tho ohysieian is a public benefactor, whether he will, or no, vet he should do one of two things, make good round charges, nnd collect them, or clve bis services. Ho puts the value on his ef forts when lie makes the charge. If his patron cannot pay, have It under stood t';at the account Is wholly re mitted no half-way work. THE PATIENTS FKIEND. The physician's personal equation Is large enough to allow of his attulnmcnt of the friendship of Ids patients. No one likes to be treated In a purely pro fessional way. A Utile care slvcn to tho surroundings of the case, a few well-chosen questions as to the daily life and circumstances, soon put the tactful man in possession of data suf ficient to neimlt him to obtain an In telligent and helpful Influence over the sick person, which not only conduces to Immediate recovery, but lavs the foundation for continued association In the days of health, and subsequent mutual labor, In good ways, ami for good works. For all the foregoing, the writer claims no patient, no position of orjgl nality, and he disclaims any Intention to pedantic Instruction. He would not dare, even to seem to lecture this body of able men. Standing before a body of personal friends, like those assembled here, the writer Is always Impressed with the thought that none of us are at our best, that much that Is high, noble and gland lies dormant In the hearts and souls of these friends, and he Is ever on the alert to help to bring It out, to have his trusted and loved brethren take the place they deserve, and which Is often usurped by Inferior minds, be cause of their better understanding of themselves. This paper, then, Is simply suggest ive, a bare and bald outline to be lilled In and amplified by each one for him self. Just a puff of powder, and a little snap to Jog the nerves of anyone who may be good enough to receive It In tho spirit In which It Is uttered, hoping that we may all become like tho CJreat Phyrlclan, who not only "went about doing good," but who also "spoke as one having authority, and not as the scribes."

ISA, xi, a-io. BY J. E. GILBERT, D. DM LL. D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. CONTENT The student should read chapters vll, vlll. Is, and x. thereby obtaining the perspective of our les son, Strengthened by tho promise (vl, 3!'.) Indicating a restoration of Israel through a spared remnant, Isaiah bo gun his mission. His llrst recorded words were spoken to Ahuz, the grand son of ITjr.zlah (vll. 1). warning hlin of approaching trouble. From that be ginning tin; piophet unfolded tho fu ture of surrounding nations, but al ways with an undertone of tender ro gard for the chosen peoplu (x. 20), and with his eye llxed upon their salvation nfter centuries of spoliation because of their sins. There Is. however, con stantly manifest the spirit of conll dence In Jehovah, In whose power ho trusted (x 3") to accomplish all that had been predicted. As the consum mation wo are Introduced to tin! elev enth chapter which treats of Messiah's kingdom. In the first five verses we have a dtserlptlon of tho King, in tho other live tin. condition of His king dom. HESCENT Mes!ah shall come in tlu line of Jesse, the father of David (I Sam. xvl. 1), and bo Ho shall bo David's seed (John vll. 12), as tho Jews well understood. This was ac cording to the promise made to David (Psnlm cxxxll. 11), and kept In mind by tho prophets (Jer. xxll. f) causing tho entile nation to reverence tho Great King, nnd explaining the ex pressions given concerning Jesus (Matt Ix, 27). Hut In our le?son(Verso 1), It Is said "a rod shall come forth out of the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots." This Is in accordance with the figure In vl. 13, where tho troo Is cut down, referring to tho destruction of Judah, leaving only a small i faction with vitality suf ficient to produce a branch. Messiah shall be outgrowth of tho remaining piety in the wusted nation. The title thus given to Him was highly appro priate and it afterward filled a large place in sacred literature (Zech. III. C). The unfavorable origin might prejudice some against Messiah (Isa. lili. 2). SPIIUT The descent from David ac counted for the humanity of Messiah nnd established the faithfulness of God In kciplng His covenant (1 Kings vlll. 34). Hut the stock, far above tho aver age, was slnf.il (2 Sam. xll. 0), and could not by nny law of heredity pro duce the exalted person who occupied such a conspicuous position In prophetic thought. Isaiah therefore declared that another and higher nature should be bestowed, able to contend and use this lower nature (Verso 2). The one came from the old stump of a broken people, the other from "the spirit of the Lord." That spirit, characterized by wisdom, counsel, might and knowl edge, was after all the main thing. It had been given by measure to all men (Titus il. H), but to Him It would be without measure (John 111. 34). That spirit was for limited time with other men (Gen. vl. 3), but it rested upon Messiah, becoming part of His nat ure, forming His personality (Matt. III. 1C). WIspo.M Tho prophet next shows the result of uniting tho Divine and the human. The Messiah, this God- "Oh, It you could have seen my first patient! He was a lovelv boy of nine teen from somewhere out on the Mex ican border. In the four days In which he was under my charge I grew very attached to him, but suddenly, when I was perfectly sure he would soon get well, a violent change came and In spilo of every care he died. My heart failed me completely, but there was no time for weakness. Too many cases were needing attention. "I was put in another ward tempor arily nnd took especial charge of one very peculiar patient. Ho lay stolidly staring at mo without a particle of expression in his eye, and by his apathy rather than by real opposition refused all nouiislnnent and medicine. 1 couldn't Induce him to speak at llrst. and if took ten minutes of coaxing to persuade him to swallow a teaspoonful oi beef tea. Finally he did so, how over, and after another live minutes ho consented to take another and then another, the stolid expression present ly changing Into ore of Intelligence. "If you could havo seen the change! Why, he laughed nnd Joked nnd made such grimaces that my orderly and I were convulsed with laughter, and even the weak men on the neighboring cots feebly joined in tho laugh. His nonsense was absolutely contagious, so much so that at last I was obliged to slip away Into the dispensary to give him an opportunity to sober down and incidentally to prepare some malted milk, When I returned live minutes later his expression was still u laughing one, nnd tho orderly, al though attending another patient, gavo me a knowing smile as I leaned over tho weak man's cot. Hut this time the patient did not speak. He was dead, with the smile still on his lips nnd a strange, half-mlschlevous wink llng-rlng nbout his eyes." Steel Is King. From the Ago of Steel. In the- steel rail wo have un example that lu point of magnitude Is one of tho striking features of tho present century It Is overlapping all directions as to eh mate, und territory und Is destined to span the globe with ita cvcr-lncnusing gridiron of lines. In ship-building steel Is superseding tho old-tlmo wooden ship, und Is consigning tho timber of the oak and teak to humbler uses. In brlrtgo building It Is already In ascendancy, tho forgo and not the forest supplying mate rial. In tho construction of tunnels and other untlerways steel and musonry ni. ready dispute tho honors, and la tho con btructlon of tho hugo edlllces that rlso abovo tho chimneys and spires of tho modern city the now ubiquitous metal is paramount. In tho freight carrying ser vice of tallways tho hteul car Is becoming more than a suggestion. The bargo that carries grain und coal und thut finds Its way along winding nnd shallow rivers and along the canals that Intersect cities, farms and Industrial centers Is coming over to tho steel maker. In nearly all new foim of machinery, lniplumentu nnd tools tho outcomo of tho mine, the fur nace and tho i oiling mill Is finding place. In storage elevators und tanks and down to tho humble barrel tho same la obecrv nolo. Metallurgy In ull Its hlutory, from Vulcan to Dessemcir, has never had ho largo a field of human service or no mani fest a destiny us at present. What the twentieth century may brlnr about re main to be seen. It goes with the tell man will possess n high order of In tellect (Verse 3). Most men, Indeed, to soma extent, all men, nre under tho dominion of the senses. This was the beginning of the sinful career of the race (Gen. III. 0) nnd In all ages since the wrong estimate placed on mater ial things, to tho neglect of spiritual things, has been through ho diminish ed power to seo the value of this lat ter (Cor. iv. 4). Man has been 'the victim of his bodily appetites. Hut this now King of men would have a "quick understanding," a clever per ception of the things of tho Lord, nnd by that ho would adjust all things. How fully this man Illustrated in tho ense of Jesus, proving him to havo been tho Person foreseen by Isnlah, appears from several familiar passa ges. Wo read that when twelve yearn of age, Jesus confounded tho wise men (Luke II. 17), that In His ministry He was more thnn a match for the learn ed doctors who wore frequently silenc ed (Matt. xxll. 4C), and that the olll cers sent to arrest Him confessed His superior wisdom (John vll. 40. JUDGMENT Isaiah then shows that this person of such exalted nature nnd of such excellent wisdom will adminis ter tho government In a masterly way, for such wrs the woik of tho Judge, Messiah will take His peat of author ity, Ills garments fastened with righteousness His official robes bound about Him by the Spirit of justice (Verse 3). He will defend tho cause of tho poor as agalrst the rich, Ho will reprove th oppressot In tho interest of tho humble Verse 4), n prediction also fulfilled In tho case of Jesus (Matt, xl. 5). So much for tho benevolent side of Messiah's dealing with men, His pity and help for the unfortunate. There will also be a form of stern f.everlty toward tho ungodly, whom He will punish (Verse 1). He will smite tho earth with tho rod of Ills mouth (Mai. Iv. C). He will slay the wicked with the breath of His lips. It will be noticed that In the-se figures of speech there Is a plain reference to the fact that Messiah will employ tho truth for the accomplishment of His purpose. This corresponds with the utterance of Jesus (John xvill. 37). PEACE What shall be tho Internal condition of a kingdom ruled by such a king in such a spirit? Tho urophet answers (Verse 6) by several figura tive expressions showing that all will bo peaceful. This accords with rep resentations made In other .parts of Scripture (Mlcah Iv. 3). Hero those who havo hitherto been enemies en gaged in conflict vlll dwell in concord tho wolf with the lamb, the leopard with the kid, tho young lion with tho f-itllng, all submissive to a little child. This was not merely a change in the character and conduct of men, but of tho beasts as well (Ezek. xxlv. 23). Elsewhere It Is intimated that God would even make a covenant v Ith the beasts by which they would more fully respect tho rights of men (Hos. II. IS). Those that are now ferocious will bo domesticated, living with men, the hear and the cow feeding together in the fame field, and the Hon eating straw like the ox (Verse 77). All shall dwell In security (Verse S). Tills will bo a return to that happy lav when In the time of man's innocence the ing, however, that the country with tho largest resources of natlvo ore, the high est efficiency in manufacture and thu most Intelligent In enterprise und aggres siveness will be the premier of nations, so fur us material prosperity goes. Steel today is king. -. WHAT FOREIGNERS THINK OF OUR RAILWAYS. What a few foreigners havo said of American railways may be of Interest: LI Hung Chang, tho great viceroy of China, said: "Nowhere, elso in the world are there such fust nnd luxurious trains ' as In America. Jlarquls Yumaguta, field marshal of tre Japanese empire, said: "The speed, the comfort, the luxury of your railroads, 13 a marvel to me." I'rlnco IHlkolf, imperial minister of railroads of Kussln, said: "Thcro is nothing In Europe to comparo with your railroads." Sir Henry Truman Wood, special rep icsuntatlve of the Lirltlsh government to tho world's fair In ISM, said thut "no where. In Europe could there bo found such luxury In travel and such excellent service as are given on tho railways of tho United States."

One other feature of Messiah's reign Is mentioned, tho real cause of tho other conditions, us Is Indicated by thu connective. (Verso 0). Tho knowledge of tho Lord Khali fill the earth us the waters cover tho sea. This statement occurs elsewhere. (Hub. II. 14) Ignornnc of God Is assigned as tho cause of sin und trouble, (Hos. Iv: 6.) Our Savior declared that tho Jews persecuted Him becausu they did not know Him, (Luke xxlll: 31) and Paul alludes to the fact. (I Cor. II: 8). On the contrary wo loam from many passages tho value of knowledge, (Psalm xlx: 7) as a liberating force, (John vlll: 32) nnd as a means of growth and progress. (Isa. llll: 11.) To moke all men know tho Lord, (Heb vlll: 11) will therefore be the end of earth's sin and shame and tho source of all blessedness. Hut this knowledge of God which Is life, (John xvll: 3)ls not merely an Intellectual per ception of truths pertaining to Him, valuable as that Is, but rather that ex perience of the heart which comes from direct and personal fellowship, (I John 2: 4). ENSIGN. Thus far our lesson has dealt with Messiah and His people. The peace, safety and knowledge predicted wore In Ills Kingdom, which would be set up only In the hearts of believers. (Luke xvll: 21.) Hut that kingdom would have a commanding influence uiHin those outside. (Versu 10.) This same Messiah shall be an ensign, n badge, or signal to be seen by other people, (Isa. v: 2C) a flag or banner about which they may rally. (Psalm I.x 4). Thls-banner flung out to the breeze, the emblem of truth and righteousness of lovo and Justice, shall awaken hope In the minds of the oppressed, and the Gentiles, the people who know not God, shall seek unto it. (Horn, xv: 10.) This agrees with Christ's prediction. (John xll: 32.) This Is. the same as to say that whatever glory there may bo In tho kingdom tho king himself will be most glorious, the chief object of In terest, the source of benign lnlluence, tho power attracting men to himself. And as a result He will experience sat isfaction among his people. (Isa. llll; H.) CONCLUSION. The preaching of tho gospel has been generally conducted upon the supposition that the end to bo sought is tho salvation of Individuals from evils that may befall them In a future life. This is part of the pur pose, but by far the larger design Is to set up Messiah's kingdom on the earth, as already described. So John preached, (Matt. Ill: 2) as Jesus did af terward. (Matt iv: 17.) Entrance Into this kingdom was the first duty, (Matt, vl: 13) enjoined upon men, sought by all agencies set In motion, (Matt, xvl: 18) to be kept constantly In view, and to be followed by earnest desire and labor for the extension of the kingdom. (Matt, vl: 10.) The highest typo of a New Testament Christian Is a man whi believes that Jesus was the Messiah foretold by the prophets, who accepts Him as saviour and master, (Matt, xl: 2S-29) and who seeks to bring the world to Him, (Matt, xxvlil: 18-19) that a new social order may be established In which shall be peace and righteous ness. est economists of Europe, writes: "Tho continent of Europe, by tho bonds In which it bus always held prlvato enter prise, has been able to follow only with a tardy step the examplw of tho United States, which nation has realized In Its railroad sstem threo Ideal conditions, rapidity, clllciency and a good market, while Europe enveloped lu administrative formalism was destined to attain neither of theso three conditions."
