FRESH AIR AT NIGHT.
u seems a great puy mat ?im
plenty of fresh air all about us. we
should not make the fullest use of it.
But, as a matter of fact, there are
very few who. for twenty-four hours
each day, breathe air that is in the
best condition for purifying the blood
when taken into the lungs. As a consequence,
the bodies of those even
who consider themselves well, to say
nothing of the feeble, are not in the
best condition to withstand any disease
that may attack them. This is
undoubtedly true of all diseases, but
is especially marked In the cuze of
tuberculosis. Many of us can remember
when this disease was regarded
with almost patient fatalism
?the one stricken was to be made as j
comfortable as possible, and the end
awaited.
Common sense has even taken us
a step farther, and proclaimed the
idea that the breathing of pure air
both night and day will put the human
body in the very best shape to
resist the attacks of disease, whether
it be tuberculosis or something else.
Impressed with this idea, the State of
! *J0
Massachusetts has instituted a crusade
in behalf of fresh air for each
and all of its citizens. Its sanitariums
for the treatment of those afflicted
with tuberculosis are achieving a
most gratifying success, with good
food and pure air as the chief factors
in the treatment; but the State is not
content to stop with this result
gained, it is not enough to neip men
and women to regain their health?it
is worth while to try to prevent other
men and women from becoming sick.
To this end, there are being sent out
through the State what are called
tuberculosis exhibits. These are not
(as the name might imply) of an unpleasant
nature in any way.
The exhibit simply shows appliances
that any one can make, which
will enable him to secure the desired
fresh air during the night; models of
outdoor "shacks" and cabins that,
while affording protection against
storms, will enable one to have practically
the advantage of sleeping out
of doors; models of sleeping rooms
as they should and should not be,
with scores of photographs that show
a multitude of out-of-door plans of
living in actual operation.
Some have sought this result by
building out-door sleeping rooms on
verandas and veranda roofs. But
there is natural hesitancy in going
ou# of doors to bed in zero weather,
and a further hesitancy over the attracting
of a neighbor's attention by
such unusual proceedings. That this
difficulty may be easily avoided is apparent
from a consideration of the
cuts which accompany this. They
illustrate some of the devices that appear
in the tuberculosis exhibit which
I have described, and show how easily
one may remain in his sleeping room
and still enjoy all the benefits of
sleeping out of doors The advantage
of this method of getting fresh air is
apparent. One may disrobe in a
warm room and get into bed before
nnttinf* himcplf intr> nnmmnnifntinn
r?wv...a
with "all out-doors." In the morning
he can sever this connection and then
arise in a room that is moderately
warm?and he can thus avoid being
regarded as "queer" by his neighbors.
The plans shown are so simple that
one is much more likely to put one of
them into execution than he would be
to build a sleeping room out of doors.

t*on devised by a Rhode Island inventor.
In the ordinary oil can the '
oil is caused to flow by depressing
fore a window. A light Iron frame
(Fig. Ill) fits over the head of the
bed and within the window frame.
This frame is covered with cotton
cloth, as shown. Aiier one is snugly
tucked in bed under this shield, with
the loose cloth at the end and side
tucked in about him, he can raise the
sash and be practically out of doors,
though his body will be in a warm
room. In cold weather the head
should, of course, be protected by a
warm cap. and if the window is on
the "weather" side of the house, it
will be well to place an awning on
the outside of the window, as one
does to keep out the sun in summer.
This wiL'. effectually protect the sleeper
from rain. A blacksmith will readily
make such a frame as that shown
in Fig. Ill, and it can be fastened to
the inside of the window frame by
screw-eyes and hooks, as suggested.
A square frame (Fig. IV) can be
made at home fr^m laths, which

and be easier to cover, since
the cloth could be tacked on.
Another device is shown in Fig. II.

which is shown in Fig. V. The iron
legs of the bed will have to be slipped j
back to the Dosition shown in Fig. |
II, or a wooden frame for the bed can ?
be made by any one handy with tools, e
The bottom of the awning is entirely t
open, while the roof has the centre
opening that is shown in Fig. V. The
upper end of this opening is protected
by a raised frame covered with cloth
(bed-ticking appeared to be the cloth
used in the exhibit), while the lower
part can be left open, to be covered in
stormy or windy weather by a curtain
on a regular spring roller, as shown.
A cord runs from the curtain up over
a little pulley at the top of the win- I
dow frame and hangs down within !
reach of the occupant of the bed. It |
seemed to the writer that a simpler j
covering than this could be construct- \
ed, and one that would always protect I
from storms, while always letting in j
plenty of air. Such a Toof could be j
made as in Fig. VI, which is a roof !
of cloth projecting some six inches at j
the sides and at the back, and raised j
above the entirely open top, as shown, j
With such a plan it might be well to :
provide a cloth screen, or curtain, to j
close the open side from which a i
strong wind were blowing. The bot- !
torn of the sash (Fig. II) can have a j
breadth of cloth tacked to it, to come i
down to the bed, if it is desired to |
keep the room within warm daring 1 e

THE PULPIT,
A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THc. REV. J. H. MELISH.
Subject: Faith Once Delivered.
Brooklyn, N. Y.?The Rev. John
Howard Melish, rector of the Church
of the Holy Trinity. Clinton and Montague
streets. Sunday morning
preached on "The Faith Once Delivered."
The text was from Jude 3:
"The faich which was once for all delivered
to the saints." Mr. Melish
said:
A Pentecost seems to be talcing
place in Korea. Forces, no doubt in
large part political and commercial,
but also supremely religious and educational,
are bringing that Eastern
nation to a new birth. Men everywhere
are inquiring about the "new
religion." Churches are crowded
many times a day. Teachers and
preachers cannot meet the need. We
seem to be witnessing what has not
been seen for centuries, a nation
turn Christian.
What is of great significance in the
religious awakening and conversion
of Korea is the kind of Christian religion
which is receiving this overwhelming
response. If the reports
ar-> true, it is a religion with 'two
sides. Those who have received it
and who are extending it among theii;
fellow countrymen know only "The
Father" and "Our Elder Brother."

to multitudes of us Western Christians
of value have no existence to
those Eastern followers of Jesus. God
ind Jesus they know, but "Christ"
md the doctrines of the Trinity, the
Incarnation, the atonement, are not
sven names. Their religion is withDut
dogma.
Is this a sufficient statement of the
Christian faith? I do not mean if it
Is the sum total of the Christian
truths. Of course, it is not. Neither
io I mean if it is the "irreducible
minimum." without which a roan
?an hardly be called a Christian. But

Such Questions can be answered
>nly by the deep experiences of life.
Jife. the abundant life, is the te~t of
;ruth. There are times which try
nen's souls. Then it is that a man's
>ooks are opened, his words are
veighed, his traditions are tested. At.
luch moments the soul is concerned
lot with words, but with realities.
Se demands rpal answers for real
luestionings. Such was the exneri;nce
of Job when disaster befell him.
Jnder the fire and the whirlwind not
mly Job's property, but Job's theilogv.
was swept away. Orthodoxy
iroved too weak to lean upon. Such,
oo, was the experience of Saul of
rarsus, when he discovered that law
ailed to make men righteous. He was

Iriven to the fundamentals of faith
>y the facts of life.
ii iann m uoa as tamer ana
resus as Elder Brother 1s sufficient
t must answer the deep questionings
irhich snring from the deep experimces
of life. These questions are
hree in number. Behind all philosoihies
you will find them. To answer
hem all religions have set themelves.
The first question is: Is there a
xod, and if there is what is He like?
t has its origin in man as a reasonng
and moral creature. What is the
irigin of what we see and feel? Is
his universe self-evolved or is it the
xpression of some power which
noves through it and presides over
t? If there is such a Power, what
3 it like? Has it any of the attriiut.es
of personality, intelligence,
ighteousness, love? Behind all huoan
doubts and questionings is this
uothcr of questions, Is there a God?
iue seconu quesuon is: wnen a
an sees upon his soul the blot of
l sin can it be removed? What theoogians
call sin is' a universal exlericnce.
When Herbert Spencer
ame to America he was entertained
it a banquet by the most learned
ompany which had probably asembled
here. At the end of the
irogram of speeches Henry Ward
3eecher was called upon. He praised
cience and eulogized the debt which
eligion owed the men who toiled
;o painstakingly to ascertain truth. <
^.nd then suddenly turning aside, he
nade an appeal to universal experitnce.
There was not a man there,
le said, who had not done something
or which he was ashamed, who did
lot wish he had not done it, who
vould like to have men know it. who
vould not if he could wash his soul
dear of it. Scientist, philosopher.heologian,
statesman ia that learned
issembly rose to that appeal to univer;al
experience. So say all men. There
lave been times when cin weighed
;o heavilv unon ths consciences nf
nen that they have sacrificed their
:hildren, thrown themselves under
he car of Juggernaut, fled to molastic
penancc. His as deep an exjerience
to-day as c-ver, but it is ex)ressed
differently. Has my life been
>f any use to others? is the question
ipon man's soul to-day. Not have
! doue wrong so much as have I done
ight? His the sense of failure in
ivell-doins that weighs upon men.
5in, individual and social, is a universal
and tragic experience.
The third question is: When a man
lies shall he live again? The sight
?f a dead face is the mother of all
uysteries. It compelled liirn to ask
whether that soul bad gone, ana in
50 asking it lifted man's thoughts
:'rom the temporal to the eternal, the
natural to the supernatural, the human
to the divine. Before the experience
of death man stands questioning,
eager to know, half believing,
half afraid, wondering whither
liis friend has gone and he himself
svill go.
These are the deep questions
which spring from the deep experiences
of life. How does faith in God
as Father, in Jesus as Elder Brother
give sufficient answers?
T + It sm.S. ~ .1 TT~

like? "Yes," fays Jesus, "there is
a God. fie in my Father and your
Father." Some men there are who
find it easy to beiieve ou their own
experience that God is Father. Others
can believe only when the sun is
bright and the sea is calm. When
the storm breaks their hearts faint
within them. But the multitude of
us men and women are glad that
Jesus is part of our life. Our brightest
momeuts of assurance get their
light from Him: our darkest moments
are not altogether black be
cause He is pare of life. It is ?y
faith in His experience, suppoited by
His character, Hi? sanity, His intlh,
His deeds that we keep faith in Go;l.
Faith in the Elder Brother makes us
His fellow children; keep faith In 1
the Father through storm and sunshine.

ur>on his soul can he remove it? "A
man," said Jesus, "had two sons."
One went into the far country and
painted his soul black with loose and 1
unworthy deeds. When his money
was gone he felt his disgrace and
shame. He did not commit suicide:
he went straight home. No sooner
had he reached the road outside the
gate when he was hailed and his j
father ran to meet him. Whatever \
the spot may be upon the soul if a t
man will take his disgrace and shame 4
to God he will find in Him a Father. 0
So with social failure. Is the time t
short that remains? Waste it not t
in vain regrets over it. The past is ^
irreparable, but the future is still c
one's own. "Come let us be goine:." e
When a man dies shall he live c
asain? Knowledge gives no better t
answer than in the days of Aristotle. r
What seems to be scientific proof, j
when examined, turns out to be B
simply man's hope expressed in scien- ^
nlirssps Rut: man has trust- a
worthy evidence, not in the spiri- I c
tualistic sense, but in the inference s
as to what the other world is like
from what we know of this, in his
hopes and faith, in the testimony of
his poets and pronhets. And of all
such witnesses to life that desires to
be eternal stands Jesus, our Elder
Brother. Betore the gate of death
He stands and holds the key. It is
sight of Him, master of Jife and
death, that strengthens our faith in
immortality, quickens our hope for
the dead and casts about life here and
there the golden radiance which surpasses
the sunset glow.
For all these experiences of life, in
answer to all these deep questionings,
faith in God as Father, in Jesus as
Elder Brother is sufficient.
In Korea the Christian Church has
learned to ask this faith of its con- a
verts and no more. When will the p
church at home learn this much- e
needed lesson? There are questions e
which this simple faith does not an? 0

reached the educated Greek than the y
questions came: What is the relation a
between Jesus and God? How is the ?
Elder Brother related to the other g
brothers? What is the true idea of ?
incarnation and of atonement? Men have
a right to ask these questions. 0
That right was won long ago by Ori? q
gen, of Alexandria. But let it b< ^
clearly understood that all such matters
of speculation, while legitimate, v
are not the "faith once delivered." a
The faith once delivered is related to E
speculative faith, as it historically
has found expression in the creeds n
and doctrines of the church, as the j
tree is related to its leaves. The B
faith once delivered, trust in God as
Father, in Jesus as Elder Brother is ^
the tree. The creeds and doctrines
are the leaves. From season to sea- f
son they must change as new life t
pushes off old forms, because the tree
itself abides. ^
I wish I could persuade men who ^
to-day reject all creeds, and with
them the faith, to see this distinction f
between faith and creeds. It is possi- t
ble to reject the latter and live by
the former. I wish that I could persuade
men who identify faith and .
creeds to make this distinction. It
would do much to win the thinking '
world to the religion of Jesus. It is
a real distinction. The faith once
delivered existed many generations t
before the most veuerable creeps of
Christendom were born. It will con- .
tinue to inspire and strengthen men
when all our creeds shall have passed h
away. The faith is once for all de- ~
livered. J
Subtlest thought shall fail and learning n

Giving Is Getting. t
The old proverb-writer uttered a o
great truth when he said that there c
was a giving that tended to increase t
and a withholding that tended to s
poverty. Giving and receiving are n
not two different things; the one e
means tne otner. 'mere is, in tne u
divine economy, a great principle of n
exchange by which giving and receiv- u
ing are coincident. Especially is this fl
principle operative in the moral and o
spiritual realm.
The most significant thing in life
and development is hospitality. We
open the doors of our heart and life E
to ennobling and inspiring visitors. ^
We give of our capacity; but how E
much moro do we get. God asks r
us to give our hearts. We do so and s
how much more we get. Jesus j
Christ asks us to give Him a place i
in our life. We give it, but the re- 0
suit is not a giving after all so much ^
as it is a getting. p
Be hospitable then. Be hospitable a
to all the divine influences of life, ^
and let it not be a narrow, grudging j
hospitality. Be hospitable to God; j
to Jesus Christ. Give Them your t
best rooms. Let Them be your guests, B
and They will give you Themselves d
in return. v
Giving is getting, and the greater t
trie investment me greater iub jc- p
turn.?Rev. C. S. Macfarland, in |(

4'Can't Hold Out." ^
Jesse Pullen was a reformed and
converted drunkard. One of his old
drinking companions expressed a fear
that he would not be able to hold out.
To this Pullen said:
"You know that I run a little 8
steamer in the summer. I don't wait j?
until I get up enough steam to carry
me across the Sound before I start.
It would blow the boat all to pieces, f
The boiler wouldn't stand it. But *
T crat ohnnf tmpnfv nnnruls of
steam up, I sing out: 'All right,
captain, go ahead.' Down in the hold
I have plenty of coal, and as fast as 0
we use up the steam we make more; j
and so we go across the Sound,though s
we never have more than twenty or
thirty pounds at any one time. Now s
the Lord Jesus, when He saves us, g
doesn't start us off with enough grace ?
lor a lifetime. Poor human nature j ^
couldn't stand it, 1 suppose. But He j
wipes out all our past sins and gives j jj
uy just grace enough for one day's r
duty. But, mind you, He provides j
plenty of fuel to make more grace, f,
oven the Bible and prayer and the
Holy Spirit; and so, kept and sheltered
in His arms of love, we have
grace and help in time of need."?

'he Nation's Drink Bill?It Represents
at Its Best an Annual
Waste and Loss of $900,000,000
?An Object Lesson or Two.
William Hargreaves, M. D., of
'hiladelphia, author of Worse than
Vasted, estimated the drink bill of
he United States for 1900 at $1,65,000,000.
He explains his method
of computation; says he has made
hese estimates for twenty years, and
hat they have never been questioned:
hat he has laid them before gaugers
if the revenue department, before
x-saloonkeepers, and other persons
apable of judging, and they agree
hat his estimates are as nearly corect
as it is possible to make them,
le insists that his figures are conervative,
below rather than above
he actual cost. We will- take only
11,200,000,000 here, for purposes of
omparison. This is probably on the
afe side.
We will now placo an object or two
n the foreground that we may better
udge of distance and size. The pubic
school system of our land, that
lest exponent of democracy and
;reatest factor In our national assinilation?for
every dollar that the
American citizen pays in taxes for
>ublic education ($200,000,000), he
lays not less than sit for liquor.
Lgain, the United States of America,
i country vast in extent, first in reources,
great in achievement, liberal
n expenditure, a world power?the
otal expenditure of this great nation
or one year ($593,000,000 for the
ear ending June 30, 1902), coverne
the legislative, executive and
udicial branches; including the !
irmy, the navy, Indians, pensions,
lostofflce, interest on public debt and !
ivery other last item and source of j
ixpense; these liberal expenditures j
if a liberal government, which the
itizens do not always contribute
without grumbling, amount to just
ibout one-half of what the same
leople pay out, in a like period, for
trong drink. Subtracting, now, the
300,000,000 which the liquor trade
iays back to the people, and we have
n absolute waste, or loss of $900,i00,000
and upwards; one billion
lollars, approximately.
Let it not be forgotten that this
ast sum represents, at its best, an j
mnual waste and loss. That the j
noney is not sunk into the ocean,
lut is all kept in the country, does
lot make it one whit less a waste and
oss. The expenditure has brought
m returns. It is as if this country
hould engage half a million skilled
workmen, set them at making pi,nos
and fine furniture, having them
urnish their own materials, and pay
hem an average of two thousand dolars
a year for every man; then give
trders that each night the entire
inished product of that day's work
hall be burned up. The money paid
or this work all stays in the coun- i
ry, but it brings no return. It rep- |
esents destroyed wealth.
The United States could better af- |
ord to support a standing army of a i
nillion men, gathering up all the
tnemployed and relieving every
vercrowded business and profession,
nd pay each man an average of a
housand dollars a year, having him
nit of this sum furnish his own
ioard, clothes and ammunition?
onld better afford to support this
iody of men. and keep them shooting
,t targets, than it can afford to pay
. similar sum to a nearly similar I
lumber who now spend their time j
,nd labor at making and selling liqior.
Each eats up the same amount i
f wealth of others' toil; neither
;ives anything in return; it would at
east leave its supporters sober, probbly
very sober. This country could
fetter afford to support in absolute
dleness, as lords and gentlemen, the
00,000 men who run retail liquor
stablishments in our land, paying
hem $5000 a year each, the salary
f a United States Senator, than it
an afford to pay the same sum to
hese same men, as it now does, for
plHnc Rtrnner drink. Out. nf t.hfl
aoney now spent for liquor, our govrnment
could buy out, every twelvemonth,
the entire wine, spirit and
lalt liquor industry of the country,
ising land and buildings for the beneit
of the people, and have a number j
f millions left besides.
Most Inhuman Influence.
Not long since, Magistrate Whit- ;
nan, of New York City, in addressing
he New York Lawyers' Club, was j
Qoved to make a most scathing ar- |
aignment of the liquor traffic. He |
aid: "Personally, if I had the power, j
would close every saloon in the ,
Jnited States, and I am not a crank
r fanatic on the liquor question. I
rink myself, whenever I care to, and
irobably shall continue to do so. I
,m willing that every other man shall
lave the same rights that I have.
Jut when you sit on the bench that
sit on and see seventy per cent, of
he cases which come before you, and
ee the misery, distress and crime, all J
lue to liquor selling?I say, any man i
pith red blood in his veins is likely
o feel that the world would lu innitely
better off if the liquor saoons
could be crushed out, cost what
t may. I believe it is the most i
bominable, the most outrageous and
he most inhuman influence in New
rork City to-day."
Drink and Labor.
Drink-emancipated labor can beome
its own capitalist; can stop
weating and child labor; and can I
revent women and girls from being !
orced into the labor market to work I
or low wages, because of the drunk- '
nness and idleness of the men.? i

Work of the Saved.
Frank Anderson, superintendent
f the Gilbert Hall Rescue Band, of
Joston, Mass., several years ago was

o devote the rest of his life to the
alvation of men. His work has
rown, and he is now asking othera j
o help him in the good work he is J
