D.D., Pastor of Jefferson Park Presby terian Ouurch, Cfucago Ciiicngo, Jan. 25.—In this sermon. siHvially addn'ssod to the graduates of n si; gle profession, there are many sug gestions that must prove helpful and inspiring to all young people, irrospec- l .ve of sex or catling, who are about to enter upon a life career. The text is Golossians iv, 14, “Luke, the beloved physician.” Have you ever explored the east side of New York city—that is, whore the Bowery is situated? There many poor live. There the masses are huddled to- ; eth ’r in tenements, it is the home of hundreds of thousands of nun and women who every winter are fighting the two man eating bloodhounds, cold and hunger, which are snarling and snapping at tliOjin like famished wolves. But, though the east side of New York city may be the home of the poor and. in many places, of the social out cast, yet in 1890 there was seen upon its streets a most remarkable funeral. That day 15,000 human hearts were aching. At least 8oo men were walk ing in line behind that hearse. There were sixty pallbearers, every one of v.Tom to more or less extent was in- dobt^d for his health or life to tin* man whose body was then sleeping in the casket. “Who is this man about to be buried,” asked an eyewitness, “a king or warrior, a statesman, an ora tor, a governor, a city official'?” No. He was a plain, simple physician. Ho was a l>r. Aronson, who had given up Lis whole life to work among the poor. He not only eared for the siffv body, but also for the sick soul. He had in herited a small fortune^ from Ids fa ther, and when he entered the homes of the destitute he would leave hero a little and there a little along with his prescriptions. While he lay sick hun dreds and thousands of poor people whom he had befriended came to in quire at his door. They knelt by hun dreds in the street about his house, praying to God to restore to them their good physician. When he was dead, with their own hands the poor carried him out to his last resting place. Dr. Aronson was only a beautiful type of Luke, “the beloved physician.” Paul would never have written so ten derly about him unless Dr. Luke had been that kind of a man. In imagina tion 1 can see Paul coming to his room at night and saying: “Where is Luke? Where is Dr. Luke?” Then some one would answer: “Paul, after you had finished preaching to that great audi ence tins evening and Luke had closed the service with prayer, some one told Dr. Luke about an old Christian saint w'.i i was sick and could not get out to the service. Then Dr, Luke immedi ately said, ‘Why, 1 will go at once and see her.’ 8o he took along his medi cine bag in one hand and his Bible in the other. He told me to tell you not to sit up for him. He did not know when he could get back.” “Yes, yes,” L./.f disappointedly answers the mis sionary; “that is just like Dr. Luke. I never seem to be able to have him at all for myself. He is always calling upon some one that is poor and sick and in trouble. My, how tired he must get!” Then some morning I see Paul wake up. He looks over to the other side of the room, where a bed is all .mussed up and yet without an occu pant. “Well,” says Paul, “I guess Luke is off again on one of his calls. I do hope he will he back in time to take ship for Corinth. We certainly must sail today.” Then in imagination I see the companion of Paul running down to the wharf just before the gangplank is drawn in. He has been employing every moment of the time to visit the sickroom, to give a last proscription and to offer a last prayer, and as he rushes up to the ship I can see scores and scores of men and wom en whom he lias helped reach forth their hands as they cry: “Goodby, Dr. Luke! Goodby! Goodby! May God bless and keep and reward you for what you have done for us! Goodby! Goodby!” Then 1 can see good old Dr. Luke turn and say: “Goodby, my dear Christian friends! May Christ, the Di vine Physician, heal your- diseased physical bodies and your sin diseased souls! Farewell until we meet in heav en !” A Career of UMefulneNN. 1 have dwelt on the lives of these two men—Dr. Luke, the beloved physician of the early days of Christianity, and Dr. Aronson of our own time—because I want you to realize how much the world is indebted to consecrated med ical talent. A career of unbounded use fulness is open to the men who are be ginning the study of medicine. Con vinced of this, 1 now preach to the Chi cago medical Undents. Over 2,000 of them are prepjfing for their chosen pro fession vvithii) a few blocks of this church. Woijld that they ml^ht go forth into the 1 world not only brilliant physicians un<j surgeons, but consecrat* ed Christian tien! May God help me in addressing|them to speak the right word in the right way. It may be that of some studtut within sound of my voice some biltorian may write half a century benco-such a tribute of esteem as Ian Maclarpi wrote of Dr. MacLure of Drumtochtj and as Paul wrote of his companion, i“Luke, the beloved phy sician.” 1 * The good Christian physician is today one of the molt honored of all men. Thlirf sentence \jould have been a very startling one tothave been made a cen tury ago. Dr. IV. B. Davis in a late address before |i great convention of doctors and sutceons declared that in ,:(* carl/ piiii or the last century physi- ri... s Vi it* practically soc .il noueuti- ks. “.hey had virtually no place in Ei i<-p.an a ay." They were looked upon in the san.o way as piaywriters and actors were regardt*! during the Shakespearean < ra. But now among the n. st honored men are to be found the doctors. As Sir Morrell McKenzie was honored for prolonging the life of the Emperor Frederick, so each scroll of liopor and knighthood in every court of Europe has placed upon it the name of «ie or more physicians. The physi cian's advice in political matters has often made and unmade* cabinets. Who was the greatest r(‘constructor of the Spanish-Auierican war ? General Leon ard Wood, the governor of Porto llico and Culm. Yes, but you have* not giv en Leonard Wood his best title*. He* was Dr. Leonard Wood, the family physician of William McKinley. Who was the greatest rival of Bismarck, the mighty molder of the German empire? Dr. Virchow, the world famed pathol ogist. Dr. Davis said, “The greatest pathologist the world has ever known was- also a great statesman.” The IMiyslolniiN 0|>itor4anitIcN. But as 1 go on showing to you young medical students the* golden opportuni ties of future usefulness which the* con secrated ten talent doctor can wield I must here and now halt. I must stop long enough to show you that great op portunities for good always imply great opportunities for evil. Some two years ago 1 attended one of the Bush med ical classes and heard there a farewell address given to the graduating class by Professor I). 11. Brower, a distin- guished specialist on nervous diseases, it was a brutally frank and direct ad- Iress in many ways. Its blunt state ments again and again evoked derisive laughter through the raised tiers of sents filled with students. But as I ivciit home I said to myself: “Dr. Brow- ?r is right. An honest, skillful physi cian is oac of the noblest works of God, but an unprincipled physician is one of the most despicable, loathsome and cowardly recreants who ever breathed the breath of life.” When the hand beneficent in healing is devoted to un dermining the purity of society, it is like the soft and velvety paw of the leopard, which covers a terrible and merciless claw. Oh, young man about to enter the noble medical profession, I beg of you not to prove false to your trust! I bog of you when you enter the home of a man who surrenders in to your care the life and the safety of his children that you never prove un true by advice or action to the trust reposed in you! No matter how brilliant an unprinci pled doctor may bo. no Christian man or woman can afford or lias any right to employ him as a family physician. 1 once heard of a reformed drunkard who was supposed to be dying. The physician by his bedside said, “The only medicine which can cure him alcohol." Then the wife, who sat near and had lived through the horrors of being a drunkard's wife, turned to the physician and said: “Doctor, if the only medicine which can save him is alcohol, then I refuse to let him live. Yes, let him die sober rather than live drunk.” Tlie Mont Honored of Men. The best family physician is the man who, in addition to the diploma of the medical faculty guaranteeing his pro- iiclency, bears the commendation of < 'lirist on his private, life. The Chris tian physician is not only among the most honored of men, but without doubt he can become the most beloved of men. He has greater opportunity for winning the confidence and love of men than the lawyer, the statesman, the author or even the minister. He has such opportunities of winning the confidence and the love of people that our foreign missionary societies are more anxious to send out the Christian medical missionary than they are to send the Christian minister, pure and simple. It is the fashion now in certain cir cles to disparage the physician. Some people say that not only is the doctor a quack and a charlatan, but they have no use for physicians at all. They ex ultantly boast that they have never taken any medicine in their lives. They contend that most people would he far better off if they never consulted a physician; that the doctors kill as many -people as they cure, and that most people are hypochondriacs, which means that most diseases of the human race arc purely imaginary. But though some of us in the past juay have boast ed that we had 40 use for doctors, alas, there has come a time when many of ^us were only too glad to change our minds. • Some years ago, us a merchant, on account of worry and overwork, you became physically run down. A friend told you that you ought to see a physi cian. You sneered at him, but you con tinued to grow worse. You became so weak that you had to take a carriage to business. One day you felt an aw ful pain shoot through your lung. Bncumouia had stabbed your breath ing apparatus as with a sharp knife. You uttered a cry of pain; you at tempted to stagger to your feet; then you rfell back, white as a corpse and with your forehead covered with a cold, clammy sweat. The clerks bundled you up and took you home. Your wife at once rang the telephone and called the doctor. Then you did not order the physician out of the house. You watched him. You knew, as you lay there, that your life was held in the palm of his hand. Ob, how faithful that doctor*was! He came in the morning: he came in the evening. When you had that sinking spell, he came at midnight, lie worked and worked and worked over you. Yes, you can re member it as though it were yesterday when the doctor turned and said: "Well, my man, I think the crisis is past. I think you will get well. But \yc have had a hard fight for your life v>s. an awful hnrd light.” Then iu that crisis were you-not willing to let j that family physician give to you njiiy ^ adiicc ho could? -If that physician Xit that time had conic and prayed at youv ^ bedside and as a Christian doctor hatP. told you about the love of the Good jl Physician ( lirist, would you not have ! listened to him and have gladly said “Amen?” * Young man about to enter the medical profession, by the recital of this simple scene, a specimen of the experience which at some time or other takes place in almost every home, I want you to fully realize your glorious gos pel opportunities. I want you to be able, like the good old Dr. Luke, to go to the patient's bed with a prescription suggested by your medical books in one hand and a spiritual prescription taken from your Bible in the other hand. I want you to be a glorious Christian physician, like Dr. John Brown of Scot land or Dr. Bush of Philadelphia or Dr. James Y. Simpson of anaesthetic fame or like Bishop Matthew Simpson, who learned how to be the greatest Methodist preacher of his day by being lirsi a practicing Christian physician and by praying at the bedsides of his sick patients. Your gospel work can he made glorious for God and for the betterment of the world If you will here and now promise to love and live for (he Good Physician, who at Laza rus’ tomb called the dead back to life. M»*«12i-;r»i**» Chief Trluniiibit. But Hie purpose of the medical pro fession is not only to make tile sick well, but also to prevent the well from getting siek. \\'e are ail ready to agree that the chief duty of the good lawyer is to keep his clients out of court. Why should we not be ready to confess that the chief purpose of tin* doctor is to keep his palicnis as long as possible out of the hospital and the sickroom? That the chief triumphs of tin* med ical profession have been won during the last century in the prevention of disease rather than in the cure there is no doubt. How have the great plagues which used to sweep over Europe been halted? By the power of tin* sword? No. By the power of the bacteriol ogist's microscope and the physician’s pen. Dr. Earle, a leading professor in tin* Chicago College of Physicians and Surgeons, told me that when he first commenced his practice in Chicago 30 per cent of all his patients’ sicknesses were due to bad water and poor drain age. With the improvement of Chica go's drainage system that 30 per cent of sickness is being gradually eliminat ed. Why is the longevity of the hu man race being increased year by year? Because people do not work as hard as they used to work? Oh, no! An aver age man today goes through more hard work and nerve exhaustion and excite ment in a week than his grandfather did in a whole year. The longevity of the human race is increasing in spite of the strenuous life we lead. It is increasing because the doctor, year by year, is telling us how to cat, how to dress and in what kind of houses we should live. Young man about to enter the medical profession, you are soon to be one of the great baud of teachers of physical hygiene. Can you not be a leader in spiritual hygiene also? Your calling opeps for you the door of many homes. It not only opens for you the front door, but also the closet door, in which hang the bleached bones of a family skeleton. Von are to be the recipient of the heart's secrets as no one else in the community. You will have your linger upon the pulse of a community and will ultimately know whether it beats sinfully fast or sinfully slow. Will you not say the right gospel word tc that young man who is doing what he ought not to do? Will you not speak a warning word to that wife, that mother, that child, who may be drifting into sin? They will gladly take Chris tian at'vice from you, which perhaps they would not take from a minister. They may say, “A minister is merely working for his salary,” but they will know that you are disinterested in speaking in the name of the Lord Je sus. In Christ’s name will you not try to prevent sin as well as to cure sin afb r it has already come? 1 have been trying to show you the glorous opportunities of a Christian physician's life. But now there comes over me the overwhelming thought that perhaps you are not a Christian young man. * Perhaps you may be very bril liant in your medical studies, but have never yet confessed the name of Jesus Christ. Are You u ClirlMtlanf “Yes,” answers some young man in my audience, "that is the truth. Since I came to Chicago I have only been once or twice In a city church. We medical students have to work so hard that when Saturday nijrht comes we ai*' dead tired out, so 1 always take my Sabbath for rest and fun.” Alas, I know only too well that what you say may be true; that your life may be very similar to the hundreds and thou sands of young men who every year enter our large cities to get a medical education. I know that your state ments may be too true, because scores of my old friends and classmates be came physicians. They have told me many of the temptations besetting a medical student’s life. Besides that, I have lived among the young medical students not only in New York, but also In Philadelphia. But, though you may declare that since you have entered the medical school you have not lived a Christian life, yet there are still two or three tremendous facts that, 1 think, may work a change In you, two or .three facts by which, I believe, you are go ing to be redeemed for Christ and con fess him and live for him as a Chris tian physician. In the first place, I know that you came from u Christian home. It is a wonderful truth to tell that nearly all the men who enter the medical or legal or ministerial profes sion come from Christian homes. As scon as a father and mother become converted their chief desire seems to be to give their boys a liberal educa tion, so that they can make the most out of their lives for Christ. Thus, young man, no matter where you go or what you do, you can never get away tfrom the many parental prayers which have been offered in your behalf. They are always tugging and pulling you to ward a better life. They are pulling your heartstrings now toward Christ. 111 the next place, you arc not a hojneopath in a spiritual sense. You mi£- be a disciple of Hahnemann, as many of you are, but in a spiritual sense you are not. In tin* realm of the higher life you do not believe similia siiuilibus curuntur, that "like cures like.” You do not believe that "sin cures sin.” Oh, no. You know and you feel only the blood of Jesus, the Saviour, can make you as spotless as the driven snow. So, now, I feel that the purer and holier life is dawning upon you. 1 feel that all the good and the true in you are leading you on to fully consecrate yourself to the Mas ter's service. \Ve have often heard how brave the surgeons have been in battle. President Boosevelt declared that there never was a braver sot of men than the doctors who belonged to his rough riders. At San Juan hill, upon their backs, they carried the wounded to the rear, while the Spanish sharpshooters were firing at them from among the trees. That was brave. That was heroic. But today I want you to be just as brave and true. I here and now want you, in order to in sure your future Christian usefulness as a family physician, to surrender your whole life to the service of Jesus Christ. You will do it, will you not? lit* I.iUt* Dr. I.nkt*. And so, young physician, as you are now ready to consecrate your life to the Saviour 1 am going to tell you about a beautiful scene which perhaps may happen in your life and death. 1 hope the death scene may happen many years from now. Some day in the dim future, let us hope when your life's work is drawing to a close, there will be great excitement in some village or in one of the neighborhoods of a great city. Everywhere the word will be whispered: “Have you heard the news? Have you heard the news? The doc tor, the good old family doctor, is very sick.” Then the news will be printed In the village or the city newspapers that the good doctor, the family doctor, is dead. Then in your family home there will be Assembled a tearful gath ering. The young men and the young women there will not only remember that you welcomed them into the world, but also will tell how you put your gentle hand of remonstrance upon their shoulders when they were about to drift away into sin. Then the older folks will tell how you prayed with them when they lost their first babies. And the minister will tell how your presence was always the strongest spir itual re-enforcement in the church. And the poor families will tell how you not only paid for the medicines out of your own pocket, but also how you got your friends to help out their winter need with clothing and food and coal. And while these weeping friends are telling of your good works, as the weeping widows did about the corpse of Dorcas, there will be heard a flutter of wings. Then tin* same messenger which car ried up your soul—your redeemed soul— to the white throne of God will return. And the same voice which spake when the white dove hovered over the Christ standing in the Jordan will speak then. And then all the weeping friends will recall the divine commendation, “I was sick, and ye visited me.” Oh, my young friend, will you not here and now consecrate your life to the cross? By the grace of God will you not be a Christian family physician? Be a good Dr. Aronson or a good Dr. Luke. [Copyright, DOU, by Louis Klopsch.] Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Ill a UK i'll ll«*r Mind. The Boston charity workers report a case of a trying sort that can no doubt be matched in any large city where systematic efforts are made to relieve actual suffering among the poor. One woman, the mother of a large and much neglected family, rejected with scorn some comfortable secondhand clothing that was brought to her to make over for the children. “I don’t want them old things!” she snorted. “You can take ’em right back. There ain’t no style about ’em, and they don’t lit any of the children. I can’t bother with things that don’t lit!” In view of the fact that the children were In des perate need of proper clothing, says the Transcript, this reception of a much needed benefit was a severe tax on the patience of the donors, hut the stress of the family’s circumstances prompted further overtures, which, combined with a spell of cold weather* induced the woman to reconsider her attitude, and the children were made comforta ble.
