C. f Doubtless Jesus preferred to work in Jerusalem as it v/as the center of the worship of His beloved fellov; Hebrews. He also loved the great open spaces and ^.wrought therein as He had opportunity, but He knew that His atonement for the sins of mankind would be effected in the Holy City. A^ on other occasions, crowds throng about and there are plenty to. ask what, they hope will be puzzling questions. A blind beg gar is in sight and the query is raised about the cause of his affliction, for they sought to relate all present affliction to some sin in the past. That question was answered in the book of Job, but, as today, many would rather raise questions than to believe in the Lord. Jesus did not look upon the man as a mere exhibit in the argument. It is safe to say that while the conversation was going on coins were not cast into the hq,pd of the needy man by those who were onlookers. In a miracle of healing Jesus placed a mould of clay over the sightless eyes and bade the mendicant “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam.” Perfect sight was the result of the man’s exact obedience and the power of the Almighty. Then tongues began to wag and no age, has a premium on this kind of procedure. The jibcrs tried to implicate the parents when they did not get a satisfactory answer from the man so joyously restored. Meanwhile in all frankness glory was given to God. In place of re joicing, the temple authorities cast him out. Then it was that Jesus sought him again and by a gift of sight to the soul opened the utmost glories of the Kingdom of God unto him. The Gloden Text has a uni versal application!? “I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not waft in darkness, but shall have the light of life,” John 8:12.

She said to the head-mistress: “Mary is not much of a student. She likes history and does fairly well in French, but in arithmetic I think she is almost a total loss.” Amazement appeared on the face of the head-mistress. “Do you mean to tell me,” she exclaimed, “that you have brought us a child who has faults! After sitting here for years and listening to mothers whose daughters were paragons of virtue and intelligence, this is in deed a novel experience!” Most of us are constitutionally unable to see any defect in those we love. It might be better sometimes if we could. Perhaps if we could analyze our children cold-blo<idedly we might b6 able to bolster them with added strength. On the other hand, what a blessing it is that we do not always see too well. In cleaning out my desk one day I ran across a photograph of our first baby, taken when he was about six weeks old. I remember how proudly we sent it to all our relatives at Christmas time; how positive we were that there had never been in all history so beautiful a child. Today the picture gives me a fit. It must be my youngster, for my wife is holding it. But instead of the beautiful cherub I remember, what is she holding? Something that looks exactly like a summer squash. Without the blessed blindness of women it is difficult to see how any marriage could be a sustained success. We men know each other that no one of us is very good. Yet our Wives have the silly notion that we are great stuff. And by their faith they keep us going. Centuries ago a city was attacked by the armies of Syria. A prophet lived in that city. A messenger rushed to him in great alarm: “Alas, my master! how shall we do?” To which the prophet replied calmly: “Fear not; for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” . . . “And the eyes of the young man were opened, and behold the mountain was full of horses and chariots round about Elisha.” There are forces of goodness in people that are visible only to the eyes of love. There are forces of power that can be estimated only by the eyes of faith. The important thing is to be intelligently blind to the surface defects, and to be able to see and appreciate the things that can not be seen. & THE TAMI1Y .DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES.

SATCHER, Pastor. -X Within the last week I have had quite a patronage in “blood pressure cases.” In this particular interval, all the subjects were ladies. 3 could not help noticing similarity that was almost uniform. All were women past middle age—60 and beyond. All were of stout build— 170 pounds or over, in weight. All except one—a Jewess—were farm dwellers. All except the Jewish lady were of fair complexion. Most all were of German extraction, liberal feeders. All except the city woman had reared large families of children. And all of them, with out exception, carried their high tension without kidney disease. It is very common these days to encounter cases of high blood- pressure, the kind that produces hemorrhage in the brain, and, par alysis, if not sudden life ending. Hence the subject is of rather keen importance, both to patient and physician. First of all in the treat ment the cause must be sought for. My habit is, first, to test for kidney disease, that being in many cases co-incident with high arterial tension. If not “kidney trouble,’ what then? Well—are the arteries hardened? Or, is there evidence of a chronic liver derangement? How about the spleen, the largest of the ductless glands? Is there any focus of infection by harmful germs? What of the elimination by bowel and kidneys? Is the colon functioning? The heart? The voluntary and sympathetic nervous sys tems? Lastly, the blood-condition as to viscosity, and its power to properly feed the muscular system, which includes the heart itself. Diet? Regulate it according to need, not routine. We are progressing—slowly, it may be—arid thoughtful patients cer tainly aid the physician. That’s the ‘ } why” of this letter.
