The Century for March has two articles on faith-cure—one pro and the other con. From the latter, by the Rev. Dr. Buckley, we quote as follows: “Families have been broken up by the doctrine taught in some of the leading faith-homes that friends who do not believe this truth are to be separated from because of the weaken- ing effect of their disbelief upon faith, and & most heartrending letter has reached me from a gentleman whose mother and sister are now residing in a faith institution not far from this city, re- fi & all intercourse with their- friends, ‘il"f'd neglaeeting the most obvious duties of ife. “Certain advocates of faith-healing and faith-homes have influenced women to leave their husbands and parents and re- side in the homes, and have persuaded them to give thgusands of dollars for their purposes, on the ground that ‘the Lord had need of the money,' *“This system is connected with overy other superstition. The Bible is used as a book of magic. Many open it at random, expecting to be guided by the t pas- sage that they sce, as Peter was toid to open the mouth of the fist fish that came up and he would tind in it a piece of money. A missionary of high sianding with whom 1 am acquainted was cared of this form of superstition by consultin, the Bible on an important matter ol Christian duty, and the passage that met his gnze was: ‘Hell from beneath is moved to meet thee at thy coming.’ Paganism can produce nothing more superstitious than this, though many oiher Christians, instead of ‘searchin the Scriptures,’ still try to use the Bible as a divining rod. “It feeds upon impressions, makes great use of dreanis and signs and state- ments foreign to truth and pernicious in there influence. A young lady long ill was visited by a minister who prayed with her. and in great joy arose from his knees and said: ‘Jennie, you are sure to recover. Dismiss all fear. The Lord has revealed it to me.’ Soon after, physi- cians in cousultation decided that she had cancer of the stomach, of wnich she subsequently died. The person who had received the impression that she would recover, when met by the pastor of the famuly, said, ‘Jennie will certainly get well.” The Lord will raise her up. He has revealed it to me.” ‘Well,’ said the minister, ‘she has not the neryous disease she had some years ago. The physicians have decided that she has cancer of the stomach.” ‘Oh, well,” was the reply, ‘if that is the case, she is sure to die,’ A family living in the city of 8t. Louis had a daughter who was very ill. The members of this family were well ac- quainted with one of the leading advo- cates of faith-healing in the east, who male her case a subject of prayer, and wrote her a letter deelaring that she cer- tainly would be cured, and the Lord had revealed it to him, The letter arrived in St. Louis one day after her death. These are cases taken not from the operations of recognized fanatics, but from those of leading lights i this ignis fatuus movement. *“It is & means of obtaining money under false pretenses. Some who pro- mulgate these views are honest, but un- derneath their proceedings runs a subtle sophistry, They establish institutions which they call faith-homes, declaring that they are supported entirely by faith, and that they use no means to make their work known or to versuade per- sons to contribute, Meanwhile they ad vertise their work and institutions in every pe : way, publishing reports in which, though in many instances want- ing in business aceuracy, they exhibit the most cunning wisdom of the ehildren of this world, * % = *“The horrible nixture of superstition and blasphemy to which these views fre. quently fead is not known to all persons.

Shafeldt writes to Science from Fort Wingate, New Mexico: ‘At one time it was very hard for me to believe, in- deed, that any person hving possessed such a power as being ablo to shufile across the carpet of a room and hght s as it issued from the jet of burner by aply touchin, it with the the tip of the finger. lghxw at present, however, two friends, at least, among my acquaintances who seem to be capable of performing this feat at all times and under any circumatal Now I find similar phenomena exhi to a vory general degree in my own per- son at Fort Wingate hero. This point 18 over 6,000 feet above sea level; the onl water in the aeighborhood is a small vond—a puddle, really—and a few insig- niticant springs. The air is usually clear and highly rarefied; indced, ail the con- ditions seem to bo favorable to the exhi- bition of electrical nppearances. “Only the other day, while pacing my room, passing, as L did eo, each time, over a large woolen Navajo blanket vhat Iny spread out on the floor, a circum- stance urose which called upon me to touch the cast-iron urn that ornamented the top of all wood stove in the apart- ment, and which had a fire init atthe time. Before the tip of my index finger touched it, by a distance of tully a centimeter, there was displayed in the intervening space a brillinnt electric flash, accom- panied by a report that could be dis- tinetively heard in: the adjoining room above ordinary conversation. The ex- periment was repeated three or four times, but the display became more and more feeble with each trial; it regained its original force, however, after I vaced across the blanket on the floor a few times. Additional experimentation went to show that this electrical discharge was considerable greater from the tip of the index finger than from any of the others of the hand, and gradually diminished 1n regular order as we proceed to the little finger; and, further, it seemed in my case more evident in the left index rather than the right one. When ull ten fingers were drawn together and then brought out to within a_centimeter’s distance of this stove-urn, the flash and report ap- peared no greater than it did from the index finger alone. ‘*At times, apparently depending upon the meterological condition, my entire system seems to become thoroughly charged with this animal electricity, and most small objects crackle aud snap asI handle them, leaving as night draws near, an uncomfortable, aching sensation in my arm, and extend- ing more or less down my side. During the same time, should my wife take any small object from my hand (asa draughting ven or the sponge glass upon which such n pen is cleansed) an electri- cal report follows the contact that be distinctly heard thioughout a Targe room.

This girl during a stay ot nearly three years at Fort Wingate had never been conscious of nn{ electrical phenomena associated with herself, similar to those which I have experienced. Previous to coming here I had resided about a year in Washington, where I had never™ ob- served such exhibitions, so far as my own person was concerned, and they only gradually developed at this place.” e -— The Chinese Theory of Medicine, Globe-Democrat: According to Kwong Sh: a Chinese doctor in St. Lows, by the celestinl theory of medicine, w partakes much of the nature of their th ology and philosophy, man is closely a sociated with and influenced by the ex- ternal world, For instance, there are five planets, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury, which are supposed to have influence over the /five viscera—stomach, liver, heart, lungs and kidneys; that there are five elements 1 man, earth, wood, fire, metal and water, corresponding with five colors, f’ollow green, red, white and black, and these related again to the five tastes—sweet, sonr, bitter, pungent and salt. The combination of the blood and the breath, they hold, constituta life, and the withdrawal of one of these means death, With all| this fanciful theory there is also woven into the system, in & manner atterly inexplicable, the belief in the androgynoas ~nature of all things, that evn-rythmg is part male and part femule. uch " a thing as experimenting’ in medicine is un- known, Iissecting they hold to be in- human, and vivisection they denounce in unmeasured terms. With this view of these things it is impossible that the Chinese should have any surgery beyond perhaps taking off & mashed limb or” cut ting out a bullet. They have a sort of anasthetic, not 80 strong as chloroform, bt it is seldom used. The heart is the center of thought; the brain being, in the Chinese physiology, but an inferior part of the man. ‘There is no chemistry required in a Chi- nese doctor. Pretty near everything that comes to hand is medicinal in’its nature, and the Chinese pharmacopwia is as ex- tensive as their dictiouary would be if they had one, for no word™ will express more than one idea. The father of Chinese medicine was Shyy Nufi.}ifl MV_N about 8,000 years ago, being a sort of emperor, or prinee, or demi-god. Shun Nong wis not made like an ordinary mortal, He was transparent, and could see right through himself. Whenever anything went wrong with him he just looked into himself to sce what was the matter, and then took his medicine and marked how the dose got to the spot. — Dancing ve, Kissing, e seen thousands of people gath- Rocky Point day after day in the summer, with dancing going on all day long, and never a word or an act that 1 should be unwilling to have a young per- son see, es Colonel Higginson Harper's ' I ha scen at country gatherings were dancing would have been thought i romping and rudeness y' g girl ought to take w of this th is some- curions in the way in which like the Rev. Sam Jones lavish ir indignation on the $esser evil and ignore the greater. ‘I have been hunt- ing for a dancing Christian for many d Mr. Jones in a late address ve nover found one, for I used to run with that sort of cattle before I was converted. I don't want any man to cut a tigure on a ball room floor with his arm around my wife or daughter, and I don’t believe you do. Purity—purity is what we want.” But if the contact of the arm is objectionable in the dance, where there is no kissing, does that contact become purer when it is the prelude to a scuffle and a smack. Area youur; girl's lips less sacred than her gloved hand or her waist? 1 confess to a surprise some- times at the composure with which moth- ers can sit in a ball room and see their daughters revolving in the arms of men whom they know to be coarse, if notvile; but the contact is, after all, comparatively shght and temporary, whereas the thought of having received a Kiss from such a person would be, to a truly refined woman, an ignominy which the waters of the Atlantic ocean could mot easily wash away. To those who believe it possible or de- sirable for very young people to lLve without social “intercourse, or to live wholly by religious and intelloctual com- panionship, I have nothing to say except to express disagreement with their belief. 1f all that our youths and maidens can reasonably demand is a prayer-meeting or a course of Sanscrit, be it so. Buti they are to have social amusements to- gether we must consider which are the most_innocent; and if the choice lies practically, in our country towns, be- tween kissing and dancing can uny per- son seriously doubt which is best? preA Y e BURLINGTON ROUTE.
