Plcturca Taken at Pasteur Institute
and Brought to This Country to
Illustrate Doctor Lee's Ad-
dress on Medicine.

over the moving picture screen at the
American Museum of Natural History

S Lee, professor of physiology in Co
lumblu, showed his audlctice^ how the

In speaking of his animal pictures,
Doctor Lee, who is a leader In con |
futing the sntlvlvlsectlonlsts. made
tempered remarks concerning them.
"In view of the great extension of
the commendable human* movement
of the past half century," said he, It

tude of denying the right of a man to

Jects, and it has as Its practical aim
the establishment of legal restrictions

degree from slight limitations to total
prohibition.

stances of modern procedure Many
antlvlvlsecilonlsts ure frequently sin

mental anguish over the supposed un-
warranted sufferings of animals. Hut

The speaker said that one of the
main causes of distrust of medicine
and doctors, which, he nald, had exist
ed since ancient days and was Mill In
force, was the appalling Ignorance
which people possess of their own
bodies and bodily processes.
"The ordinary man feels certain
symptoms," said the lecturer, "but he
does not understand their real sig

are Important or unimportant, or
whether or not they demand a doc

the hope tiiuf If he neglects them they

diagnoses his own case and attempts
to treat it. If, at last, he Is forced
fo appeal to the doctor, he learns that
of the real significance of his disease
he knows nothing, except what the
doctor may tell him."
After the lecture, it being the con-
cluding one of a seiles, there was an
Impromptu reception to Doctor Lee

as lay members who were In the audi-

This Is a honie misslonury lesson, j
We are asked to read Isaiah 2 4 What
home-missionary thoughts are to bs i
found there? Tbos« glowing ,sentence3
are In many particulars faithful pic- j
tures of our wealthy modern nations. J
There are the unexampled movement
of immigration, the aping of evil cus-
toms from other lands, the vast wealth,
the mammon worship, the pride, ths
social wrongs and oppressions, tha
misgovern ment, the devotion to fash-
Ion and luxury, and in it all a nucleus
of nobility that wlii bring about tha
utmost triumph of godliness Tbera
Is as great need that we should work
for our country as that Isaiah should
work for lits; and, though we are so
much Inferior to Isaiah, yet God calls
us In essentially the same way to tbs
same great service.
The literary qualities most conspic-
uous in Isaiah is the wealth and bril-
liancy of his Imagination. No other
Old Testament writer has the sams
power of picturesque and graphic de-
scription. There is no other Hebrew
author who furnishes the reader with
so many quotable sentences. One can
Imagine the people of Jerusalem slop-
ping one another on the street, to tell
and hear the latest from the prophet.
This, of course, was precisely what li«
desired and Intended. Isaiah was a
numorlst and satirist in the truest
sense of the word. This Is evident
from Ills vivid, quaint description of
the strange manufactured idols and
'.mages of worship, from his curious
and vivid picture Vif female luxury and
fashion in his day.
The events of his time may be
summed up In two momentous occur-
rences. The first was the advance of
the Assyrians upon the small states of
Syria and Palestine, paralyzing their
national ?onsclousness, and with this
also their national religions Juilah
was not destroyed like Samaria, but
its independence was lost, and it was
the prophet's chief political task to
enable his country to adjust Itself to
the new conditions. As a politician
Isaiah's maxim was "no politics." Ha
strongly dissuaded Ahaz from entan-
gling himself with Assyria, but when
his advice was disregarded and Jiulali
become subject to Assyria he resist-
ed with equal strenuousness all at-
tempts to throw off the Assyrian
yoke.
The second occurrence vyas the fall
of Samaria, by which the mission of
united Israel became the heritage of
ludah alone During all these troub-
lous times Isaiah was the leading
statesmen of his country.
Isaiah was filled with fear of a
vision because it was a vision of Ood,
and the Hebrews believed that no one
could see God and live Isaiah loved
God, and instinctively he prepared to
join bis voice to tlie seraphs chant,
but ere the harmony could pass his
lips he caught his breath and was
dumb. A horrible sense of uuclean-
ness seized him
One of the bright seraphs, "glowing
as with fire, ami with wings like tha
lightning flash," took a hot stone with
tongs fromNhe altar and touched Isa-
iah's lips with It in token of purifica-
tion. The hot stone is a stone kept
in ail ancient Oriental households as
n means of applying heat to household
purposes
Why does Jehovah seek a man to
go on his errnnds, when he has tha
winged seraphs? Because men can
reach men better than angels can.
Only once did God choose a completely
sinless preacher Always, but that
once, God lias chosen sinful men: and,
not seldom, the most sinful of men he
could get to speak to their fellow men
about sin and salvation Isaiah was
quick to offer himself as the mesen-
ger. because he felt himself, with his
sin removed, both tit and able for
service, and wauted to show his grab
•ude for what had been done for
hlra.

sions? It contains a message of doom
and a message of hope and promise.

WHY YES. SHE GOT THE NOTE
Beautiful Rcses Appreciated. but
There Was a "Fly in the

A young man whose gallantry Is in
excess of his means sought to remedy
tills delect and to savo the expense
of the money required for the pur
chase of (lowers for his lady loves by
arranging with a gardener to let him
have a bouquet from time to time, in
return for his cast-off clothes. So It
happened that one day he received &.
bunch of beautiful roses, which he at
once dispatched to her house. In
sure anticipation of a friendly wel-
come he called on the young woman
that evening, lie got a frosty recep-
tion
"Did -or did you get my flowers
today?" he was finally forced to ask.
"Yes, and the note that went with
them."
"Note? Why, did I send a note""
"You did. A disgraceful note,
scrawled with a blunt pencil, on dirty
paper. Here it is. I don't understand
It, and 1 don't think you are very
humorous."
The note read as follows:

The Lesser Evil.
Gresham college in 1719 was the
scene of a famous serio-comic duel be-
tween two celebrated doctors, Doctor-
Mead and Doctor Woodward, both of
whom were lecturers at the college.
While walking down Bishopsgate
street one morning they quarreled
over some medical question and ad
journed to the square of the college
to fight it out with swords. Woodward
fell, wounded In several places, where-
upon Mead magnanimously said, "Take
thy life." "Anything but your physic,"
hissed back the chagrined Woodward
ere he swooned away —London Chron
