Ministers' Wives Told They Needn't Be Saints WESTMINSTER, Md. â€" Minister's wives needn't try to be saints. Dr. Walter G. Monroe told a grroup of them recently, because churchgoers are "not ready for such companion- ship." ^ 'This was one of seven requisites Dr. Monroe, a Washingtcn layman, named in addressing the Ministers' Wives Association of the Maryland annual conference of the Methodist Protestant Church. His subject was "What I Expert of a Minister's Wife." He said he thnufr'it she should: 1. Be a womanly woman. 2. Marry the minister as well as '.he man. 5. Not marry him if she cai 't enter wholeheartedly into his work. 4. Be a leader, but let him lead, and help in an executive way. 6. Be a good homekecper, and have the pevionality of the open l^eart. 6. Be religious and possessed of genuine piety. 7. Be truly human and not a saint, as tlin congregation is not ready for such companionship. Learn to Swim Now In twenty-two days of last July there were ts twenty-two drownings in the Montreal district alone. Throughout the country, during the summer, .bathing fatalities reached a now liiijrli. Most of the victims would have been alive today had they been able to swim! As the warm weather and the ac- companying lure of lake and river ap- proach, think of last season's tragic headlines. See to it that your child is taught to swim. â€" Maclean's Magaiine.

Paul was con- fident that there was no power in a Cliristian message unless that mesT sago centered in the cross of Christ. "But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God." Christ crucified is tho power of God because the gospel ia "the power of God unto salvation" (Rom. 1 : 10). By the work of Christ on the cross, we are delivered from the wrath to come, we have peace with God, we are redeemed from the bond- ago of sin, we are made members of the body of Christ. "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger fhan men. A para- phrase of this verse might read: "The doctrine of tiie cross, though regarded as absurd and powerless, has more of power and wisdom than anything which ever proceeded from men." Sensible Advice Sufferers From Heart Disease Should Not Hurry or Worrv Girl Whose Heart Ceased T o Beat Does Not Know What Death Like British Pli>sician Who Studied Astounding Experience of Mary Davonport Says Anaesthetic Affected Her Brain Cells SHEFFIELD, Eng.â€" British medi- cal circles hem 1 the astounding >tory Mary Davenport's seven-minute in- terlude of "death" in a dental chair, how ihc lost 24 teeth and how she went back to work in a steel factory. "The case poses in question for those who believe the soul leaves the body on the instant of death" remark- ed Dr. Alfred A. Masser of Sheffield. He described the case for the British Medical Journal. "She remembers nothing about her strange experience," the doctor assert- ed. "There were no dreams under the chloroform. Her brain registered no reaction to what death is like, be- cause the brain cells still were under the effect of the anaesthetic during the seven minutes of lifelessnesa." Dr. Masser reported the 20-year- old girl's heart stopped beating short- ly after chloroform had been admin- istered preliminary to having her teeth extracted by a dentist. "The patient went suddenly white, breathing atoppeil and the pupils dilated widely. The pulse and heart sounds could not be detected. "The head was Immediately low- erc<l, artificial respiration started, and strychnine was given hypodermi- cally. "While this was being carried on, I massaged her through the dia- phragm from beneath the costa'. mar- gin. No response of any sort oc- curred, so I decided to try an intra- cardiac injection of 'icoral', plunging a long needle Into the left ventricle about the level of the fourth space, and slowly injected the 'icoral'. "Immediately after this, the mas- sage through the diaphragm was con- tinued, and in about one minute I could see a flaint flicker of pulsation in the external Jugular vein of the neck. "After another 10 minutes of arti- fi.:ial respiration the breathing re- commenced and the pulse at the wrist grndiinlly returned. "Her condition gradually improved so much that I decided to continue the anaesthetic with open ether, and tho dentist proceeded to remove about 24 teeth." The report adddcd the girl made an uneventful recovery. She went back to work two days later. LESSON II.â€" July 12 WITNESSLNG UNDER PERSECUTION Acts 3 : 1^ : 31; I Corinthians 1 : 21-25 GOLDEN TEXT.â€" We must obey God rather than men.« Acts 5 : 29. THE LESSON IN ITS SE'ITING Time. â€" The events recorded in the third and fourth chapters of Acts took place in the summer of A.D. 30. The First Epistle to the Corinthians was written from Ephesus, approxi- mately a quarter of a century later, about A.D. 56. Place. â€" The city of Jerusalem. "And it came pass on the morrow, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem And Annas the high priest wa'i there." While Annas had been deposed in 14 A.D. from this position by the Roman procurator, he was nevertheless lookecl upon as the leader of the Jewish Sadducean aris- tocracy, and enjoyed for nearly half a century the real power of the high priesthood. Christ was brought to Annas first in the unfair trial which he underwent (John 18 : 13, 24). "And Caiaphus." He was the son-in-law of Annas, "equally astute, unscrupulous, and unpatriotic." "And John, ami Alexander.' Of these two men we know nothing. "And as many as were of the kindred of the high priest." This was an official meet- ing of the most important body of men in all Jewry. "And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired. By what power, or in what name, have .ve done this?" The picture of these Galilean apostles standing before the most august body of religious leaders in the world at that time is a picture which tho imagination docs well to dwell upon. "Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them. Ye rulers of the people, and elders. If we this nay are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole." Peter's "opening sentence has a sting of sarcasm in it." He stated tliat they had been charged "not with a crime but with a dec<l of benevo- 8 W.F. lence. The council was at a disad- vantage from the start. A good deed was then, as it is now, the bulwark of the gospel." "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even in him doth this man stand here before you whole." Peter is not frightened by the learn- ing, power, and hatred of the men before whom he faces. He is possessed with facts. "He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner." The quotation is from Psalm 118 : 22, a verse used also by the Lord Jesus (Matt. 21 : 42; Luke 20 : 17), and, many years later, again by the apostle Peter (I Pet. 2 : 7, 8 . "And in none is there salvation: for neither h there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved. "The original question was not one of sal- vation. It was merely a question of healing a lame man, but you never find the apostles confining them- selves to the mere incident. Every miracle is only a text; every sign or token is only a starting-point. "For seeing that in tho wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not CJod." This passage is much like the one which Paul wrote a few years later in the opening chapter of his epistle to the Romans (1 : 19-25). "It was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe." "It is called foolishness (1) because 'those who were perishing thought it so'; (2) it required no high intellectual gift, but simple faith in a crucified and risen Lord." "Seeing that Jews ask for signs." (See Matt. 12 : 38; 16 : 4; John 4 : 48.) The Jews sought for visible proof that Christ was the Messiah. "And Greeks seek after wisdom." "The Greek restlessly felt after some- thing which could dazzle his ingeni- ous, speculative turn, and he passed by anything which failed to satisfy his intellectual curiosity (Acts 17 : 18, 21. 23)." "But we preach Christ crucified. Mr. A. W. Cutten's death from the' heart disease draws attention to ft timely article In the Canadian Public Health Jounal from Dr. John A. Oil-'* le, assistant professor of medicine, ot the University of Toronto, writes the Toronto .Mail and Empire. Having re- viewed statistics on the subject he says that really there is nothing very alarming in the increasing death rate from heart and vascular dlsea.se, be- cause iu Ontario iu 1933 over 55 per' cent ot these cardiac deaths have oc- curred over 70 years of age, and over' 75 per cent ot them over 60 years ofj ago. The percentages that occur overi 60 and 70 are steadily increasing. Five years ago 7?. per cent occurred over. 60 and 50 per cent over 70. During thi last fifty years there has been sur-' prisingly little difference iu the total numbers of deaths per year. These deaths have declined approximately) 10 per cent. What has happened has! merely been that the various causes, have switched and that the average, span ot life has greatly lengthened. To sufferers from this disease Dr. Wile offers sensible advice. Arterial hypertension, commonly called high blood pressure is a progressive, incur- able disease ot unknown origin, al- ways tending to end fatally In from; one to two or twenty or thirty years.? It Is highly important in treating the, cases of hypertension to do nothing' harmful. "In spite of much teaching.' to tho contrary, it Is extremely com-) mon for doctors to cut meat or pro-' telu or salt out ot the diet ot such pa-' tlents, and the majority ot the laity- believe implicitly that blood pressur«j can be controlled by diet. The other, harmful niensme which is commonly! iMdo use ot is unfavourable suggest-J Ion. Those patients are warned unnec- essarily against exercise, and they' are iu constant dread ot strokes, audi heart failure etc. It is important to make all remarks to such patients as encouraging and rea.ssuring as pos-' sible. and by education and sedatives' to try to reduce their appreheuslou' and psychomotor activity. If they are afraid of a stroke, tell them that th«' chances are five to six to one that they will not have a stroke." Many things are blamed for vas* cular diseases but most ot them ar« beyond our control. Dr. Oille e,ay« that at least we can have removed eui focal infections, wo can try to avoK fatigue and mental strain, by bfln( satisfied with the ordinary things o life, curbing our ambitions In th< struggle of life, and getting nine oij ten hours' sleep at ni.iiht. Wo shoul^ cultivate an equanimity of life and go about our work without hurry,^ woiry and mental tension and learn to say, "Well, wh:it does It matter after a!l?" We should exercise the blootl vessels of limbs as well as the ones in our heads and lenrn to be still and relax mentally as well at physically. Yes, take it easy, don't worry â€" It is good advice even tor I hose who aro not afflicted with heart disease.
