No one, .however, who is possessed of
any vital powers finds himself hospi-
table to the thought of giving up the
business of living. Death Is undesire
able, not only because It Is leaving our
homes and friends but becauaa it means
being cut off from our activities, our
part In tho busy world.
Even though life means little mere
than toil and the buffeting of fortunes

ft is the arduous joy of living we aro

found ankh pleasure in contemplating
a heaven of rest; that is the thing we
do not want,

One does nod have to wait for

death of the body for suck !ulhjess of
living to cease. Many are dead who
still breathe and seem to be full of busi-

life has been paralyze, because greed
and lust have blunted the sensitive fac-
ulties and have 'stolen the power to
feel and know the things that to others

REMOVED LOBE OF LUNG.
Very Delicate Operation by a German
Surgeon.
Professor W. Koerte, M. D., has re-
ported to the Berlin Medical Society
the results of his surgical operations
00. the pangs, sl.Yhg that, like other
medical man, he had long hesitated' be•
tore daringto take risks with so deli-
cate an organ.
He experimented at the City Hospital,
principally on cases of suppuration and
gangrene of the lungs. Of twenty
eight such cases, when the lungs were
opened end surgically treated, twenty
WOW cured.
The professor also operated on the
lungs of fifteen patients suffering from
bronchial ulcers. In these cases the re -
suits were far from encouraging, only
four .persons 'surviving.
The .professor warns medical men
against surgical operations for ulcers if
more than one lobe is affected.
The lecturer demonstrated how this
rare operation is effected by removing
several ribs beforehand in order to al-
low tho surgeon room for working. In
several cases the professor removed a
whole lobo of the affected lungs, there•
by saving the sufferer's life.
An eight-year-old boy was introduced
to the medical audience and subjected
In X-rays. The X-rays showed the cav-
ity from which .the missing ribs hall
been taken and exhibited the lungs op,.
erated on, showing the action of the
knife. An X-rays picture of the lungs
before the operation completed he de-
monstarton. .
Noted surgeons, Drs. Gluck, Lenhartz,
Karewskt and others, reported similar
results of lung surgery. Professor
Krause, M. D., lntroduoed a former pa-
tient of his whose right lung was re-
moved by Krause nine years ago. The
man is In good health.
WORSE.
"After all," said the sentimental
youth, 'love is a lottery."
"I don't know about that,' answered
the cynic. "You have some chance In
a lottery."

company of Jaws, Including, doubtless,
some of the disciples, in connection

similar way to a larger multitude of
people in connection with and subse-
quent to the feeding of the Ave thou-

wrought on the Sabbath day, and this

the Jewish authorities of breaking the
law of 'Moses, 'which In its essence was
no other Than the law of God; and this
