If there are disease germe in your body, keep them to yourself. In any Tase, you cannot get rid of them by :passing them to someone else, All yon do in that case is to spread the disease to which the germs give rise. Everyone should know that most -ef the , communicable diseases are spread lay the transference of germ - laden saliva from thesick to the well, Tiii eetrieeenst oulya;of :the: carr nroty xoinniunic`able diseases, such a. mea - les, whooping. cough, diptheria and •scarlet fever; but aim of tuberculosis. just soon as this..knowledge .is..put : into practice,, and. care:, taken ;, at alI- times, there'.; is found a definite de -- -crease in the number of cases of'com- genunicable diseases. No one would think for a moment of purposely endangering the life of child, but that is done 'every day .may those individuals, who, either tltru ignorance or carelessness, spread '"their saliva around, We never know . -when disease germs may be in our saliva, for such germs -are often pre- sent even when we are apparently well. Itis only by taking cane at all slimes that we will be sure of being .careful when there is need for us to be so. The person who spits is a real men- -ace. Spitting is simply a bad habit, ASSOCIATE SECRET RmeelES fur which there is no excuse, Never spit unless you need to, and then use your handkerchief. In the material which you expectorate, there .ttiay be trillions of disease germs. This state- ment is not an exaggeration for the persons suffering from tuberculosis does pass out in his sputum millions of the germs of tuberculosis in a day. That is why the case of tuberculo- sis is always taught how to take care of and destroy his sputum. There are many' people who, unknown to them- selves, have tuberculosis, and who are passing out the germs each time -they spit. It is they who are chiefly res- ponsible for spreadingr., tuberculosis,. because they have no idea that they have the . disease and.. so do not take any •.care. Tuberculosis :is, 'as everyone knows; a very, serious and: `frequently fatal' disease.. It- is: spread chiefly by care- less spitters; by those- who do not play the game. Let it be understood that if spitting were, to stop and if every person'. were to take are that his saliva was not being passed on to other people, we would be well on the way to seeing themselves disap- pear. 'To spit is to endanger the lives of others. The careless spitter is a pub- lic menace; he spreads disease. and exposes those around him to sickness and death, Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. • .THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON VL—FEBRUARY 8 Jesus, the World's: Teacher.- Luke 6 Golden Text:—As ye would that „Olken should do to you, do ye also to *heist likewise.—Luke 6:31.

"But" Sets off what Christ is going to say. ..ever. against what He has just said, siauiely, that the right kind of Chris - 'Van life is very likely to have its ,en- emies, so that a Christian should be -ashamed when all men, wicked as well :as righteous, speak well of him. Loe your enemies. Foes are to be expect d, .but love them.. Do good to them that hate you. Your love must be not fly a feeling; but a deed; it must -rove itself by active beneficence. Bless thein that curse you. When eee- others pour curses upon us, we must say all .tlie good things about them we can find to say. Pray for them that despitefully use you. Our enem- ies may not let us do good to them;1 they may keep at a distance froth us ,and not let us get near them. Not even then does Jesus give us license to 'hate them or even . to cease • our active love: we must follow thein with our prayers. To him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other. The Greek shows that "the blow intended is not a mere slap, but a heavy•blow; an act of violence : rather than con- tempt." And from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also. The Christian is to strip him- self bare for his enemy; he is to shame him by giving him all that he has. Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh 'away thy goods ask them not again. Who would work, if his gains were to be at the mercy of every idle beggar, or impudent robber? But the spirit of + Christ's words calls us to universal benevolence, to sacrificial giving. It must be wise giving, but entire giv- ing, God does not give us whatever we ask for; He often gives us more by postponing or withholding than He would by .compliance; but He al- ways gives Himself, which is the su- preme gift. His giving is our exam- ple, WINGHAM ADVANCE -TIMES And as ye would that then ehoula do to you, do ye also to thein like- wise. We are to do to others not what they foolishly and to their hurt want us to do, and not whatewe tnis- takenly or wickedly want men to do to us, but what wisdom and love de - araeAn, d if ye love theta that love you, what thank have ye? Weymouth's translation is, "What credit is it to you?" For even sinners love those that love them. We are known by our fruits, Christ said; and in the fruits " of our Christianity do not dif- fer from the fruits of worldliness and sin, how can we expect wordlings and sinners' to honor our Christianity or even to respect it? And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye? for even sinners do the same, We make calls on those who have called on us or who will doubtless return our call, Our greetings on the street are in response to the gneetings of. friends. That is all well, of course, but the . Christian standard must be' much higher. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to, ree ivte,...what thank have ye? even sinners lend to sinners, to receive again as much. Much that we would . not : give . wecould_ helpfully mend, and lending, such. things as pic- tures, , ictures,. flowering plants,. and.. books— lending thetas with no. expectation; or a return I`oan=isrpart of the. gracious., business which. Christians will be car- rying on. But love you enemies, and do them good. Christ repeats, for the sake of. emphasis, as all good teachers will, And lend, never despairingly, Do good as those who consider nothing as lost. And your reward shall be, great, and ye shall be sons of the Most Nigh. That is the reward, and, only a Christian can understand how great it is, making us brothers of the Lord Jesus Christ. For He is kind toward the unthankful" and evil. In Matt. 5:45 is the exquisite addition, which seems especially poetical in W. W. Smith's Scottish 'version: He gars his sun to glint alike on the ill and on the, gude; and sends oot his rain baith on the -just and the unjust," Be ye. merciful, even as your Fa- ther is merciful. The Christian's love will be very deep as well as very wide deep enough to bury, all the sins and faults and offences of his neighbor. And judge not; and ye shall not be judged; and condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned. We are not forbidden to form opinions of others, for this is necessary in order to deal wisely with. thetas. What is forbidden is cenorious- judgment, picking flaws, seeking out the bad in men in prefer- ence to refer-lence.to the good, what has been call- ed from Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress "muck -racking." Release, and ye shall be released. To release is to forgive a debt, free a prisoner, pardon an of- fender. As we are ready to do such things, then will be quick' to do them to us. Give, and it shall be given unto you good measure, "'pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall. they give into' your bosom.

"A fanner once •told his pastor that out of his few acres of ground, he always set aside, one acre to the Lord's use. The pastor asked, Which acre do you set aside?" The question carne unexpectedly, but the farrier was honest enough to • tell the truth, and replied, "When it is a dry season, I select one up there," point-. ing to a field on the hillside; 'and when it is a wet season, I choose one down there;" pointing to a field of very low land which lay at the foot of the hill, This is a trate picture of thousands of professed Christians who give to God's service that part of their time and means that is left, af- ter satisfying their own personal selfish ends," Measuring thus to God, what tneasure of blessing can we ex- pect from Him? BLIND GUIDES. And He spake also a parable unto them. A condensed parable, a com- parison, a teaching from a happening in real life. Can the blind guide the blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?
