Bible for ov i
each year, a higher death -rate than
that of tuberculosis.
The term pneumonia means in-
flammation of the lungs, and it is
used to include several forms of the
disease which have one thing in com-
mon, congestion and solidification of
one part of the lung.`
The onset of pneumonia is sudden,
a sudden chill, lasting from fifteen to
thirty minutes or more, 'then fever,
difficulty in breathing, and a dry
cough, with pain in the chest which
may be severe. The .doctor should .be
called without delay, when such
symptoms occur.
Tlie disease occurs as the result of
the activity of a germ. It appears
that the germ is wide -spread, 'arid.
that the chances of its, causing dis-
ease are tremendously increased, if,
for one reason or another, the gen-
eral fitness of the body has been
lowered.
Pneumonia ismore prevalent in the
cities than in the country. This may
be due to the over -crowding and to
the lower standards of living which
are found in the city, and these mean
greater chance of spread for the
germ and a lowering of physical fit-
ness. Pneumonia reaches its height
during the winter, and so it is as-
sociated in our minds,; with cold.
Cold, in itself, does not cause the dis-
ease, but 'exposure to cold, and other
hardships favour the occurrence of
. pneumonia.
Children who have been weakened
by disease not infrequently fall vic-
tims to pneumonia. Measles and
whooping cough are serious diseases
for many reasons, one of which
the frequency, with which they are
followed by a fatal pnetuitonia.

the germs of pneumonia.
The prevention of pneumonia be-
gins with keeping the body.. in good
physical condition. The:. need for
Proper .diet, fresh air_ and exercise
continues the year round: The body
should not be chilled by exposure to
cold. 'Damp clothing and wet feet
should be avoided. Over -heated
rooms 'cause excessive perspiration;
the clothing then becomes clamp and
the body is chilled. when the individ-
ual goes out of doors. The regula-
tion of the heat of rooms and the
avoidance of over -clothing are real
health measures.
Colds should be' avoided, but if
'they occur, they should not be ne-
glected. The neglected cold has an
:unfortunate way of spreading down
into the lungs and causing pneu-
monia. Persons who are suffering
from coughs and colds should he av-
oided. If, notwithstanding precaut-
ions, a cold does occur, it is better
to spend one day in bed than to run
the risk cif developing pneumonia.

The woman saith unto hiin, Sir,
thou hast nothing to draw with, and
the well is deep. The well was then
snore' than one hundred feet deep; it
is now about seventy-five feet deep,,
Whence then hast 'thein that living
water?, "'Zt'is itrit strafij e' that this
w,ontan took Jesus' liteially when he
spoke, in exalted and suggestive met-
aphors, for it is the fate which he
has been meeting at melt'shands
froth then till now, She Supposed
him to be speaking of that well where
they sat, or of some other of which
she knew not; but as a description
of what Christ had i,n mind, can you
think of any expression,. in all the
world more true and apt. "The well
at

unintended tribute to ,the depth and
inexhaustibleness of. Jesus."
Art thou greater than our father
Jacob The Samaritans claimed to
be descended from Joseph, Jacob's
famous son; ` Who gave us :the well,.
and 'drank thereof himself, 'and' his
sons, and his cattle? "That is, great
er in pow*er, so that, without draw
ing it from the well, thou canst fur-
nish `living water,'.—perhaps by mir-
acle, -as Moses did from the rock,"
Jesus answered and said unto her.
Note how persistently Christ disre-
gards her foolish literalismand ab-
surd questions, and holds her firmly
to the spiritual truth He seeks to
teach her, In this He is an example
for all Christian teachers. The Chris-
tian life is a life which has within
it the source and renewal of its
freshness and vigor and power.
CONVICTION OF SIN.
The woman saith unto him, Sir,
give me this water, that I thirst not,
neither come all to way hither :.to
draw. "All the way hither is a half -
humorous hint of the woman's weari-
ness; but "her request has certainly
a serious side. This is proved by her
ver•sation of Jesus with the despised
Samaritan woman, a conversation
breaking over all bounds of formal
religion, and leaping forth into the
liberty of the children of God. Whet)
the true worshippers "Shall worsltila
the Father in spirit and truth.." "Hdw,
broad this sentence is intellectually!
How it interprets the comprehensive-
ntss as well as the tenderness of the
Christian faith! How it swells as the
fitting dome over the foundations
and walls of the Old Testament!"
For such doth the. Father seek to be.
his worshippers. This name of God,
which we teach children to lisp in
earliest years, came to her, it may
be, now for the first time. The
yearning of the human spirit is that
of a child seeking the Author of his
being, The seeking is not human on-
ly.
God is a spirit; and they that wor-
ship him must worship in spirit and
truth. "God is a Spirit' but our text
does not say He is an unclothed spir-
it, it does not deny, His separate be- •=.'"""'
ing, and it does notassert a number
of powers and affections but no per-
sonality." .
The woman saith unto hind, I
know that -Messiah cometh (he that
is called Christ). The Samaritans, al-
though they accepted only the Pen-
tateuch, based their expectation of
the 1vIessiah on such passages as
Dem. 18: 15-20.

LIVING WATER.
For Jews have no dealings with
Samaritans. The world to -day is full:
of these Jew -Samaritan feuds. They

conscience. "The force that was in.

al quarrels. Jesus answereii and said tiplied tenfoldby the sorrowful,
unto her. If thou knewest the 'gift of compassionate, soul -piercing look
which, he would doubtless give her."
The woman answered and said un-
to hint, I have 'no husband, These
words were an honest and truthful
confession, sa far as they went.
Whether the woman wished it to be
supposed that slie was .a widow, it
would perhaps be hardly fair to en-
quire. Very likely her 'dress showed
that she was not. • Jesus saith unto
her, Thou saidst well, I have no hus-
band. Our Lord sets us a good sx-
ample in going as far in commenda-
tion as he can.
For thou has had five' husbands;.
and lie whom thou now hast is not
thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
Probably Grotius is right, in think-
ing that the woman herself had -de

God. Christ's -reply is directed at the
woman's proud and stubborn heart.
TO A be 'sure, he had asked a favor, but
in reality "he is not the receiver, but
Thou the giver. `errest in thinking
that it is I who need:thy help, when
thou rather hast need of mine.' "'And
who is it that saith to thee, Give me
to drink. "What roused the compan-
ion of ,Jesus for this woman was' her
ignorance: .`Ahl woman,' if you only
]drew the gift of God; if you only
knew who was speaking to - you!' "
Thou wouldest have given.thee living
Water._ Tis:cure for sin is to give
something that gives far greater sat-
isfaction.. The living water signifies
the Spirit, of God given to all them
who believe."

The woman is driven to that con-

knowledge of her life.
Our fathers worshipped in this

Jerusalem is the place where men
ought to worship. "God had chosen

SPIRIT AND TRUTH.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, be-
lieve me, This is the only place
where Jesus uses this phrase to in-
troduce a statement with especial
•ea.rncstness, instead of "Verily, ver-
ily, I say unto you." ;Thehour corn-
eth, when neither in this mountain,
nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship
the Father. The temple on Mt. Ger-
izim-was in ruins and that in:Jeru-
salem , would soon ' be destroyed by
the Homans.
Ye worship that which ye know
not, The Samaritans had cut them -
'selves off from God's progressive re-
velation of himself ift Israel, and
therefore their worship was of an un-
known somewhat.. We worship that
which we know; for salvation is from
the Jews. God's training of the Jews
in ways, of holiness, as traced in the
Bible, is the most marvellous course
of bis providence in all, history.
