Ministers' Wives Told They Needn't Be Saints WESTMINSTER, Md. — Minister's wives needn't try to be saints, Dr. Walter G. Monroe told a group of them recently, because churchgoers are "not ready for such corrtpanion- ship." This was one of seven requisites Dr. Monroe, a Washington layman, named in addressing the Ministers' Wives Association of the Maryland annual conference of the Methodist Protestant Church. Ilis subject was "What ''T Expert of a Minister's Wife." He said he thought she should:,r •. 1. Be a womanly woman, 2. Marry the minister as well as the ratan. 3. Not marry him if she cart enter wholeheartedly into -his work. 4. Be a leader, but let him lead, and help in an executive way. 5. Be a good homekeeper, and have the personality of the ,open heart. 6. Be religious and 'possessed of genuine piety. 7. Be truly human and not a saint,. as the congregation`. is not ready for such companionship, Lecrl'n to Swim Now In twenty-two,; days of last July there were is twenty-two drownings in the Montreal district alone.

L. k e British Physician Who Studied Astounding,: Experience of Mary Davonport Says Anaesthetic Affected Her Brain Cells ' SHEFFIELD, Eng.—British medi- cal circles heard the astounding .tory Mary Davenport's seven -minute in- terlude of "death" in a dental chair, how she 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 lifelessness." 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 stopped and the pupils dilated widely. The pulse and heart sounds could not be detected. "The head was immediately low- ered, 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 anti'' finial respiration the breathing re- commenced and the pulse at the wrist gradually returned. "Her condition gradually improved so much that I decided to continue the anaesthetic with open ether, and the dentist proceeded to remove about 24 teeth." The report addded the girl made an uneventful recovery. She went back to work two days later.

UNDAY CHOOLESSON1 LESSON II. July 12 WITNESSING UNDER PERSECUTION Acts 3 : 1-4 : 31; I Corinthians 1 : 21-25 GOLDEN TEXT.—We must obey God rather than men. Acts 5 : 29. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The events recorded in the third and fourth chapters of Acts took place in the sununer 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.—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 was there." While Annas had been deposed in 14 A.D. from this Position by the Roman procurator, he was nevertheless looked upon as the leader of the Jewish Sadducean .avis- tocracy, anal 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, and 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 ye done this?" The picture of these Galilean apostles standing before the most august bpdy of religious leaders in the world at that time is a picture which the imagination does well to dwell upon. "Then 'Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto then, Ye rulers of the people, and elders. If we this day are examined concerning a gooddeed 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 that they had been charged "not with a crime, but with a deed of benevo- 3 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 is there ally 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 the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God." 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, unto ;rows z .stumblingbioc}i, and nate Gentiles foolishness." Paul was cone fident that there was to power in a Christian message unless that mes- sage 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 crucifies] is the power of God because the gospel is "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- age of sin, we aro made members of the body of Christ. "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. A para-', phraseof this verse might read:' "The doctrine of the cross, though regarded. as absurd and 'powerless, has more Of power and wisdom than anything which ever proceeded from men." SesibIe Mvi Sufferers From Heart Disease Should Not Hurry or Worry Mr. A. W. Cutten's death front the' heart disease draws attention to a' timely article in the Canadian, Public' Health Jounal from Dr. John A. Oii le, assistant professor of medicine, of 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 disease, be. cause in Ontario in 1933 over 55 per' cent of these cardiac deaths have oc- curred aver 70 years of age, and over? 75 per cent of them over 60 years of) age. The percentages that occur over` 60 and 70 are steadily increasing. Five) years ago 73 per cent occurred over. 60 and 50 per cent over 70. During the.) last fifty years there has been sur prisingly little difference in 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 of life has greatly lengthened. To sufferers from this disease Dr. Lille offers sensible advice. Arterial hypertension, commonly called high blood pressure is a progressive, incur- able disease of 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 the contrary, it is extremely con-} mon for doctors to cut meat or prol tein or salt out of the diet of such pa- tients, and the majority of the laity believe implicitly that blood pressure) can be controlled by diet. The other. harmful measure which is commonly, tache use of is unfavourable suggest-} ion. These patients are warned unnec-> essarily against exercise, and they: are in constant dread of strokes, anal heart failure etc. It is important to make all remarks to such patients adl encouraging and reassuring as post sable, and by education and sedatives) to try `to reduce their apprehension' and psychomotor activity. If they are afraid of a stroke, tell them that the chances are five to six to one that they will not have a stroke." Many things are blamed for vas. eular diseases but most of them arq beyond our control. Dr. Oille say that at least we can have removed ou focal infections, we can try to avoi i fatigue and mental strain, by bean satisfied with the ordinary things o life, curbing our ambitions in th struggle of life, and getting nine a ten hours' sleep at night. We shoul cultivate an equanimity of life an go about our work without hurry, worry and mental tension and learn to say, "Wel], what does it matter; after all?" We should exercise the blood vessels of limbs as well as the ones in our ,heads and learn to be still and relax mentally as well at; physically. Yes, take it easy, don't worry — i1 is good advice even for those who are not afflicted with heart disease.
