To My Friends
The Gustomers of
L. Sternberg & Co.
Owing to frequent idleness, which was voluntary at the begin
ning, enforced at the end of the year, a very large number of cus
tomers of L. Sternberg & Co. fell in arrears with their payments,
which made it impossible for the company to meet it obligat ions
when due and impelled me to apply for the appointment of a re
ceiver, so that the business might be protected and continued.
This business lias been a boon to many thousands of industrial
workers throughout the State for the last sixteen years, and its ex
istence should be prolonged by the co-operation of all interests.
I make an earnest appeal to all my friends and customers to pay
as promptly and regularly as possible, and thus enable me to get
back my business and continue it. ^ STERN BERG.—Ad v.

OLD TIME SURGEONS.
They Had to Work Rapidly Before
Aiiu'Mthetira Were (Med.
Before amcsthetlos wore known the
surgeon's only expedient was to abridge
his patient’s sufferings by working
rapidly. In this the old time surgeons
did wonders. They had a control and a
surety in their hands that are now sel
dom found. One day the celebrated
surgeon Maisonneure had to amputate
the leg of a poor devil who began to
howl In advance. “I’ll give you my
watch,” said the surgeon, “If the oper
ation lasts more than a minute.” The
man accepted the offer, but was obliged
to forego the handsome watch, as the
operation took less time than it re
quires to describe.
To amputate an arm at the shouldei
Is a most difficult operation. D.. Lan
genbeck of Germany did it in two min
utes. A young physician who came to
see him perform the operation adjusted
his spectacles to his nose so as not to
lose a single movement, hut when the
spectacles were In place the operation
was over, and the severed arm lay on
the floor.
Times have changed much since then.
It suffices to put a bit of chloroform or
ether on a compress and let the patient
breathe through It for a few minutes
to put him Into a slumber so deep that
he remains Inert while the surgeon
makes his incision, cuts, flies the bone
and sews up the flesh. On awaking the
operation is over, and the patient
knows nothing of It. Thanks to chloro
form, surgeons can practice operations
today which arouse our admiration.
What They Bat.
Nearly every nation lias Its own par
ticular form of food, and things which
•ome races would not, as the expres
sion goes, "touch with the tongs" are
considered by others as the greatest
luxury.
For Instance, while the Arab eats bis
lotus bread and dhourra with the relish
of fresh dates, the Greenlander gorges
himself on animal fat and whale oil as
the necessary means of keeping
warmth In hts body. Hindoos will not
touch any form of flesh, but live happi
ly on rice and rancid butter. An Eng
lishman is supposed to value beef nnd
bacon above all other articles of food,
while the dwellers in the Apennines
live on chestnuts. In ancient days the
Roman emperors were accustomed to
have a peacock served at all great
feasts as one of the principal dainties,
while in these days birds’ nests and
rats form choice dishes in a Chinese
menu.
Some people .-ay that snail soup is
delicious, while the French assure yon
that there are few more delicate dishes
than those made out of frogs’ legs.

A man of eighty years died in
New York city the oilier day leav

per the following: "Personal mem

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Topic For tlie Week Brglnnlw Feb.
21—Comment by Rev. S. H. Doyle.
Topic.—Some good ways of using the
Sabbath.—Mark 1, 21-34.
For many generations tlie stress laid
upon the Sabbath lias been from a
negative rather than an affirmative
standpoint. The emphasis has been
placed upon what we should not do
rather than upon what we should do.
And it may be that if more time and
thought had been given to tlie tilings
to be done less would have needed to
be said upon the subject of what we
should not do. Tlie best way to over
come evil is by the substitution of
good. “Cease to do evil, learn to do
well.” says tlie prophet Isa lull, but tlie
best way in all the world to eease to
do evil is to learn to do well. He who
does well will have neither time noi
inclination to do ill. So lie that keeps
the Sabbath day will have no time to
break it. He that tills every hour of
this day with tilings that are permis
sible will have no time to engage in
those tilings that are prohibited by the
laws of God and of man.
What, then, are some good ways of
using the Snbbatli? The incident se
lected for our study is that of Christ
at Capernaum on a certain Sabbatli
day. There He entered into the syna
gogue, taught ami healed a man pos
sessed of tin evil spirit, and in these
events we may learn bow we may
make a good use of tlie Sabbath.
1. On the Sabbath day we should
worship God in the public place of wor
ship. Tlie public worship of God has
always been exacted of His people. It
is not enough to have private devo
tions in tlie home, nor will the admira
tion of God in the works of nature suf
fice; we must not “forsake' tlie assem
bling of ourselves together.” The
soul needs to worship God, and this
public worship would protect us from
many temptations to break tlie Sab
bath. Tlie office or business place
could not be visited, the morning could
not be spent in reading tlie Sunday
newspapers, all day visits could not lie
made to friends, keeping them from
their duties to God. if we regularly
worshiped God in Ilis house on tlie
Sabbath.
2. On the Sabbath day we could be
engaged In teaching. Christ “enter 'd
into the synagogue and taught."
Teachers are needed in the church, in
the home and in various other places
on the Sabbath day. Children in the
homes need to be taught the Bible and
Christian duties. With few exceptions
our Sabbath schools need faithful and
efficient teachers, and outside of these
there are non-Christian homes where
the teaching of the word of God would
be welcomed, and public charitable in
stitutions where the same would be
true. Teaching God's word is a good
work, and many could do it who are
now spending llie Sabbath in idleness.
3. On the Sabbath day we should do
good to others. Christ did good upon
the Sabbath. So may and should we
upon the same day. Many about us
need our sympathy, encouragement
and help. If we would give it os liter
ally as the Master did we would not
want for good uses to make of the Sab
bath day.

“What Christ in n Endeavor Has Done
For Me.”
Rev. B. Q. Denham, vice president of
the New York State union, is pastor of
the Church of Disciples of Christ, New
York city. IDs society recently con
sidered tlie above topic, and some of
the thoughts brought out were so sug
gestive as to he worthy of being given
tliis wide publicity. Here are some of
the points made: “Trained me to testify.
Tied me to my church through my work
in the Christian Endeavor society. Made
me a ‘comrade of the quiet hour1 for Bi
ble study and meditation. Taught me
to search the Bible, whereas I formerly
read it mechanically. Trained my zeal.
Has given me the vision of a cleaner life.
Taught me the right spirit in which to
pray. Taught me to seek, not to read
merely, hut to understand what the Bi
ble says. Has given me some of the
best friends this old world ever saw.
Led me to give my life to the ministry
of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Led me
to keep all the Lord’s day for Cod's
work. Has helped me to a closer com
munion with Cod. Cheers my life.
Has taught me to do the little things
of service. Made me feel the Impor
tance of doing any little good deed.
Causes me to realize the closeness of
Christ. Has taught me how Christ
loves me. Has kept me young In heart
and spirit”
Can any one after reading these
“leaves from lives” question the value
of Christian Endeavor? Is not a move
ment based upon such positive help
fulness of necessity permanent? Chris
tian Endeavor is not “waning.”
Evangelistic Conferences.
A very successful series of confer
ences In the Interest of evangelistic
work has just been held under the
auspices of the New York State union.
The speakers have Included Mr. Wil
liam Phillips Hall, Rev. Dr. John P.
Carson, Rev. F. H. Jacobs, Rev. Dr.
George B. Stewart and State President
Rev. Dr. Edwin Forrest Hallenbeck.
The points touched were Troy, Albany.
Syracuse, Rochester and Lockport. In
Albany the conference was made the
beginning of an evangelistic campaign
of two weeks, led by the local union.
Our Work For Christ.
Sometimes we show a wrong concep
tion of Christian Endeavor by striving
to work up to Christ instead of out
from Him. We need more consecrated
purpose, more holy endeavor. In our
work for Christ.—Rev. Edwin Forrest
Hallenbeck, D. D.

WHAT DIAZ HAS DONE FOR MEXICO
PORFIRIO DIAZ of Mexico is a wonderful man, and for more than a quarter
of a century has given peace, prosperity and progress to a country that !
in the flfty-nlne years preceding his assumption of the reins of government had
llfty-two rulers—dictators, presidents and emperors. Revolution was the j
normal condition; peace was but that strange, portentous calm that presages ;
a new storm. Murder, mutiny and turmoil was the order of the day.
His eventful life with its adventures and lightning changes world make
a writer of dime novels humiliated with envy. Born in 18:50 at Oaxaca, he
was destined by his mother for the priesthood; but in 184 7 forsook church
and cassock for the life of a soldier and prepared a company to join the
Mexican forces against the United States. Juarez, then president, recognized
the mettle of this boy of seventeen and took him into his law office.
But young Diaz had larger ideas; he had keen eyes and a dear head and
began to see vaguely through the fog of troublous conditions the chances for
a man to scale the heights of realization by the pathway of opportunity. He
knew opportunity was on the battlefield so he went there to meet it. Enemies
were pressing in on all sides; he led gallant men in perilous attacks, wresting
town after town from the invaders. Dashing assaults, thrilling escapes,
brilliant victories, brave defeats, became common-place to him. Twice ho
was thrown into prison and twice escaped. Leaving his prison-door he
gathered round him a new army and fought like a Spartan. He swam a
shark-infested river to escape his enemies, was picked up and evaded capture
disguised as a coal-heaver; at Puebla when his cannon balls gave out he tilled
his one field-piece with cobblestones; in the fight at Oaxaca he stood on the
church tower and had the church bells melted into charges for his cannon, •
and faced the rain of shell till his command was reduced to two.
Other men of the time could be forced, placated, plead with, bribed,
silenced in some way,-Diaz—never. Through terrible struggles he reached
the presidency In 1877. Fearless, incorruptible, a man of instant decision,
born to command, he unified the thirty states and territories of Mexico into
a nation with a government as free as our own, gave it free schools, free
ballot, free press, freedom of speech and religion, threaded the country with
railways expanded the postal service, encouraged industry, increased trade,
and with temporizing, diplomacy, cajolery, force—whatever the situation re
quired—gradually transformed a flghMng pit into a great nation.
