When the campaign was over It occur d to Mr Ridley that It had ended too soon, and he began laying plans for its revival, but Gov.

It has been said. In discountenance of this, that there is no provable case of disease resulting from the common cup; but this as an argument Is absolutely useless. No sane person will contend that, because we can not see disease germs floating through the air, that they may - not be present. Certainly, whoever looks over the personnel of any church, especially in some Of. the less cultivated localities, can scarcely refrain from a shudder at the thought of the possible Inoculation from some of the. Individuals who regularly present themselves at the communion rail. A quarter of a century ago there lived In a western community a man who had cancer on his lower lip. Several members of the church to which he belonged declined to take communion with him, strictly on sanitary grounds. There was s great deal of discussion on the subject, a good deal of hard feeling, some uncharitableness, and a firm belief in the minds of many that the objections Were entirely unchristian and unworthy of the faith which they professed. Nevertheless they declined, and In the light of present-da- y investigations, . were certainly Justified In so doing. Among - Clara Louise Kellogg.
