THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. JUNE I, 1892-TWELYE PAGES.

FORETOLD BYTHE PROPHETS

THE UNITED STATES PREDICTED BV EZEKIEL. Haw th Iter. Mr. Pitta Eleetrln.d f Wllln- ' gatshod Andiene Ferty Yr Ago by Applylaa; ih fraphaolaa Kalling to NtUoi to the Io. ted Stat. In 1S57, while a resident of Washington City, I heard a discourse delivered in the old house of representatives in which the speaker proved, at least to his own satisfaction, that the United States was predicted by the prophets. At that time the chaplain of the house preached in the hall every Sunday and the eervices were attended by senators and representatives and also many government officials. On the occasion referred to the chaplain gave way to the Rev. Mr. Fitts.who had an audience of distinguished men. The discourse ereated a profound sensation in the capital of the nation and was extensively noticed by the press of the city and country. Since the Rev. Dr. Jenckes delivered his . sermons on prophecy the public has been discussing tha subject, and may be interested in knowing bow the Rv. Mr. Pitts interpreted them .in reference to the United States. If it can be shown by a reasonable interpretation of prophecy that this rovernment was predicted some 2,000 yera before it was "born in a day," the faith of every citizen in its perpetuity will be strengthened. At any rate the investigation of the prophecies, with the view of discovering if they refer to the United Ftates, will not be a work of the devil. Even learned and eloquent doctors of divinity who are wont to discourse on current topics may find the investigation most profitable. . I was so impressed with the plausibility of so many of Mr. Pitt's interpretations that I afterward procured a copy of bis discourse. The staid National Intelligencer bad a full report, and this of itself is evidence that the claim made by the rever- ' end gentleman received marked consideration. I can only epitomize come of the arguments and proofs ued by him. He- commenced by saying that the prophecies relating to the nations down to the fall of Jerusalem were but a literal history of yria, Edom, Moab, Egypt and Juden. After the destruction of Jerusalem to a certain period called "the time of the end," a vail was on the prophets and no interpretation of the sublime visions during the interdicted age could be correct, for God had announced to Daniel that "the words were closed up, and the vision was sealed till the time of the end. He maintained that this was not to be the end of the world, for in the time of the end "many should run to and fro, and knowledge be increased." That "the time of the end" an age of great intellectual energy ft powerful nationality would arie. The rise of the United States synchronizes With that "time." He then stated what ho claimed a3 an Infallible rule to determine symbolic time. He applied this rule to the interpretation of the seventy weeks of Daniel and the 1,200 symbolic days. The former ended at the burning of the temple on the lsyth day of the year, A. D., b. The l.i0 days commence at the time of tha offering of the sacrifice at sunrise the day the temple was burned, which occurred at 5:0.'$ o'clock a. m., Jerusalem time, and ended at 2:45 o'clock, Philadelphia time, on the 4th of July, 177o. This was the hour when the declaration of independence was proclaimed. This exposition appeared to many as mere BDeculation ami few, if any, received it as conclusive, but nevertheless it created a profound sensation in the audience. The Iiev. Mr. Pitts' most conclusive and remarkable interpretations were of those passages which predict the rise of a great nationality in latter times. These could cot apply to a nationality in the land of Judea, as is claimed by many commentators. They are descriptive of the United States and no other country, as he proceeded to show. 1. The nationality was! to be located between two seas. This prophecy is found in Ezek. xlvii, IS-20. Judea is not bounded on the east by a sea. 2. The nationality was to be in a land "that has always been waste." Ezek. xxxviii. Judea has not always been waste, but this country was, until its settlement by Europeans, and this answers the description. 3. That wonderful country was to be inhabited bj a people "Vathered out of the cations." Erek. xxxviii. .Not of one nation collected together that had been scattered, but composed of people of different nations. Other passages were quoted to sustain this proposition. 4. In the promised nationality, nnlike ancient Israel, foreinern were to be allowed to dwell and enjoy homes with the citizens of the country. Ezek. xvii, 22 and 23. 5. The principle of extension should ipecially characterize the prosperity of the promised rationality and he quoted Isaiah xliv, 1S-20; and also the twelfth verse of eame chapter, which be claimed referred to emigration from China. This passage could not refer to Palestine for the Chinese could not come from the torth wee t to it. 6. This is the land of nnwalled villages. The land described in Ezekiel xxxviii, 8, 11 and 12, cannot be Judea, for all her cities were walled. It is the United States that is portrayed. 7. The infancy of that country Ehould receive the attention of royal patronage. "Kings shall be thy nursing fathers and queens thy nursing mothers." The names of several of the old states and of the old countries perpetuate the memory of royalty and the fulfillment of this prophecy. 8. A country of broad rivers and streams. Isaiah xxxiii, 21. The river Jordan and the brook Kedron do not answer to this grand description. 9. The land is described to be literally more elevate 1 than aoy portion of the world. "I will go up to the land of unwalled Tillages." Lieut. Maury was given as authority that the United States is the highest part of the earth. 10. The peaceful character of the inhabitants. Isa., , 11. The rapid advancement of intelligence. "Many shall run to and fro and knowledge be increased." 12. The country inhabited by the people "gathered out ot the nations" should be ettled in thirteen distinct states. "Ye shall inherit the lands according to the twelve tribes of Israel ; Joseph shall have two portions." Ezek. xlvii, 13. William Penn held the charter of Pennsylvania lor twenty years before he obtain sd that of Delaware and then we had thirteen. Other prophecies were quoted to prove his claim that the United States is the promised nationality. The most striking and convincing was from Jeramiah xxx : 21, that the nationality was to be a republic "Their nobles shall be of themselves and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them." It will certainly do no harm to discuss these prophecies or even speculate upon them. A revival ot the interest in prophecy is not an inspiration of the devil. Speculation as to the future may be vain, tut many good and wise men before Dr. Jenrkes have indulged in it. Sensational

preachers on current topics might find it profitable to occasionally present proofs ! Christianity deduced from the fulfillment of prophecy. They will not want for hearers. They might even utilize the passages quoted by Mr. Pitts and construct a first-class Fourth of July sermon. Lewis Jordan.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The Scope of the System Its Advantages and Disadvantages. To the Editor Sir: In a late number of the .Irma I find the Rev. Minot J. Savage giving utterance to what eeems to be a kind and timely warning in the matter of our present public school system. lie says: "Oar publio school system is betweeu two fires. On tha one hand shall I not say it plainly? are its fool-friends; on the other its no-fool enemies. I mean nothing personal by these epithets. I only wish strongly to set forth the situation, i'or friends are sometimes the worst enemies. A well-meaning stupidity may do more harm than an outright attack. Thee are strong lines, and some no doubt will contend and honestly believe they are unjust. Let us 6ee. If I understand the purpose of the public school aright it is to make good citizens. Now what constitutes a good citizen? Is it not to be able intelligently to use the privilege of the franchise, to gain an honest competence fcr himself and family by atudioua application to noine pursuit; in fact, to lead a life of industry, guided by a moderation and good common sense, thus preserving the dignity of his manhood independent of all false props and chimerical, fantastic schemes ior the advancement as a class into the pretentiously hither walks of life? Max O'Keil uttered morecf a truth than some think, when he said: "Every one on ttys side the water was either a colonel or a judge." Is it not absurd to assume that it adds any to the worth and dignity of an upright, honest, plain American citizen to parade him about under false colors, dubbing him judge, colonel, and even in some cases within the writer's knowledge, general, though the person thus designated never smelt powder. Yes, a good American citizen is what we want our public schools to bring forth men an women lit to cope with the trials and duties of life in the sphere wherein the greater number by far must undoubtedly pass their davs. And if they would learn anything from history, in the happiest sphere open to the human race, being neither rich and thug tempted in a thousand ways to pin, nor either poor, which condition holds only a little more such inducement. Is this what our present system of public schools is doing? Alas! no. We find sensible parents murmuring that their children are being taught that that will prove an utter waste of time and tend rather to spoil what may have been a benefit by absorbing the time and attention of their children's application to etudy, with instruction in knowledge of things no possible chance in their coming years will render of any service to them. The accomplishments can never be of great value but to a very few, and many a good mechanic has been 6poiIed by trying to make an impresario; many a cood housekeeper by attempting to produce a cantatrice or elocutionist; many a heart must ache, many a poor eoul eutfer deep mortification from no other cause than our present process of leading mediocre boys and girls to look to life as a path, when they phall be finished and shine their little shine on an opera-house stage, through which they are to walk with ease, receiving the plaudits of the multitude for their excellence in eome higher branch of learning. What I want to know is whence shall come tho applauding, plodding multitude if every body's child is to be taught music, pcinting and the languages? Another very common complaint by those for whom the public school is more especially instituted, is that their children are made to attempt to learn so much more than they can grasp, that they lose ail in the over-brain work necessary. This cramming process never benefited any scholar. Any student of mature years knows too well the value of knowing how to stow away knowledge and utiliize it when most needed, and this hurrying and skurrying over a vast field of varied subjects, many of which the child has no natural aptitude or tapte for, is in my mind one form of cruelty undreamed of by the parents and teachers of many a burdened child. "What we want from our public echools is any education in the common branches of learning that a boy may, when he leaves school, enter any of the ordinary walks of life and maintain himself decently, and if needs be, his sister likewise. If either of them are endowed with special talents, in our country, nothing can keep them from rising; if they have none, they will be much happier, and, consequently, much better citizens, with the plainer, more practical education.

All the dear departed kindred And the friends once dear to me, Are among the thronz of faciei That my fancy seems to see. Memory sees a rursl picture In a frame of rustic gold. And I lire again, in fancy, Those delightful days of old. 'Tis the dear old family homestead Where my childhood days were spent. There life knew no shade of sorrow, Naught but peace and sweet content. All those scenes which home environed Hare in them for me a charm. And I lore to linger musing Of the homestead on the farm. My old father stands before ma. With dear mother on his arm, And their peaceful, patient fac-s Lend the picture such a charm Tbat I faia would keep it always. In my mind as fresh and bright, As depleted by the embers la the dim and flickering light. Life knows no dearer momenta.

NOT GOOD FOR SICK FOLKS.

SUCCESSORS OF SAIRY GAMP HIGHER UP IN THE SOCIAL SCALE. Bat They Know flow to Do Little fer the) Siek st tut a Oreat Deal for Themselves Several Instances of Keflaed Cruelty Free, tleed In the Siek Boom. In his character of Sairy Gamv Dickens has shown the professional nurse in her most repulsive form. Imagine the horror, when sick, of being waited upon by a murse like Sairy, whom he thus deecribes: "be was a fat old woman, thia Mrs. Gamp, with a husky voice and a moist eye, which she had a remarkablo power of turning up and only showing the white of it. Having very little neck, it cost her some trouble to look over herself, if one may pay eo, at those to whom ehe talked. She wore a rusty black gown, rather tha worse for snuff, and a shawl and bonnet to correspond. s The face of Mrs. Gamp the nose in particular was somewhat red and ewoollen, and it was difficult to enjoy her society without becoming conscious of a smell of spirits." Sairy's long training in the sick-room had made her indifferent to pain. Her night watch in the eick-room consisted of eating a cucumber supper, with frequent drinks out of the bottle, after which ehe administered the patient's medicine by clutching his windpipe to make him ttasp and immediately pouring it down hifl throat. Then, taking the patient's piilow from under his head, she proceeded to make herself comfortable ior the night. Meanwhile the sick man tossed and tumbled on his weary bed in delirium. Sairy gave him many ordera to "hold his noise" and then went olf into a drunken eleep. The modern professional nurse is a much better looking object than Sairy. he is required while on duty to wear a plain dress of blue and white seersucker, a white apron and cap and linen collar and culls. She is required to take entire charge of the sick-room, and must be careful not to iucrease the expenses of the family in any way. Sne is earnestly charged to hold sacred the knowledge which comes to her ears of the private affairs ot the household in which she may serve. Another of the accomplishments required of the professional nurse, is the knowing how to prepare, cook and serve dishes for the sick. The professional nurse is invaluable to the eurgeon. Her knowledge and skill cannot bis replaced by that of an unskilled person ; but in cases of ordinary fevers and like diseases ehe is eaid to be of far less actual service than members of the family. One gieat complaint urged against the modern nurse is that she is unable to enter a strange houso and perform her duties unaided, but that she demands constant waiting upon. From the moment her neat figure appears upon the scene until she takes her departure she issues orders at the rate of three a minute bo that frequently an entire neighborhood is kept busy running errands for her. One of these jewels, imported from Chicago, was eut to attend a nick woman living upon the South Side. The nurte was) a stranger in the city, but ehe had been told thf.t the South Side rested under a social ban, and she waa exceedingly indignant at being sent there. She arrived in the morning about 10 o'clock and found a neighbor lady in charge, whom the husband of the patient had asked to help. She did not look in the least like a servant, but the nurse did not stop to coneider thia. "Come," she said, "don't stand around here idle, get to work at something." Some one was sent for to go out and obtain bed wrappers for the patient, those Bhe had not being considered the proper sort by the nurse. The lady who volunteered to do the ehoüping was given very explicit directions. "But," she remonstrated, "I cannot obtrin anything like that here. Can't you make some old wrappers do?" "Well. I declare." paid the nurse. "What kind of a place is this anyway? Why, in Chicago I never have a bit of trouble getting anything I want. I have a notion to send to Chicago for them. I was told that I would have a hard time if I came on the South Side." This nurse was in the habit of appearing in the kitchen at odd hours and between meals, when the work was done, and ordering a cud of fresh coffee and a light lunch so that one person was required to wait upon her. The condition of the patient it is said baa a great influence upon the modern Sairy (janip, in the matter of securing efficient aid. When a patient is certain to recover, ehe is ehown much loving care in order that the nurse's services may be secured again, but when the patient cannot live the nurse is more negligent since her usefulness will end at the death of the patient. Kecentiy a nurse was called to a family in particularly ead circumstances. The mother was seriously ill with a three-weeka-old child, and the older child w as taken ill with diphtheria and died. The night of the removal of tiie child's remains th-e nurse was left to comfort the heart-broken mother, who was denied the privilege of t-eeing her chill, and this is the way she did it: "You oughtn't to complain," ehe said; "if you only had my trouble you miht mourn. I loved a man and just did everything for him and he went off and married another woman. If you had suffered as I have you might talk." And in this manner she ran on to the weary invalid. The nurse hated her profession and was very careful to inform her patients ot this fact. She also told them that she hated to get ud and wait on people and that she could not bear to be awakened at night. Her neglect came near making her patient seriously ill, and the exasperated husband told her to leave. Another instance is known of a nurso being called to a woman who was seriously id, and who had no relatives in the city. This nurse found things in an annoyiüg condition, for the patient was taken down suddenly with a fever and there was an ignorant girl in the kitchen. Some of the sick woman's gowns bad buttons missing here and there as a result of having one's laundry work done by professionals, but while the nurse was required to take entire charge of the sick room, doing everything in it, ehe pinned the gowns on the sick woman and suffered no pricks of conscience, though her patient was scratched by the pins. This nurse was an inveterate sleeper. She lay down immediately after dinner for a two hours' nap, and 'slept all night, so sound that one might have died and the would have been none the wiser. Food became distasteful to the invalid, and nothing would tempt her appetite ; vet the nursenever once wentinto the kitchen to prepare any of the dainties for the sick which was supposed to be a part of her duties. It soon become necessary to call in a second nurse to assist No. 1, until a relation came from a distant state and saved the woman's life. The general complaint against professional nurses ie that their duties are performed mechanically and they do not lighten the life of the invalid by any little acts of kindness, nor do they take hold of things and relieve the family. The expense of keeping a nurse averages $15 a week. One lady relates how she paid the nurse $3.50 a day for her services, $2.50 a dajr for board at tha

hotel, and all the tervice the nurse rendered in return, was to embroider four clover leaves in a tray cloth. She was told that her eervices were no longer needed, but refused to go until the doctor told her to. Many stories are told of nurses who slam doors, talk in harsh, ugly tones and refuse to help convalescing patients. In a neighboring city a man nurse was found drunk iit bed the niüht of the crisis in his patient's illness. The sisters are considered the best nurses since they follow the work from love of it to a matter of dollars and cents.

MISTAKES OF THE DOCTORS. Druggists Whose Lives Are Made Miserable Always to Blame.

There Is perhaps no profession the practice of which is attended with more perplexing difficulties than that of the pharmacist. There is no class of men working for the benefit of those about them in this busy, bustling world, who are so perpetually sweating on the gridiron of anxious doubt as the compounding druggist. In every state in the Union if a doctor trakes a mistake and his patient dies the combined power of courts and juries is rarelf sufficient to encompass his punishment and he goes on practicing as though nothing had happened. If a druggist accidentally introduces poison into a remedy in compounding a prescription instead of a harmless ingredient, and death ensues, in every one of the states except six, the chances are that he will be compelled to don the stripped livery of the state behind prison bars, for ail that is necessary to procure his punishment is the posseseien of a ivortion of the poisonous potion andtheidentiücation of the establishment where it was compounded. When I'rof. Joseph P. Kemington of Philadelphia addressed the physicians and pharmacists at Plymouth church Thursday evening last he offored his audience an hour of enjoyment which was of practical benefit. Probably Boine idea of the truth of this stat-iment may be had from the expression of an old and successful medical practitioner of this citv, who at the conclusion of I'rof. Remington's lecture heaved a deep sigh and eaid: "Well, I've practiced medicine for twentyfive years, but I never until tonight appreciated what a criminally careless lot of fellows we doctors can make of ourselves." Among other errors of of doctors which tend to unsettle the reason of druggists, Prof. Keminstou referred to the prescription, properly written, which the drupgist carefully compounds and which, as Boon as the prescribed ingredients are united in the bottle, gelatinizes and refuses to even "drop a little bit." The druggist has performed his duty faithfully and does not understand what causes the trouble, when, as a matter of fact the doctor has been wanting in a knowledge of the chemical relationship of the ingredients. Prof. Kemington also called the attention of the doctors present to the importance of improving their penmanship and not carrying the principles of abbreviation to a ridiculous extreme. As an illustration he displayed a facsimile of a prescription written by Dr. Penrose, probably one of the mopt noted specialists in the East. The doctor rushed :nto Prof. Pieminzton'a etoro one morning, scratched olF 'omethinsr on a scrap of paper and ordered it compounded and sent immediately to the address given, and then rushed out. It was as follows: 'Til 8. Q. H. 1 Et 3 h. l'tnr." After hunting all over Philadelphia the busy doctor was found and deciphered the prescription bo that it read: "Pills on sulphur, quinine and hydrastis. Take one every three hours. Penrose." Another physician, well known in New York iCty, wrote a proscription that involved, as one of the ingredients "Aqu;e bullientis." The young druirgist who received it was puzzled. He did not find the remedy in the dispensary, so he eimply sent his boy around to & neighboring drug store with a dollar and au order for "one pint of aqua bullientis." When tha boy returned he had left the dollar and had the package wrapped in hia jacket. The a.ju;e bullientis simply proved to be boiling water, and the physician, if he had so written it in the first place, would have saved a well-meaning, conscientious young pharmacist much" worry, SI in money and the mortification "resulting from being laughed at. Auother leading but heedless physician wrote a prescription and appended the directions: ''Take a teaspoonful every hour if not able to sleep in water." ""It is quite likelr," said Prof. Remington, "tnat if the patient took any of the medicine he took it all." As an instance of grosslv ridiculous abbreviation, a prescription from one of the most successful practitioners if Harrisburgonoe read: ''Syr. Khain Cat." The doctor simply meant to write syrup of rahmni catharticas, a very harmless laxative. From a prominent physician of Philadelphia, a member of the faculty of the university of Pennsylvania, Prof. Kemington uniformly received model prescriptions, with the single exception that tney uniformly wound up with the abominable direction, "take as dir." After having one of these prescriptions compounded on one occasion a young lady brought the medicine back "to the etore and asked Prof. Remington how she was to take it. "I don't know," replied the professor, "go back to the doctor ; he will tell you." "But I have forgotten the directions," she said, "and if I go back to him I will have to pay him $2 again." Prof. Remington theu referred to the necessity of the druggie, never being "absolutely certain that he was correct," and as an instance, spoke of one in Pittsburg, who had put cyanide of potassium, a malignant poison, in a chlorate of potassium bottle and forgotten it and then put up a prescription, involving chlorate of potash, for an infant and used the poion, causing the almost immediate death of the little one. The druggist persisted he had made no mistake when taken to task and to prove it took a swallow from what he thought was the chlorate of potash bottle. In fifteen minutes he waa a corpse, having died in coavulsious. The Lady Physician. I wss li aod in a fever, So they called the doctor In, But I didn't like the doctor Or the drugs he used to giro. It waa by some strange muhappenlng, Some mistake or foolish juke, While I waited for the doctor Thataladr glided in.

When she pressed her little fingers On my rsDld-beatlng pulse, It arnt a thrill of pleasure To my Tery finger tips. Oh, she was ministering an frei As she sootht d my aching head. And the pain waa soon forgotten When I heard her gentle voice. 8he came to s-e me often But the fever burned within. Till shs said, "I'll never hsvs you Till we meet at heaven's gate."
