EMPLOYS PRIMITIVE METHOD
Physician At Climax Discards Seientific Instruments and Resorts to Fingers :
Albert Mack Jr., 10-months-old is alive today only because Dr. Joseph Larkin of Casualty hospital Washington abandoned surgical instruments for more natural means in a desperate effort to get an open safety pin out of the child’s throat. The baby was close to death when his mother rushed into the hospital with him and Dr. Larkin immediately attempted to dislodge the pin with his instruments. This failed and the young ilife was ebbing rapidly. Dropping his instruments the surgeon inserted a finge o ‘the baby’s throat until he could feel the pin, Pressing with his other hond from the outside he worked the pin point into his own flesh and drew it out just as the fbaby ceased breathing. Quick frespiration treatment restored him and he was able to go home with his mother. 4
Marian Davies at Crystal this week
Prof. B. B. Johnson at U. B. Church. A splendid audience was on hand last- evening at the U. B. church to hear. B. B. Johnson of Chicago speak on the subject ‘“Why do Not Young People Go to Church” In the first place the speaker asked why go to church then answered his question by saying the church stands for and conserves things that are worth while, - He gave as the two chief reasonsg why young people did not go to church as being first because of. the great class of adults who do not attend church many of them business men and leaders in the community unto whom the youth look and imitate’ ‘but said 'the speaker these adults do not play fair for they would not settle and expect to do business in a community that had no churches. - The greatest tragedy that can befall a boy or girl is to be born and Ib'rought up in the home of non-church ‘going parents. i The apparent need of Christian (Superintendents and teachers in the gP-wb;lic Schools was also stressed not ‘that the Bible should be taught in the public schools but that a Christian Character might be seen by the students in their teachers. ' - 'The Second reason or rather fault Mr. Johnson laid at door of the church itself saying that the church fails to include in its program the young people most of those who serve the church in an official capacity are past 30 years of age. % Young people want a job something to do, a job that will challenge them in doing the heroic. ¢ Young people want somebody to be with and Young people want to be with young people. ‘ Mr. Johnson’s addres swas valuable because he not only told us of the need in the church but told us how to meet it. g ;
