Therefore when we aeek to free ourselves of tiia ^burden of responalbUtty In any Motion, we suit be peculiarly on guard, that we do not allow, ourselves to become enanared In the tolls of those, artificial jlSsUnettOM and. plaus ible explanations, which when slip ped of their verbal dresK appear in their nakedness as contemptible sub terfuges. / One of these convenient ideas which serve as a kind of natural anaesthetic to conscience is the belief that any responsibility which is divided is thereby lessened. The director of s corporation may content himself with the comforting thought that where -many are jointly responsible, his share 6t the common obligation after all cannot be regarded as very se rious. And it Is in this ides that s very fundamental error lies. For. re sponsibility Is by Its nature some thing intensive and not extensive. It can be divided among many,, but it is not thereby diminished In degree. ? Prof. John Orier Hlbben. In the April Scrlbner, ? EASTER DANCE.

Dr. Aked says: am profoundly thankful to know that Ue National Association for the Study and' Pre rentlon of Tuberculosis Is planning >n a great scale a 'National Tubercu osis Sunday.' I shall be glad to oo >perate to the limit of my ability ?nd >pportunity. In the old days a doc ors" diagnosis, 'Consumption.' was *egsrded as a sentence of death, and he prevalence of tuberculosis was bought of In the light of some mys erlous 'visitation of God.' Today re know that tuberculosis is curable, ind, what promises even more tpr he human race, that It Is preventa >le. And the Church of the Living Sod. with the memory of Him whom re love to call 'the Good Physician.' >f whom It Is recorded that *He went i bout doing good* and that 'He heaJ fd many that wtte^lck of divers dls tases,' sbeuld be la the van of those rho love their fellpws, seeking to irevent preventable Ills. The world ? cured by Ignorance and darkness, t Is to be blessed by knowledge and Ight. Tuberculosis Is born of lg larance; It flourishes In the dark ies. And If the light of 4he knowl idge of the glory of God shines from he* fsce of Jesus Christ Into the Church. It must stream again from he Church Into dark homes and Into lark lives and the dark places of the ?lty where physical and moral evils ibdund. docfal problems are aplrlt isl at heart. We worship God by lervlng m^n. And I wish you every tuccess In your effort to enlist the en huslastlc and consecrated service of he Christian Church." Dr. Fllpk, after expressing his keen ntcrest In the movement, and his de ilre to be of >11 possible assistance, jays: "No body of met has ti+tter rantage ground for good work in the} :rusade against tuberculosis than the clergymen, . Tbey are In close to*?ch, with the people who need' eSlsogWon ind what tbey say will be accepted as !rom authority. Such a cause as the stamping out of a plague must ap >eal to them" as U exemplifies the luintessence of religion. Every clergy man In the land should become a learher of the doctrine of health and ireventlng medicine. He should, moreover, as a leader of men become a living actlv# force In the world movement for Stamping out consump tion." Reports thus far received at the National headquarters In New York Indicate that on April 24 more peo ple will hear the gospel of health and right living than have ever befora^ relved such a message.
