HUXLEY HE DID NOT KNOW!
LTOGETHER the languages
and dialects in which the
Bible, either in whole or in sub
stantial part, is in the hands of
the people number
about five hundred,
with a billion pos
sible readers.
How difficult this
rendering of the
Scriptures into
strange tongues has
been may be illus
trated by some of
the odd printings
in our language.
We have the
"breeches" Bible, in
are thus translated; the "treacle"
Bible in which "Is there no balm
in Gilead?" is translated "is there
no treacle, (or molasses) in Gil
ead?"; the "bug" Bible, with an
infelicitous rendering of "creeping
things," and the 'Vicked" Bible,
with the important word "not"
omitted from the seventh com
mandment. If, with the finest
scholarship and the utmost care,
such infelicities have occurred in
our own tongue, imagine the ob
stacles to a dear understanding of
the gospel message in heathen
tribes.
The man who invented the term
"agnostic" was Thomas H. Huxley,
the scientist. He did not deny, he
merely did not profess to know.
As in the early Christian centuries
there were certain sects that pro
fessed knowledge and called them
selves "Gnostics," he, admitting ig
norance, called himself an "Agnos
tic." He was a member of the
London school board, and the ques
tion was raised concerning the use
of the Bible in the schools. It was
generally supposed that he would
oppose it. In sThe Contemporary
Review for December, 1871, he said:
I have always been strongly
MANAGEMENT OF FEVERS
Probably four-fifths of our hu
man ailments exhibit at one time or
another a rising temperature above
the normal. It is called "fever."
"The elevation may vary from a
barely detectable increase to a rag
ing flame that menaces life itself.
There are certain principles here
that most of us should know.
To attempt to demolish every
fever the moment we encounter it
must never be attempted. We have
remedies for reducing temperature,
but they must be used with the ut
most care' and watchfulness. The
fever may be kept within safe lim
its, but just that, while the CAUSE
of the disturbance is being eradi
cated. Take the case of measles, scarlet
fever, small-pox, or any other self
limited disease. To rush the tem
perature to normal at my first visit
would be utterly stupid and maybe
cost a life! These eruptive dis
eases must have fever, if they are
to pursue a safe course to re
covery. They are "self-limited"
diseases that run a definite course.
They must be managed and nursed
to recovery.
The protracted fevers, pneumonia,
typhoid, and the like, have a tem
perature which is-an index to the
amount of infection. To attempt
to maintain anything like a normal
temperature from drugs may bring
about a weakened heart-muscle
from which the victim cannot rally.
To keep the temperature within
SAFE limits is the art of the good
physician and nurse.
Too many drugs lower tempera
ture at the expense of the heart.
How careful we must be! To lay
low oh the acetanelide or the aco
nite the heart must be saved at
all hazards. Bathing reduces tem
perature without harm to the vital
organs in the protracted struggle.
A good "fever-doctor" is worth his
weight in gold.

in favor 'of secular education,
in the sense of education with
out theology, but I must con
fess I have been no less se
riously perplexed to know by
what practical measures the
religious feeling, which is the
essential b.asis of conduct, was
to be kept up in the present
utterly chaotic state of opinion
on these matters without the
use of the Bible.
Take the Bible as a whole,
make the severest deductions
which fair criticism can dictate
for shortcomings and positive
errors, as a sensible lay teacher
would do if left to himself, all
that is not desirable for chil
dren to occupy themselves with,
and there still remains in this
old literature a vast residuum
of moral beauty and grandeur.
And then consider the great
historical fact, that for three
centuries this book has been
woven into the life of all that
is best and noblest in English
history; that it has become the
national epic of Britain, and is
familiar to noble and simple
from John o' Groat's House to
Land's End, as Dante and Tas
so were once to the Italians ;
that it is written in the noblest
and purest English, and abounds
in exquisite beauties of a mere
ly literary form.
By the study of what other
book could! children be so much
humanized, and made to feel
that each figure in that vast
historical procession fills, like
themselves, but a momentary
space in the interval between
two eternities, and earns the
blessings or the curses of all
times, according to its efforts
to do good and hate evil, even
as they also are earning their
payment for their work ?
