From the Detroit Free Press we make the following extract from a debate on a medical bill recently up before the Michigan legislature:—
"Colvin said: 'Let anybody practice medicine. I'm willing to take my chances of being killed by catnip.'
"E. W. Moore offered an amendment calculated to protect nurses and faith curists. Dr. Edgar opposed this. He said: 'We cannot pass a bill that will stop the practice of Christian Scientists and faith curists, if they follow it as a religious belief. And all the powers of hell and earth can't stop them. But they ought to know the human system, and if they do not I should prevent them from using the title of M. D.'
"Moore, in defending his amendment, said: 'Under this bill the miracles performed by our Savior would be considered illegal.' "
Hope not the cure of sin till Self is dead;
Forget it in Love's service, and the debt
Thou canst not pay the angels shall forget;
Heaven's gate is shut to him who comes alone;
Save thou a soul, and it shall save thy own!
