A TRAGIC occurrence marred the conclusion of an eloquent sermon preached in the Cathedral of Nantes recently.. According to Dalziel's Paris correspondent, the preacher delivered a discourse on death, and spoke with especial emphasis on the dangers of sudden death. He warned his heaters to be always ready to die, and drew a vivid word-picture of the horrors attending sudden death when the victim was unprepared. Raising his hands in the attitude
of benediction, he exclaimed, "Let us all give our prayers that the next person who is called away may be prepared to meet his "Maker." The congregation, bowing their heads in prayer, heard the dull sound of a fall, and look- ing up, saw the pulpit was empty. At the font of the steps leading to it, lay the body of the preacher, who had collapsed from heart disease, and fallen dead while imploring the prayers of the congregation for the next victim to sudden death.

Sir, I am sure you will admit that all the plague cases take place among the Chinese ofthe poorer class, ani let us say for instance a case happens to a child of a coolie who is earning 40 cents a day, what do you expect to find in his house, but filthy furniture and rotten clothings, and the man has to support a family, he goes and, reports the case to the police, the result is they go to his house burn his furniture and his clothes, and the man with his family has to find another house, but from where will be got the money to supply himself for the approaching winter? I suppose the answer will be that he must work, but could you expect a man to maintain a family with 40 cents a day and be
with that amount? No."
able to get new furniture and clothes as well
From these you will see that the poorer plague cases; probably in time the whole family classes think they do very well by hiding might die from the same disease and yet they' prefer death than losing what is to them their wealth. +
With regard to 'cremation 1 don't think it will stop this Dumping affair, because as a rule the Chinese do respect the dead, and as we find in this instance they throw the dead in the streets, it only shows that they don't care
about those dead, let them be thrown in the sea, cremated, or do with them as you please.
Now Sir, what I propose is this. That, the community foreign as will as Chinese should start a fund, the interest or the Capital to be in the hands of strong and well represented committee. Ifa Chinaman comes forward and reports a case of a plague and if it was found that
bis furniture and clothings should be burned,
let his case have a fair chance, he must eilber have money for what he has lost or let him have the same quantity of furniture and cloth ings. I am sure and almost certain this' is only cure for the plague among the poorer classes of the Chinese.
