"He that tumeth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination" (Prov. xxviii., 9; Zech. vii., ll; Pea. lxvi., 18; Prov. xv., 8). To be so cruel, mean, proud, worldly, selfish, eovetous and impehitent that the lord will not look in mercy upon us ‘when we pray, "so that even the very highest occasions of religious worship are abused, and made an offense unto God," this is surely a. dreadful experi- ence.

Of course, we take all reasonable precau- tions, but no extraordinary ones. The "Eight years ago I ran a boys' camp on Lake \Vinnipesnukee. A girl of eigh- teen came to the camp suffering from consumption. She had been given up by her doctors, who said she might as well die at the lake as anywhere, and told her to have as good n time as possible during the three months allotted to her. She took no medicines, but in eight weeks gained fourteen pounds. Later she spent a year under a doetor's care. but made no perceptible gain. She is living with us here now. and hs made good progress each summer. If I had known howrto treat consumption and had got this case earlier in its progress, I could have cured her entirely. "The expense of this sort of life need not be great. There are plenty of hill- tops round about Boston within reach by a five cent ride, where ground can be rented as low as $10 for the season. That is what I pay here. My living tent is 15 by 30. the canvas cost $25 and the flooring $15. The canvas for the octa- gon shaped kitchen tent cost $10 and the floor $10 more. I made the tents myself on an ordinary sewing machine. They stand me £60. all told, you Bee. They last me tour years, Taking the annual cost for tents $12. To this must be added $25 for the expense of moving in and out. so the net annual cost ot the camp is $47, a very small bill for any tuberculoeis expert treatment.

Water is piped to within fifty feet and a trapped sink drain leads to a cess- pool. No house wife in the cottages whose roofs can be seen all around on the lower slopes of the hill has been half so com- fortable this summer, cooking in a hot kitchen, as the tent dweller on the crest.

"Four years ago my second wife de- veloped tuberculosis. She lived four months in the State sanitorium at Rut- land. Since then she and all of us have lived in tents from the first of May to the first of November each year. My twin youngsters have never spent a sum- mer indoors.
