Faith Is necessary in the affairs of this
life as well as those Of future state.
Faith has done much to advance the
cause OF progress and human advance

faith in his doctor, made the discovery
that il was the capsule and not the con-
tents which cured him. One day the
doctor had the capsules with him but

doctor erred in his order and wrote for
it to be used internally instead Of exter-
nally. Faith of this kind has been the
father of many important discoveries.
