ant Episcopal church, commends the

his cure to a sermon preached on tu-
berculosis."
DIR. Lawrence f. Flick, of Phiiadcl-
phia the widely known Philadelphia,
expert on tuberculosis, says: THE
work of stamping out tuberculosis is
in such perfect harmony with the
spirit of religion that it is but natural
to ask the ministers OF religion to CO.
operate by giving the use Of their
church organizations for the educa-
tional part Of the campaign. Not un-

conception OF what tuberculosis means
and of what is necessary for its ex-
termination will it be possible to in
augurate all the measures for proven
ton which science has demonstrated
as practicable and feasible. Knowl-
edge must come before action is pos
sible and there is no agency on earth
through which knowledge can be so
,qHickly and so efficiently extended to ,
all the people as through the church.
