Cancer in Animals.
lar Science Monthly

From the Popular Science Monthly
In no field o. medical science has the
modern experimental method given great
err results In a few brief years, and offer
ed greater promise for the future than IN
the study of that fatal and obscure dis
ease cancer Owing to the brilliant initi-
alive of Jensen in Denmark and Leo
Loeb in this country, it has been shown
that a form of cancer occurs in certain
lower animals. particularly in rats and
MICE that can be artifically transmitted
from one animal to another of the same
species. This fact has afforded a means
of studying in detail the method by which
a. malignant tumOr grows in the body,
and more particularly has thrown, light
growth which may occur naturally in GER
tain individuals, and which may even be
artifically produced. Scattered over the
world are small groups of individuals.
more particularly in England, in Germany
and in America, who are devoting their
entire energies to the solution of this
problem. From several divergent sources
have come published results of expert
ments which offer the greatest promise
that we may soon learn a method of cur
ing these tumors. Already Ehrlich and
Wassermann have shown the possibility
of preparing specific cellular poisons for
cancer analogous to those used I'm curing
protozoan diseases. The final clew which
will unravel the mystery of this complex
disease would not appear to be as yet
fully in hand. and yet | think no one OF
those most conversant with the problem
would be surprised to find tomorrow that
it has been discovered and that cancer
was durable.

Bible Lilies Were Windfowers.
ON. Ave Maria.

From. Ave Maria.
It is a common belief even among well
informed people that the word lilly as
used in the sacred text means a real lily
in the modern sense Of the word. This.
however, is not the case. No real lily
grows, or ever grew, within the eonfines
Of the Holy Land The white lily Qilium
candidum) which is often mistaken for
the plant of Scripture, is not native of
Palestine. nor can it be made to grow
there even in cultivation without great
care.
It is commonly conceded that the plant
our Blessed Savior saw about Him dur
ing the sermon on the mount was the
same plant which in early spring Is stlli
found in great abundance in the valleys
of that cOuntry-namely. the ientai
WindfloWer (Anemone corOnarf Inc
tint of it's blossoms is from blood red to
crimson, and it is called windflower not
as commonly supposed, because the slen-
Ider-stemmed blossoms sway in the breeze,
but because the hairy seeds of some spe-
cies are carried and propagated by the
wind.
The fact that Christ used the word
lily when a windf1ower, or anemone,
was meant need not surprise us, for the
word was used the people OF his DAY
used it. And all the ancient peoples. even
the Greeks, employed the word lilium or
lirion. or krinon when referring to any
plant with a cuplike flower. Even today,
when scientists speak Of common plants.
they mention water lilies Lilies OF the
valley ETC., although they know run
well that these plants are not real lilies,
nor even closely related to them

lyhy NOT discuss the subject?

Why not discuss the subject?
1t is the most fundamental idea IN
every human beings mind. Your concep-
ton of what God is. or whether He exists
at all or not, has probably more TO do
with YOUR life than any other notion.
And yet, by a strange perversity. civiliz-
ed people seem to have agreed not to
talk about God.
1t is good taste to speak of wind and
water. events and accidents, and you may
even mention the Evil One, but not our
Creator. Why?
Because the matter is too sacred?
4 very good reason. provided we dc
not make it so sacred, and bury it SO
deep. that we forget it entirely.
Perhaps there are some readers whose
idea. of God is not sealed and settled
and who would like few hints.
Them l will tell who ind what God is.
He is the idea that lies underneath all
other ideas.
All your aspirations mount upward; the
point where they meet is God
Only the soul that does not feel that

Hence God is at the bottom of all or

word to express his exuberance-and
sell papers all the time. ! travelled

was on his way to the West London

A 25-Cent Church Member.
rom the Church Valley News


Some one reported church member
as saying, somewhat gladly: Il have
been a church member for thirty years
and IL has cost me a quarter" Certainly
this is cheap enough. In the same class
is the old brother who delighted in the
ia milar hymn. I'm Glad Salvation s
Free" Certainly such Christians as
these. if. indeed. they arc Christians ex-
cept i'm name, cannot complain of the
cost of their church membership. And
yet it may be that they are paying for
what they get. and getting value received
for their money. Most people who have
any just claim to responsibility are will
ing always to pay good prices for d bar
gain. and these twenty-fve-cent church
members are perhaps paying about a
proper amount for what they are get
ting. They are paying little or moth
ing and getting the same. True. religion

measured by the yardstick or the survey

measured by the yardstick or the survey
of chain. 1t is limtless and immeas-
urable by all human standards. but
still it is true that the man who gives lit
tie gives evidence almost unmistakable
that he is getting but little. and equally
true it is that as rule the churchman
of the largest sacrifices and gifts and
widest benevolence gives equally unmis-
taxable evidence that he is getting much
in return.
Freely and literally receiving means
freely and literally in giving. And so
the twenty -five-cent fellow should be
borne with kindly. He is doing all he
can. His religion is worth very little to
him. 1t is the blood-out-of-a- turnip mat
ter. The minister who tries to get money
from these twentyfi ve-cent people is like
unto man trying to get water from a
dry we'll Something must be pumped in
before anything can be pumped out. and
when these twenty-five-cent fellows get
to heaven, if they ever do. it will be the
same there. T"eir investment being very
small. their share i'm the glory. that
awaits must be correspondingly meager.
