hidden and unrevealed which the
needs of mankind demand. Some one
has said everything is running at
high pressure. 1t would seem too
much so, for high pressure may not,
and many times does not, conduce to
the finding of that truth in Gods do
main that helps man.
1T is the steady going, thoughtful,
persistent specialist and plodder that
is blessing mankind as he gets from
what seemed to be oblivion, light and
illumines u pathway. He gets the
whole truth and makes the age new
and exceptional, while the high pres
sure nan gets but half truth and
leaves us in mystery and doubt. High
pressure is on the side Of demand for
truth, and in this sense only is con
ducive to the finding Of the truth. The
world in all of its ramifications and in
all its problems needs only the truth
to bring it right.
1T is evermore the question of the
inspired one, 20, that l knew where l
might find Him"
AS we find Him, we find his truth;
as we find His truth we bless mankind
and as we bless mankind we remove
burdens sorrows, difficulties, disease
and drought, and install in their place
JOY, happiness, love, peace health and
life in individuals, families, races and
nations. Thus we make the age new eX-
ceptional because truth is at work.
Of the so-called learend professions
seeking to bless mankind and make
the age new and exceptional but one
is beyond that of the physician and
that one is the minister.
On sober thought as to the OPP
portunity of the physician, one is
tempted to place him in Importance
equal to the minister. But with us
all 1t is the use of the opportunity
that makes teh importance of u pro-
fesslon rather than the profession
. itself.
, in that sense I dare say there are
many physicians a thousand-fold more
valuable to humanity than a similar
number of ministers and vice versa.
Humanity is interested in the physi-
clan to-day as never before. The
i struggle is on between the material
and the spiritual. Men are after dol
S lars without regard to the health of
S themselves or their fellows. The
e insistence that we be spiritual which
f is to be God-fearing, simple and tenn
e perate ourselves, and thus seek the
:, same for others, and to do unto Others
o as we would others do unto us, has
e not the weight it should have, so that
d we may have a safe check upon our
n selves in the mad rush for things ma,
r terial.
For material gain we segregate
e others. shutting out sunshine and air
drainage and natural sanitation, yea
the rights of others to liberty, health
and happiness never enters into oul
It thought when the question Of income
p~re-occupies, because the spiritual /:
g lacking to make us see we are oul
v brothers keeper. We disobey an(
e we pay for it in disease of body anC
e mind, hence the physician becomes
man sent of God, if he knows Cod
e truth in the world that is an Offset tt
mans error once committed.
e 'In proportion as the physician
d knows the truth, he is a Progressive
In the last heated campaign some
IS one asked, What is a Progressive?'
and the answer was "a progressive IL
.e one who says he is" The physician
does not have to say he is for hi
discoveries make him so.
