DIR. KELLY SAYS BIBLE
PROPHESIED RADIUM
Surgeon, Expert in Its Use, Quotes
w., 2, As Divine Promise.
ALL SCIENCE FORErOLD.
Cancer He Calls Product Of I'M
morality, and Faith Must Aid

THE union of the religious and the
scientific mind-ths man who uses
and makes discoveries in science and
yet believes in the Bible, word for
word, who says that the parallels in
the Bible have foretold all that science
has and will learn and who believes
that the kingdom age will be the per-
lection of science and religion was
found this week in DR.. Howard A.
Kelly, surge IN and cancer specialist,
who has accomplished so much by the
use of radium.
In a talk on "Radium and Relig-
ion before the Bible Teachers Train
ing School in the afternoon of Thurs
day, January 8, in New York, he as
serted that the Old Testament refers
to rsdium and its curative powers,
and he outlined the spiritual signif-
canoe of the new metal. Giving
science background OF religion, he
told of the virtues of radium in the
treatment of some, not all, cases of
cancer.
He warned the public to beware of
fake radium tubes; he discussed the
causes of cancer as being probably
due to immortality using the word in
the broad sense as referring to wolf
tions of the physical as well as spiri-
tual laws. In setting out to connect
scientific facts with the Bible. Dr.
Kelly asserted he believed Sin the
Bible and every word in it," but at
the same time he was aware that
his attitude did not meet with the
approval of the great majority of
scientists
In the light of theraphy in the
last fifteen years, he said, we
who are Christians have found in
the Bible many things that suggest
remarkable prophecies. For in
stance, Malachai, chapter I, verse
2, Unto you that fear my name
shall the Sun of Righteousness arise
with healing in his wings. T" DIR.
Kelley referred to that verse as in
dicating radium and its power. He
aided that God deals with Us in
parallels.
The doctor quoted other parts of
the Scriptures to show connection
between God and nature, between
thought and the material world, to
support his theory that in the Bible
are scientific facts which the spiri-
tual may discover and which exceed
even what already has been learned
by scientists. he called the Bible
heavenly dictionary with which to in
terpret science. Elm the kingdom
age" he said, scientific knowledge
will be looked at as the cradle If our
knowledge. We will realize that
mind is behind all these things and
that there is one relationship between
God and these things"
The speaker referred next TO the
world as a place that had been pre-
pared by God for man. He called
the earth the storeho Use of Gods
mind. ''God is to be found, he
said, mot so much in law as in the
grace and loneliness of nature. God
gave all these things TO nature, not
for animals and lower beings, but
for man; for man to discover and to
utilize.
He referred TO radium as one OF
the things that God had slowed in
the earth, just az diamonds and
other precious stones, for the use
of man.
The doctor described the substance
and the three diff ere MT kinds of rays
that il gave off. "These rays, be
said, tear through everything, even
atoms. He then explained how
radium had DESTROYED the atomic
theory which scientists had unfolded
so exactly. "Radium, - he said,
''has shown that an atom, whic b
scientists said was the smallest light
in the world and was individible,
was made up of many thousand little
particles; that within an atom there
are solar systems so, 10 speak, and if
on these PARTICLES there are living be-
ings, they grow up and become old in
the millionth part Of a second. =
