HEALTH AND SCIENCE.

Science is classified knowledge; the
word is derived from the Latin word,
scio, to know. On account Of much
misapprehension real science is not re-
garded in some circles; the false is
mistaken for the true; ignorance is
mistaken for knowledge.
In ancient times the doctor Of Di-
vinity performed not only the very ex-
acting duties Of the man Of God but
he, being the only cultured or educated
man Of his section or bailiwick, per-
formed all other duties requiring lit
erary ability or classified knowledge.
He was the judge of all differences;
he was practically judge and jury. He
was the doctor of Law and the doctor
Of Medicine. English history informs
Ne that the druids, the priests or preach
erS Of their time, were doctors Of Med
icine as well as doctors of Divinity.
Classified knowledge became so volu-
ninous that no one person could be ex-
peeted to master the various sciences
The centuries brought more knowledge,
more responsibilities and more zealons-
ness on the part Of conscientious lit
erary men to know, accurately, the va
rions subdivisions of the arts and sci
enees. It was evident that the doctor
Of Divinity was overburdened with al
lied sciences; it was plainly understood
that the great department of Theology
was sufficient to occupy all the time
that any person possessed and true
classification Of knowledge or scientific
classification began. The field or Sec
ton or subdivision Of Medicine was
found to be sufficient to occupy all the
time that any person could give. And
all the other departments Of Science
were found to be Of 50 great scope OF
magnitude that mankind now has the
preacher, the lawyer, the musician, the
literary man (the writer), the editor,
the physician, the dentist, and many
others, too numerous to mention at this
time.
Even the subdivisions mentioned
above are further subdivided; the va
rious sciences are so labyrinthine in
their ramihcations that no person is
capable Of being master Of even q
branch or subdivision Of a subdivision.
We cannot do the work of our fellow
SojouTners too well We need more
accuracy all along the line Of human
endeayor. This age demands more def
initeness, more exaetitude,' more aeeu-
raey. The Subdivision Of medicine is
gradually subdividing in order that we
may render better service to Human
ity. Medicine recognizes the great ne
eessity for the "Division of Labor. )"
Il seems that q good definition of Sci
snce is Division Of Labor. You win
agree that it is the Evolution Of Edu-
cation. Now let Ms contrast the idea
Of the true Science or the Division Of
Labor or the Evolution of Education
With false Science.
False Science denies; true science
proves. False Science seeks to elimin-
lte the Bible by substituting another
book; true Science seeks to coincide
With Truth and the bible is the best
exponent Of it extant False Science
'sekt to eliminate the very fact Of our
Material Existence; true Science rseog- !.
lizes and seeks to prolong our material
existence 90 that even q fool win have
line to obtain Spiritual Longevity.
aalse Science teaches that since yOr
ave no physical existence, yOu can
ave no disease, no pain; true Science
Hys the reverse. False Science seeks
Q eliminate the fact Of your existence
materially, therefore, IL can only lead /
. physical neeis.t which invites the
avasss Of disease and physical death. !
