MAKING ACHIEVEMENTS.
written by the Rev. AIphonse NJ.
Schwitalls, S. j., Phi. D., AS
sociate Professor of Biology,
St. Louis University

On December az of this year. a hun
dred years passed since the birth of
Louis Pasteur, at Dole, France. His
life was significant for the glory of
France France has acclaimed him
by an overwhelming popular vote as
her most famous son. His life was
significant for biological science, for it
was Pasteur who discovered the ma
ture of fermentation and of putrefac-
tion. the germ origin of disease in
man aud cattle, and who founded the
great sciences OF bacteriology and i'm
munology Any single one of these
achievements would have been ample
10 render man famous, and to make
him benefactor to mankind.
Pasteur, with his indomitable energy
and his keen insight into the relations
of things, was able to close his life
with the consciousness that he round
ed out a cycle of discoveries, which
united i'm one great principle the vast
number of seemingly unco-ordinated
facts which we now know to be most
intimately associated. In the central
thought of all his work. that life can
arise only from pre-existing life and
cannot arise from non-living matter,
Pasteur found the key to the enor-
nous number of problems he had set
himself to solve
Yet significant as his life is to
France and to Science, it is not with
out its profound significance for Cath
olic apologetics. If the popular mis-
conception that Catholic teaching
tranmels scientific research, and that
the Catholic scientist must needs be
hampered in his work by belief in
Catholic doctrine. is still common in
all too many circles, Pasteur's life
supplies an argument, the force OF
which il would be hard to weaken.
throughout all his vast work, he ever
remained faithful to his faith. He
NAV have proved less faithful to its
practices at certain periods of his life
when enthusiasm and preoccupation
carried him away. ii we are to believe
certain of, his biographers. though the
matter is not beyond dispute. But
Pasteur's mind was too large TO urge
in self-defense the plea of weaker
minds, that religion hampers them IN
their work. He never excused his
negligence on the ground of unbelief
or agnosticism. Perhaps the best
known OF his sayings is his answer
to one of the weaker minds, who ask.
