A TRULY GREAT LIFE.

the following editorial from last weeks
Moscow Methodist, sets forth amost
striking example in the case of Pas
teur, the great Frenchman, who gave
his wonderful ability to the world
without charge:
At this particular time we are re-
minded of the most famous scientist
of the last century, Louis Pasteur.
Some Of the most striking benefits of
this age are enjoyed because of the
unusual work of this Frenchman.
His father was tanner and his
of the greatness of his mind and soul
he was a king. Emperor Napoleon
III. decorated Pasteur as the greatest
citizen of France. This because Of his
wonderful scientific discoveries and
especially because he brought such
benificent results to humanity He
was the first to discover the principle
of fermentation. He was the first to
master the question of the pests which
destroy plant life. He proved that
there was no such thing as spontane-
GUS generation. 1t took him four
years but at the end of that time his
most bitter opponents conceded that he
was right. He proved that heating
and pasteurizing wine or milk would
preserve it, In lecture before
Napoleon III and his wife he showed
the truth Of the matter and Napoleon
asked him why he had not taken out
a patent on his discovery?
He replied that mo scientist in |
France would think but that he had I
belittIed himself by doing such
thing.p
He saved for his fellow country
men millions of franks by showing
them how to prevent the crop being
destroyed by pests. When he had
stroke of paralysis, he thought he +,

teur who finally showed that Yellow t
Fever and Hydrophobia could be con /
quered. One Of the greatest celebra- I
lions ever conducted in France was l..
in honor of this grand old man when s
he was near the end of his life. The e
theme of each address was " You have
extended the frontiers Of life"
Dumas, the novelist, expressed the q
heart Of France and the world when O
on Pasteur's last Christmas he r
brought him bouquet of flowers and =
addressed him "Our dear and great +
Pasteur.' O
From the beginning to the end of t.
his career Pasteur was not only a de- 2: q
