There is far to go; but consider
the progress that has been made,
since medicine became partly scien-
tific, within the last SO years.
The acute infectious diseases are
some of them mastered, and the rest
on the way to mastery.
tuberculosis is already largely
durable, without specific remedy,
and that is almost in sight.
Cancer is still a puzzle, but al
ready there is knowledge enough to
save multitudes of sufferers, if they
will take advantage early enough
with the emphasis on the "early'D
Of that knowledge.
Diabetes is not cured, but con-
trolled, so that it can be lived with.
"Bright's disease" is harder. but
something can be done even with
that.
Heart disease" covers a large
range Of conditions, many of which
can be prevented.
There is much still to do. but if
this generation does as well as the
last, the normal working life of our
grandchildren should be 80 years.

Amsterdam Avenue between 61st

colored people of the neighborhood
gather in the streets and conduct
revival meetings out in the open.
Sometimes there are three or four
prayer meetings in progress on one
block. And these colored worship
ers take their religion very serious
