Cancer and Other Things

cancer ana OlneT HlHSS
We have heard great deal lately
about science and scientists, evolution
and evolutionists, theology and theo-
logians, law and liberty, and also
some things that sounded like bunk
in brainstorms.
After all, it doesn't make much diff
ference whether evolution is theory
or fact. Here is something far more
important:
Two British scientists believe they
have discovered vaccine that will
prevent cancer. If they have, Chris
tian and Pagan, believer and atheist,
will stand together and call them
blessed
So far as the biological knowledge
of Darwin and those who agree with
him or oppose him is concerned, can
GER and other diseases of the flesh
might go on torturing and killing un-
til the end of time But when a sci
enlist goes into his laboratory, puts
his knowledge Of bacteriolOgy to prac-
teal use and emerges with something
that will drive the devil pain out of
human body and light the souls of
the afflicted with hope, then science
really has done something of which it
may boast.
10 uTfl
to say positively that these British
scientists have discovered the long
sought preventive. Time and again
have theories of a cancer preventive
or cure failed on the final test. 1t
may be that this one will go the way
of others. There remains yet one test,
one that will call for courage of the
highest order.
A medical authority predicts that
within year volunteers will be asked
for in order that the vaccine may be
tested. After vaccination the vOlun-
teers will be inoculated with living
cancer germs. If the vaccine renders
the body immune, science will have
scored one of its greatest triumphs.
If it fails, another martyr to science
will have fallen.
And there will be volunteers, no
question to that. The world is still
well peopled with men who love their
neighbors as themselves and who will
gamble with death when they believe
humanity will benefit if they win.
The scientist who makes smoother
the pathway trod by the living is great
er than the scientist who draws for
us our line of descent.
The theologian who interests men
as to whittier they go performs a
greater service than the theologian
who enlightens men as to whence they
came.
The volunteer who risks his life to
save his fellow-men is more courage
Gus than the volunteer who risks his
professional prestige in pleading a suit
at law.
We may prate about constitutions
and freedom of speech when we are
strong in health, but these things have
little appeal for one writhing in the
clutch of deadly disease.
The entire world will await with in
terest the final test of this potential
cancer preventive.
The result will far outweigh in i'm
portance many of the petty things we
unduly emphasize.-Commercial Ap-
peal.
