JUNE is THE MONTH
OF BRIDES
samuel Brown, Md, Member

of Gorgas Memorial Institute)
In this month there will be many
new families founded. That they
should be founded under proper
auspices is all important to the
welfare of the race. Linking the
diseased with the healthy is build
ing on foundation of sand, for
under such circumstances the new
family is starting under a severe
handicap. & Z.
Many states have passed eugen-
les laws, which require medical
examination of prospective mar
ried couples, before marriage Ii
censes will be issued. These laws
have strong advocates in all parts
of the nation. But such laws may
be evaded and will continue to be
evaded until the public comes to
the consciousness that health
should be a foundation stone for
every marriage. 1t is difficult to
legislate health into people. 1t
is better to educate the public to
the need for health when the
teachings of health become an es-
tablished factor. Regardless Of
laws, common sense health rules
will prevail.
The first step therefore, for
those contemplating matrimony is
to have a health audit. Is the man
healthy? Is the woman healthy :?

Perhaps there is some defect
which can easily be remedied. II
both are healthy, barring throw
backs to previous generations, the
children will be healthy and If this
process is repeated for several
generations a more robust and
sturdy race will result.
Assuming that two healthy peo-
pie marry, it then becomes duty
not only to each other but to the
coming generation that they pre-
serve their health. Economically as
well as physically, this is a high
ly important matter. The ills from
preventable disease cost America
each year 81, 5OO,000,00O. Part Of
that is paid for by industry, but
most of it is paid for by the fam
lilies of the nation. The loss OF
each days work and each days
pay brings the newly married
couple closer to the border line
between plenty and want.
The economic position of the
family has a direct relationship to
it's health, according to the late
General William Crawford Gorgas
surgeon general of the U. S. army
who stated that the health of the
family is generally in inverse IA.
ito TO it's income.
That healthy young couples
should do all in their power tc
remain healthy therefore, becomes
essential. This can be done only
by taking the family physician in
to the councils of the family. Per.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1926-06-17

iodic examinations and the advice
he gives on the strength of those
examinations should become a
guiding rule for each new family.
He can guard the young people
against those things which result
in disease and breakdown.
It can be safely predicted that,
if each young couple is healthy to
begin with, and strives for health
throughout the succeeding years, q
race of stronger, healthier people
will populate the United States.

Tragic pages in history gather
around the use of the Bible to block
scientists in their search for truth
Bigots in every age have used the
Bible for the confounding of humble
and reverent students They have
quoted a text. and denied to men the
right to seek.
Little wonder that many men have
said, religion is cruel, religion is
da rkness.
Jesus Christ stood for the open
mind. Christianity can do no other.
1t must hail an idea no matter what
damage is done to the idols.
Let us not mince words. This is
a pagan story. 1t is bad science. but
that is not the worst thing about it.
1t depicts a bad God. a God who
turns nature upside down in order to
give a blood-thirsty army the chance
to kill off their enemies.

one who has read the prophets and
the New Testament can believe in
that God.
If | am ordered the choice between
that God and no God. / choose the
latter. 1t is better to have no God
than to have a bad God.
Jesus gave us another God. He
told of a God who is concerned for
the world. He even dared to use
the word Father when he spoke about
His God.
The scientist adds another word
He tells us of a God of law. of God
who moves through the orderly proc

This furnishes a better choice. We
can believe in God who is love
and who is law.
Calico was right. the world does
move. 1t moves on it's axis. but also
on its moral and spiritual axis. Ideas
move. Consciences move. Men in

hearts, and both head and heart re-

so can God.
