Farrand, the pioneer studies of Trudeau and the optimism which he has
brought into the campaign, the splendid demonstration by the New York
Board of Health of what organization can do, have helped immensely in
this world-wide conflict.

SOME years ago, in an address at Edinburgh, I spoke of the triple gospel
which man has published--of his soul, of his goods, of his body. This
third gospel, the gospel of his body, which brings man into relation
with nature, has been a true evangelion, the glad tidings of the final
conquest of nature by which man has redeemed thousands of his fellow men
from sickness and from death.

If, in the memorable phrase of the Greek philosopher, Prodicus, "That
which benefits human life is God," we may see in this new gospel a link
betwixt us and the crowning race of those who eye to eye shall look on
knowledge, and in whose hand nature shall be an open book--an approach
to the glorious day of which Shelley sings so gloriously:

Happiness
And Science dawn though late upon the earth;
Peace cheers the mind, health renovates the frame;
Disease and pleasure cease to mingle here,
Reason and passion cease to combat there,
Whilst mind unfettered o'er the earth extends
Its all-subduing energies, and wields
The sceptre of a vast dominion there.

(Daemon of the World, Pt. II.)
