IN THE BEGINNING
International Sunday School Les-
son for April 3, 1932.
There is no occasion for any of the
faithful to be worried about this
attack. Genesis was never in-
tended as a scientific document:
it is written in spiritual terms
and for religious purposes. In
attempting to write the record of
creation in a few words it is like
reducing the map of a continent
to a single square inch.
Our lessons for the second quar- Very early in tlie book the en-

by Professor Ira M. Price, who
adds, “with all these qualifica-

in the world today, able to re-

cludes the story of creation, of
Adam and of his descendants,
and Noah and his sons.- The
second part brings us the story
: of the Patrarchs, Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob and Joseph. The entire
book gives us the origin and de-
velopment of the Hebrew people,
written from a religious stand-
point to show them as God’s
chosen people.

The first chapter of Genesis
pictures the creation of the uni-
verse and its occupants. Two
parallel -sets of three periods
.(called days) are given us. The
first day, according to Professor
W. G. Elmslie, gives us the sphere
of light and the fourth day ten-
ants it with sun., moon, and stars.
•The second day presents the
realm of air and 'water and the
fifth inhabits it with birds and
fishes. The third day produces
habitable dry land and the sixth
provides it with animals and man.

And why not? Nothing can be
urged against the climate. Cer-
tainly there is an abundance of
the proper kinds of food; the
citizenry can scarcely be out
classed in robustness; and to phy-
sicians, they are not outranked
by those in other states—but in
.-spite of all these facts for pro-
tection—diseases may spread and
■anyone catch an infection. “Keep
.Well in Texas”—If tuberculosis
has made its dreaded appearance
it is not necessary to go to an-
other climate to be cured; remain
right here and observe the mod-
ern methods of rest and diet.
If tuberculosis is diagnosed early
iand properly treated there is
positively no reason for removal
to any other state.
AVhat Dr. M. E. Barnes of IoAva
has to say on immunity to dis-
ease will further show that Tex-
ans have the same chance to re-
cover from illness here as else-
where.
“There has always been a
great deal of mystery connected
with communicable diseases —
mystery which is far from being
completely solved even to this
day- For many thousands of
years men have pondered the
question, “Why do people con-
tract disease?” In seeking to give
answer to this question various
.schools of thought have arisen.
“Some have attributed pesti-
lential disease to the action of
evilly disposed supernatural be-
ings—other people of monotheis-
tic faith have attributed such out-
breaks to providential acts of a
punitive nature, holding that the
race was being punished in this
way for its sin.
“A naturalistic view at one
time connected tliese outbreaks with
unusual disturbances in nature Even
so recently as a cehtury ago, promin-
ent men in our own country (e. g.;
Noah Webster) linked tornadoes, eclip-
ses, the appearance of comets or un-
usually bright meteors, the occurence
of earthquakes or other violent up-
heavel with the outbreak of pestilen-
tial diseases. If communicable disease
is due to any of the previous agencies,
there is little use in attempting for
their control. Man can not success-
fully oppose either God, evil super-
‘ ‘ Fortunately the true explanation
natural beings, or the forces of nature,
lies along an entirely different line.
We know that in his physical aspect,
tlie human being is an animal and as
such is subject to the natural laws
which govern life. We have many rea-
sons to believe and every reason to
hope that the occurence of disease is
an accident. There appears to be no
biological necessity that the human
being should die from any other cause
than that connected wit'll old age.”
As the role played by bacteria be-
came known, the attention of investi-
gators was centered upon findings
what were the causative organisms
responsible for the various diseases.
On the basis of our present know-
ledge along these lines, it is possible
to prevent the spread between indivi-
duals of some of the most dreaded
of human diseases. Everyone should
be informed of wliat makes up good
habits so as to build up the best pos-
sible resistance to communicable dis-

One is appalled at the tragic his-
tory of the human race trying through
out the ages to overcome disease, pain
and death. Medical science lias
wrought many changes in the processes
of caring for tlie sick and lessening
the chances for acquiring communic-
able diseases.
Tlie government of tlie United States
in its various scientific bureaus main-
tains a large corps of highly trained
scientists whose duty it is to study
every phase of public and personal
health and determine so far as pos-
sible the causes of illness and the best
measures for preserving and restoring
tlie health of individuals and of the
entire population. Eor years our fund
of information has grown from the
result of these studies. Tlie federal
government has no more important
work than looking out for the health
of the people and possibly the greatest
return for money spent in public
health is obtained from expenditures
in preventative health work which
constitutes over 90 per cent of tlie ex-
penditures for public health activities.
Some states report that this phase of
public health has cut tlie prevelence
of certain diseases as much as 50
per cent in recent years wherever a
reasonable amount has been spent.
Constant watchfulness on the part
of parents, teachers, and health of-
ficers will do much toward ke'eping
down disease. There are forty odd
communicable diseases and eternal
vigilence is the price' of immunity.
Every community should require that
children be vaccinated against small-
pox before entering school. Wherever
cases have appeared in recent years
smallpox has not spread to epidemic
proportions but has died out because
of lack of susceptible persons who can
have tlie disease.
If every child between the age of 6
months and one year could be given
two injections of diphtheria toxoid by
the family physician the incidence of
diphtheria would be minimized. While
the responsibility for this protection
is divided between the parents, the
medical profession and the health au-
thorities, it rests most heavily on the
parents. That thousands of children
die needlessly each year from this dis-
ease is a crime—for the methods of
successful treatment and prevention
are too well known now for their use
to be disregarded. Why wait ^or an
attack of disease to come if we can
prepare against it in advance? The
body may now be provided with the
machinery for its own protection and
no harm done when the agents of
protection are potent and properly ad-
ministered.
Besides protection against smallpox
and diphtheria, we know definitely
that typhoid fever, Asiatic cholera and
bubonic plague are preventable and
anyone who desires can become im-
mune and keep himself immune to
them.
No matter what the ‘f catcliable ”
disease may be (and disease is no res-
pector of age, sex, or station in life)
do not consider fleeing from the state
for a cure.
Lookout for the seemingly simple
things—let every cold be properly
treated, the symptoms of -this ill de-
serve your prompt and careful con-
sideration. Don’t fret and worry—
don’t get downhearted—consult your
doctor.
