If yo want to live the ideal life, if you have that in your soi which fixes your eyes upon the stars, if you have in min the great Man of Nazareth, than whom no greater ha lived in the history of the world, who caught the inspiratio of the Golden Rule, who placed service above self, who gav up His job and wandered through all of that country teacl ing His ideals, who said to His disciples, ©If you would be thT) inrtar greatest of all be servant of all,© if you have these ideals an |j do not care for the accumulation of money, do not care wha people say about you, then the practice of medicine is wortleven while. If you want a home, you cannot have it without son pose real woman. If you can find such a woman, present tli a m matter fairly and squarely to her, tell her what she mon men have to endure at your hands, that she must go through lif prep without the silks, satins, and furs of other women, that must do without social life and the many other things thainto are attractive to her. If she is then willing to stand you and be a helpmeet, marry her. There is no man oi , earth who stands so close to Almighty God as the hones . doctor who has the inspiration of souls to heal as well a wni, bodies to heal. Ours is a double office. People lie to every the body but to the doctor, and sometimes to him. But w figh get nearer to the truth, we know more about the skeleton snt)1 in closets and about the inner history of the man, womai*jom and child in a family. We ought to know; it is the seci-et o; ^ our heart, and that gives us power. ^rhi "If, in addition to all the labor, self-sacrifice, self-denial niti loss of fame, and everything of that kind, you are still will inst ing to take the abuse that comes to you and yours, then thf S1C? practice of medicine is worth while. Will you be abused! Undoubtedly. You all know it. You will be misrepresentet resi and lied about and, like the Great Physician of Nazareth and after you have done your best you will be crucified. But il equ is worth while. Wouldn©t you rather today be the Man oi the Nazareth than all the Alexanders, Ceasars, and Napoleons! J, f In the history of the world, where are they now compared ^er to Jesus of Nazareth, the Great Physician, who went aboul tha doing good without a home indeed, without a place to laj for His head and without a meal arranged for in advance? If Dr, these are your ideals, to serve constantly to the best of yom I ability, to sacrifice everything sometimes even your healti in and life if you have before you the opportunity to be of j some good in this world and to make the world a little better, a little more fit for others, then what matters everything else?© wo SPENCER M.
