BY JACK DIONNE

unanu A FAMous coLLEGE pRoFEssoR quote one of the leading r atomic energy scientists of America-a man at the top oI our recent atomic investigations and discoveries-as saying that within several years we will be curing cancer with atomic energy. Think of that! Why, if there is even a chance that this is true, then all the dangers attendant upon the discovery and introduction of the , atom to the world, are hardly deserving of fear or consideration in comparison to this promised blessing. For a cure for cancer is today the world's greatest physical need. And this great atomic authority says that in a few lears it will*be a fact.

J

So let us quit fearing atomic energy from the damage it might create in war, and look forward to the priceless blessings that can come from it in time of peace. Anyone would rather die from an atom bomb than from cancer. So let the atomic energy search go forward with the blessing and assistance of every right thinking man.

The imagination of man has the horizon of experience; and beyond experience or nature man cannot go, even in imagination man is not a creator. He combines. He adds together. He divides. He subtracts. But he does not create. He cannot think of a color that he never saw. He cannot imagine a sound that he has never heard. He cannot describe a taste" that he has not experienced. Man does not create- o'Eloquence is logic on fire," said Lyman Beecher. Someone made a statement the other day that was very appealing, he said that the world with her present great problems is not so much in need of great political and civic leaders, as of great orators. He spoke truth. Churchill, one of the greatest orators in this world's history, would not have been one-tenth as effective during World War II, had he been less than the mighty man of incomparable thoughts and ,words. Amazing, isn't it, what kingly words can do for a people in time of crisis? Much that,passes for oratory_ is merely argurnent-declamation. Oratory is sornething far different; it is the impassioned outpowing of a human heart-.

An orator's words are the instinctive servants of his heart and mind. Persuasion sits upon his lips. A true orator idealizes the real, fills the gallery of the imagination with statues and pictures perfect in color, enriches the brain, ennobles the heart, and quickens the conscience. Milton was a great genius who firmly believed that the lips of a true orator are touched with Promethean fire. He speaks of the o'Eternal Spirit who can enrich with all utterance and knowledge, and send out His Seraphim with the hallowed fire of His altar to touch and purify the lips of whom He pleases." It is that sort of an orator that the world needs right now to lift our great spirit high once more.

Stephen Girard, ,rr" L""aJ, of lirurd*College, was not only a philanthropist but also a philosopher. The story goes that a friend asked him what he would do today if he knew he would be dead tomorrow and he answered: _t *"TU plant a tree!"

Heard,another philosopher the other day predicting that scientific man will always find a defense against any weapon that comes along. He said that in the beginning we had to protect ourselves against a club, so we devised a shield. There came a bigger club, and we made a bigger shield. And so it has always been right up to the development of great guns. Always we devise a protection. And so we shall against atomic bombs, he said. He quoted a man as saying: "f can't be happy when the world is so frightened of the atom bomb." And he said he answered: "Why can't you? Why make it unanimous?"

And the great bard, Uo-J., ** "*U for the definition of man, replied: "MAN IS AN ANIMAL THAT WRITES."

Roy Gaither, r r"*J. ,,rroi"r-Jr,, or,l" oia, "Regardless of the changes that take place in business there always remain unchanged and undimmed the eternal verities of eharacter, honesty, integrity, truthfulness, fidelity of purpose, and loyalty to trust." And so they shall always remain as lights to guide the free peoples of theworld'

Someone offers a mighty good piece of advice on how to make a speech. He says: "Be sure you have a good beginning, a strong ending, and that you keep the two as close together as possible."
