Two Scientists were riding in a steam-car recently. Their conversation turned upon the wonderful power of Truth to quickly destroy beliefs of fever and other diseases. A gentleman sitting in front of them, who had evidently been listening to their conversation, but had caught only portions of it, turned and asked them if they would have any objections to telling him what they had found that would heal so quickly. One of the Scientists said, "The understanding of what God is." The gentleman, with astonishment depicted in his countenance, replied, " Oh, I thought you had something more tangible than that!" He asked no more questions.
