HOME PAGE oo LC: | Friday, October 25, 1918 rth The Great Secret of Life | ‘ By the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory. Copstight, 1918, by The Dress Publishing Co, (The New York Eveuing World } ¥ the “great secret” I mean not the one long hidden but just revealed | concerning the cause of the collapse of Russia, By the great secret | mean the secret that every one of us carries in the beating of lis in the throbbing of his pulse. “In the midst of these stormy times, when the world Is supposed to} have its whole thought upon the war and its issues, word comes that a) ditinguished French chemist has discovered what life is. | By resolving animal matter (which {s fundamentally the same In all eAdtures, from the lowest to man) into the two elements, albuminoid and | sugar, found in vegetables and in cinder form in the earth, the gréat secret was revealed. Man is, therefore, a natural product of the earth, formed of simple ele. | ments under infinite modifications. It is all clear now, and nothing) remains but the trivial task of making a living being. | But it will occur to many that there is @ tremendous difference between resolving animal matter into its original elements and the endowing non- living matter with life. Chemistry may easily tell us what we are made of, but the test of the business 1s to take the elements that have been reached by the analysis | and out of them make living men and women. When the chemists succeed in creating even a tadpole out of non- living matter they will be in a position to talk to us. Until they do this we will continue to believe that they are merely talking shop. As a matter of fact, these alleged “discoveries” along the line of the | genesis of life are nothing but moonshine. The greatest chemists of to-day can only say with one of Shakespeare's characters, “In Nature's infinite book of secrecy a LITTLE I can read”—- ttle and no more. The way in which we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” is as much of a puzzle to us as it was to the first man who ever thought about It. | Wonderful indeed have been the strides made by chemical science, but | the passing of non-living matter into living is a8 profound a mystery as) it ever was. All the chemists in the world working in concert could not make one | poor angleworm. | If they could make the angleworm they could make a Pericles or a Webster, a Lloyd George or a Marshal Foch. But they cannot do {t, and I am glad that such fs the case. Can You Beat It!

Verily, it {s a blessing that behind all that we know lies the great big background of the UNKNOWN; for it !s this mystery that sends the flood- | tides of poetry rolling over the humdrum and commonplace of our littlc| oxistence, If the chemists should actually succeed in making a man, or even a| vird or. dog, life would no longer be worth the living.
