Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Annual Meeting of the Medical Society of the State of North Carolina, 1879 And it is a source of no little pride with every true son of the "Old North State" (who marks in any degree the progress of the times) to note the fact that in effort, zeal, attainments, skill, dignity and distinction among her medical men she stands inferior to none and superior to many of her sister States, and the impulse of every patriot is to bid you God speed in all your organized and efficient work. There are few, I trust very few, among the many truly reasoning and thinking people of our quiet old Commonwealth who partake in any measure of the apprehension now occasionally expressed, and sometimes preached, that at the increased knowledge of the natural world to which physicians are attaining is accompanied by a correspondingly decreased belief in the supernatural. With such few, and such views, I assume that this body, as well as myself, has no sympathy nor lot. A profession like yours, which in the complimentary and just language of another, "has almost annihilated distance, baffled pain, multiplied every convenience of life, and covered the civilized world with traces of triumphant skill," is surely too potent an instrumentality in illustrating the glory of God, to be regarded with any such timid apprehensions. The simple yet solemn ceremony by which we have just ushered in the beginning of your labors, have launched your deliberations on the wings of prayer to Him "whom by searching we may not find out," is a recognition by you of the important truth, that the science to which you have consecrated yourselves is the ready handmaid of the religion of the spirit. So, let all good people, all true seekers after light and knowledge, bid you press on in their gigantic strides of discovery which have signally characterized your progress in the present age; and let the timid laggard who accepts "Atheism as the creed of science" be overtaken by the humiliation of being excluded from the feast of the soul, which truth is spreading for us. Therefore we greet your coming together and accord to you the foremost rank in the pursuit of truth in the natural world, and commend with propriety, I conceive, the Divine injunction "to forsake not the assembling of yourselves together."
