The True Source of Life

And now a Chicago scientist thinks he has discovered the secret of longevity, by which he can prolong life so that man will live to be one thousand years old. He will do this by careful hygiene and the destruction of germs. But, like all other attempts, this will be a failure. There is but one Source of Life, Jesus Christ. With Him "is the fountain of life." That life comes through faith. This does not mean that hygiene will be ignored, but that it will be the very best and wisest, not built up on the destruction of lower organisms, but on the very food and life of God, given of God for that purpose.
