In thankfulness therefor, we may v.ell unite in the hope that providence will vouchsafe approval to the things we have done, the aims which have guided us, the aspirations which have inspired us. We shall be prospored as we shall deserve prosperity, ie seeking not alone for the material ?] j _ tilings but for those of the spirit as " well; earnestly trying to help others; asking, before all else, the privilege ':1 of service. As we render thanks anew for the exaltation which came to us we may fittingly petition that 3C I ~ _ - _ moderation and wisdom shall be in granted to rest upon all who are in authority, in the tasks they must dis^ charge. Their hands will be steadied, their purposes strengthened* in ^ answer to our prayers. "Ours has been a favored nation in the bounty which God has bestowT k' ed upon it. The great trial of human' ity, though indeed we bore our part as well as we were able, left us comw paratively little scarred. It is for us to recognize that we have been thus ^ favored, and when we gather at our altars to offer up thanks, we will do well to pledge, in humility and all sincerity, our purpose to prove de g serving. We have been raised up and ^ preserved in national power and consequence, as part of a plan whose wisdom we cannot question. Thus bee lieving, we can do no less than hold our nation the instrument of the providence which has so wonderfully favn ored us. Opportunity for very great . sendee awaits us if we shall prove n equal to it. Let our prayers be raised, [ for direction in the right paths.

The patient Sll( ir Irving R. Bacon, one time lawyer SC j and a writer. Mr. Bacon permitted ; the operation to be made public so aii( that humanity will know whether js ' there is any good in the socalled chi "monkey gland operation" for man- toj l kind. be A local anaesthetic was used for toj the patient, at his own request, as n a he desired to remain conscious dur- ani ii;g the process of gland transplanta- C0l tion. Eighteen minutes before Dr. a ( McLeay made the incision on the pa- tbi : tient, Miss Vrooman, the nurse, liber- tlii ' ated the monkey in the operating tj;;! ; room where Mr. Bacon was lying. | Originally it had been planned to sr< have the patient and animal side by (i0] ; side. ? at Dr. Edgar, who performed the oper- all ation, said of the solution in which the gland was kept, that "in that j ]K,: ! solution I have kept the heart of ajart i tortoise alive and beating for six v. a ' hours. In it are salts contained in I the human blood." The violet rays, *a were played on this solution and an t;,r electric current sent through it for bal purposes of ideal stimulation. Bacon bore.up well. lie saifl he drc felt no pain, but was nauseated. He tlu: seemed interested in the fate of the fit monkey, for he asked: "Is the mon- enr key all right?" lie said it was "only pai j the thought that nauseates me." pr< j Prior to the operation, Dacon, who chi J is a highly educated man, declared he j a was going through the operation for ( his own good, to restore youth to a cla mentality which he said was suffer- c<u ing from grim inroads of age. Also *Ih< he said that if the operatron is all die that he, as a layman, understands it mo to be, he looks for a restoration of his toy general physical condition. wh "I have carefully gone over Mr. Ba- ma con's blood in my laboratory, and have cep found that he is suffering from a toy secondary anemia, which is due to 1 his presenilic condition," Dr. Edgar me said. "This is one of the subnormal- nui ities which I hope to rectify." pco "The animal chosen for the surgi- ha^ cal operation was a native of North- bol ern Brazil," he continued. "It is a i-" 1 monkey of the ring tail variety stand- ine ing approximately two feet in height. 1 Its intelligence is above that of the ccr ordinary monkey of its weight and am environment.
