MAN'S AGE-LONG QUEST.

‚ 'THE MYSTERY OF LIFE.

MR KIPLING -AND THE" SURGEONS.

The anniversary of the birth of John Hunter was celebrated by a dinner at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in Lincoln's Inn Fielda. Sir Anthony. A. Bowlby (president) was in the chair.

Mr. Rudyard Kipling, proposing "The Hunterian Orator" (Sit J. Bland-Sutton), said his excuse for speaking in such an assembly was that he was by calling n dealer in words, and worda were, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.. He continued :-

There is a legend which has been traps- mitted to us from the remotest ages. It has entered into mary brains, and coloured hot a fow creeds. It is this: Ouce upon a time, or rather, at the very birth of Time, when the Gods were so now that they had no names and Man was 'atill damp from the clay of the pit whence he had been digged, Man claimed that he, too, was in some sort a deity. The Gods were as just in those days as they are now. They weighed his evidence) and decided that Man's claim was good-

E that he was, in effect, a divinity, and, nach, entitled to be freed from the trammels of mere brute instinct, to enjoy the consequences of his own acis. But the Gods sell everything at a price Having conceded Man's claim, the legend goes that they came by stealth and stole way this Godhead with intent to hide. it where Man-shou k?-never-find it again, But this was node so easy. If they hid it' anywhere on Earth, the Gods foresaw that Mau, the inveterate hunter-the father, you might say, of all bunters- would leave no stone unturned or wave unplumbed till he had recovered it. If they concealed it among themselves, they

And it is just this search for this ungh locatable spiritual area, whether it be a growth or a survival, which has pre-" occupied man from that dar to this. The priest and the law-giver have probed and fished for it through all the ages; but, more than any other."through" all the ages, the leech, the medicine-man, the healer has been hottest on its track He hun searched wherever he dared, openly or furtively in afely or at the risk of his life. In the early days the astrologer physician, as he called himself, dreamed that the secret of man's etertial unrest was laid up in the sun, moon, and stars: and consequently, since all created things. were one in essence, that a univerzni medicament for man's'eternal woes would be discovered upon earth. So he searched earth and the heavens for those twin secrets and sacrificed himself in the search as a matter of course.

Later, when the embargoes on the heal- ing art were lifted, when at last he was permitted to look openly into the bodies of mankind, the nature of his dreams changed for awhile. He had found more wonders beneath his knife than earth or the planets had heretofore shown."bim. And that was barely tea generations ago. Once again, the surgeon, as he had be come, renewed his arch and, once again, sacrificed himself in the search as his passion drove him. There is no anesthesia so complete as a man's absorption in his own job.

B01ENTIFIC RESEARCH.

In the teeth of the outrageous, the absurd disabilities imposed on him, Man, the imperfectly decatured animal, who cannot trust the evidence of his own senses in the simplest matter of fact; whose evidence on the simplest matter in coloured by his own iniquities; Man, always the hunter, went up against the darkness that, cloaked him and every act of his being, to find out what order of created thing he might be. He called it scientific research. It was the old quest under a new name. But, this time, the seekers who headed it, like the priest. and the lawyer, admitted that they knew very little Experience had taught them to be humble: For that reason, their Knowledge was increased, They moved forward into areas of the body which, till then had denied themselves to man's hand. They were turned back, without explanation, from other areas which, as yot would tolerate no spying. They were bewildered by mysteries which some new marriage of observation upon accident Rome @redostined slip of the knife, re- solved into mysteries profounder still! 3x it any wonder that the old dreams came back The dream of the essential.
