STATE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF TEXAS, THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL MEETING. FIRST DAY.-Morning Session. TURNER HALL, SAN ANTONIO, April 28, 1903.

Lankford, vice-Chairman of the Committee on Arrangements, having called the Association to order, the following invocation was offered by Rev. Arthur G. Jones, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, San Antonio. Almighty God, Maker of our bodies and Father of our spirits, we would pause in the business which is before us to make grateful acknowledgment that every good gift comes down from Thee; that in Thee we live and move and have our being. We thank Thee for life, for the life of the body and for the life of the soul. We thank Thee, that in Thy grace and mercy, Thou hast made such adequate provision for our recovery from sin, which so sadly mars the health of the soul. We thank Thee for the wonderful provision Thou hast made for the healing of the diseases which distress the life of the body. As there convenes in this place today, gathered from all parts of this great commonwealth, an assembly of men whose vocation is the welfare of the life of the body, we pray Thy divine blessing upon them. We thank Thee that the old days have passed away. We thank Thee for the progress in science and in the practice of medicine; we thank Thee for our better knowledge of the conditions of disease and the remedies for its relief; we thank Thee for our deeper understanding of the processes of the powers of nature, which Thou Thyself hast appointed to help us in our battle with sickness, so that we have today a more adequate equipment for the alleviation of human suffering. We thank Thee for this body of men, for the good cause to which they have dedicated their lives, for their intelligence, and for the unfailing spirit of sympathy which they always exhibit toward humanity in distress. We pray Thee to guide them in the deliberations of this assembly so that much may be done which will enlarge their usefulness in the days to come. And |
