Chemical Cancer Cures Forecast By National Cancer Institute
Last week at the National Cancer Institute scientists reported drugs achieving complete remission in six cancer types including Hodgkin’s disease and leukemia once deemed fatal. Dr C Gordon Zubrod, head of the institute’s drug therapy program, predicted a chemical cure for lung cancer within five years using the same drugs, while noting slow-growing tumors like breast and prostate cancers remain challenging. The institute also pursues vaccines to prevent cancer.

Divine Healer and the Poor Woman in the Free Clinic
A reflective piece recounts a scene where a poor Black woman in a free clinic offers two pennies and a nickel to a man, who reassures her that the Gospel is free. It contrasts peddling faith with the message that believing in Christ grants eternal life, quoting John 5 24 and urging compassion for strangers as the divine healer symbolically travels the road of life.
