Thousands said the principle was wrong. Thousands said they were
deceived, swindled, robbed. Thousands challenged the man who believed
it right. But thru it all THAT MAN NEVER WAVERED IN HIS DUTY
TO CHIROPRACTIC AND THE SICK. He remained true to chiropractors.
That man has lived long enough to see thousands come back into the fold
as sincere users of that instrument which aids and helps simplify and
shorten the time to get sick well.
In 1924 THE HOUR HAD STRUCK. In 1931 THE HOUR HAS AR
RIVED when the NCM is established and no one has successfully chal
lenged its scientific service; whereas thousands have successfully proven
it IS a Chiropractic necessity in Chiropractic service by a chiropractor.
Verily, I say again unto ye: THE HOUR DID STRIKE in 1924; and
THE HOUR HAS ARRIVED in 1931 for a complete vindication of the
NCM and the man who invented it, as well as the man who endorsed it
and stood hard by during those stormy and troublesome years to see that
it come into its own.
Evolution has taken place. Little, if any could have been possible if
it had not been for loyal chiropractors who remained true thru trying
years. They were friends in need and friends indeed. Your courage and
steadfastness helped Mabel and me to keep on keeping on over the rough
roads. When the bottom began slipping from under, the majority left.
When the bottom began slipping from under, a few remained hard by. If
it had not been for you mere handful, at first; then scores; then hundreds,
and now thousands, Chiropractic would have been lost. You and I don’t
count; we’ll go out of the picture anyhow, some day, but CHIROPRACTIC
is a right principle and practice of human service; it must live in its
purity for posterity. A few understood THAT; a few fought for THAT;
THAT is what made some of us and some of you consistently fight the
great fight thru.
Doss Evins developed the NCM, patented it, and helped to develop its
service. HE had confidence in me; continued to express that loyalty thru-
out the 8 years—never faltering for one second. He remains loyal to
The P.S.C., to Chiropractic, and to Mabel and me. There never has been
and there is not now a scratch of a pen in our business relations. Men
who work for the same objectives, who are honest and sincere, do not
need any.
And, there’s that portion of my Faculty who stood hard by, who were
devoted to Chiropractic; who never wavered—ask of them what I would.
They sacrificed years out of their lives; they pulled up their belts when
the pickings were thin and the clouds getting darker. I hope you honor
them!
Much credit goes to my few trusty field lieutenants who stuck with
Mabel and me in blind faith, believing that a man’s FUTURE was indicated
by his PRESENT, which was predicated upon his PAST.
In 1923, I made what many construed a false move, in adopting the
NCM. Thousands of friends whom I had succored, gave a professional
life of ease to, made fame and fortune for, disregarded my 25 years of
true and faithful service in a moment, and deserted me. Gradually the
tide began to turn. Today it IS turned.
THE HOUR HAS ARRIVED for the ascendency of that old fighting,
dominating leadership which saved this ship thru thick and thin; held
it against all common enemies, within and without our ranks. I believe
your profession is waiting for that leader. He has NOT been found else
where. Seven years the profession has been seeking one. Seven years
they found none present. “ Leaders” have arisen by the hundreds—vacil
lating, compromising, yielding, ducking, evading, building organizations
destined to do aught but act as playgrounds for vanities and egotisms;
none placing CHIROPRACTIC greater than self, and no man is a leader
in any crusade until he is willing to sacrifice himself for the cause he
represents.
