DOCTOR HOPKINS' WORK 



thought to simplicity of thought. This Doctor Hopkins was 

 able to do with the problems of food production. 



His use of common natural raw materials in the production 

 of food was strongly objected to by many who were directly 

 or indirectly gaining profits out of the old-school systems, and 

 many honorable and dishonorable efforts were used to discredit 

 the more simple and truthful methods. Doctor Hopkins was 

 always ready to take issue with the opponents of the new 

 school of fertility; and being always sure of his ground, he 

 was at his best when discussing points of controversy. In his 

 strongest defense against critics he had no feeling other than 

 a desire for justice. 



Doctor Hopkins' love of humanity was his greatest emo- 

 tion. While knowing full well the dangers that might come 

 in his mission abroad, he did not hesitate to accept what he 

 considered a duty to humanity. 



One phase of his life work is done ; another is left undone ; 

 and it must become the duty of the many who received inspira- 

 tion and the light from Doctor Hopkins in his lifetime, to 

 revere his memory and carry on the dissemination of his great 

 principles, in the spirit he would have given — a love for 



humanity.
