Dr. Albert Schweitzer was born in Alsace in 1874 and soon achieved an international reputation as a theologian, philosopher, and musician. At the age of thirty, moved by the sufferings inflicted by the white men on the people of the Belgian Congo, he abandoned his brilliant career, trained as a doctor, and sailed for Lambarene, to devote the rest of his life to the African. His work, which is still going on, illustrates the saying of Christ: 'Preach the word... heal the sick... cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give' (St. Matthew 10, vv. 7 and 8).
