This theory turned out to be true. The doctors proved it conclusively by exposing cut nerve ends of Rhesus monkeys to the virus of human polio. They then separated the slender neurotubules a little way up the nerve and examined them under the electron microscope. Some of them were full of tiny round specks not present in healthy nerves. By extracting the nerve samples at different times, the doctors proved that the particles crept slowly up the nerve from the point of entry. They moved about 2 mm.

At Pentecost, there were tongues of fire from heaven, and human beings like ready lamps, waiting to be lit. At Amsterdam, there were committees, agenda, resolutions, debates, and trilingual earphones. The men of Amsterdam did not expect and did not receive flames from heaven. They had not met to be inspired but to "get something done." They were moved, not by tongues of fire, but by reasonable anxiety, cautious good will, Protestant practicality...
