Synopsis

Excerpt from The Best Life: An Address

My first answer is: It is the life of truth, the life that is spent in searching for, in hold ing, and in expressing, the truth. To inquire, to know, to tell: these are three phases or functions of our relation to what we call truth. The first command of the Bible is, Let there be light; and the first commendation of the Bible is, And God saw the light, that it was good. Among the last declarations of the Apocalypse is that of the blessing that And there shall be no night there, for the Lord God giveth them light. Man's first appetite is for light, and there is no surer sign of dy ing than the coming of the twilight.
