where the world of light pours out upon the universe goodness, truth, and beauty.

Nor let us forget that light sends out its rays in straight lines; that it carries the heat that kills every germ and purifies every corruption; that it floods the universe with its brightness and its radiance, and bestows its glow and glitter upon its inhabitants. It was in passion for this light that Goethe, the inspired German poet, spoke on his deathbed, saying: Grant me, O God, light from Thee...

By my life, the children of darkness are in misery. He who bolts the doors of his heart and hangs thick curtains between himself and the ripples of this glowing light lives indeed in the blackness, far from the rays of light. How wretched is he who, when light floods over him, keeps it to himself and denies it to others. Columbus and Pasteur and Edison and their like were not stingy with the light of their discoveries toward the children of humanity. The true children of light have shed light upon this world without distinction of race or creed; while those who consented to live in the darkness and to walk with closed hearts and clenched souls are without doubt wretched and miserable: they have been denied the touches of mercy, the looks of tenderness, and the smiles of hope. They are a company who preferred death to life and darkness to light, and so marked themselves for extinction.

Better, then, for a man to draw the veils from his soul, and break the locks from the door of his heart, and go out into bewitching nature, discovering her secrets, piercing her curtains with his glowing light, stretching the eye of his sight and the keenness of his insight beyond the far

twilight, striving to understand nature and to better the world, and opening his heart to receive life and love and beauty... Yes, better for him to light his candle

in the midst of the darkness than to remain smoke and fog, adding gloom to our world and darkness to our earth.
