Excerpt from The Only Good Thing in All the Worlds: "I Have Given Them Thy Word, "

In this rapid age, when the press is master of the world, not only are unknown men of to-day known almost everywhere to-morrow, but those of the widest reputation this year may next year be nearly forgotten. Especially is this true of the octogenarian who has retired from the public arena, but who lives on in the world of his own consciousness when the friends of other days have nearly all gone hence.
