CHAPTER XIV 



What is Life? 



I have taken it for granted that no life is 

 worth discussion which is not useful; that 

 every life worth the candle is spent in the 

 service of our loved ones and our fellow man, 

 to the end that the world in which we live 

 shall be brighter, wiser, or more beautiful 

 because we have passed through it. 



My search is for the highest pathway of 

 this life, and I am convinced that it can only 

 be found in the growth of every power of 

 the soul and the body to the utmost reach 

 of their capacity. 



This acme of living cannot be attained in 

 the city. In the city we are spendthrifts. 

 We give, give, give and never receive. I be- 

 lieve that man's full growth will be best
