Signs of the Times

Trevor Davies' Corner

From a symposium published by The Reader's Digest Pleasantville, New York

Harry Emerson Fosdick, author and radio preacher; minister emeritus, The Riverside Church, New York City:

William James of Harvard once said that his interest in personal immortality was not of the keenest order; but his belief grew stronger as he grew older and, when asked why, he said, "Because I am just getting fit to live."
