Keeping Sight of Heaven

THERE is no narrowing so deadly as that of man’s horizon of spiritual things, nor can any worse evil befall him in his course on earth than to lose sight of heaven. And it is not civilization that can prevent this, or compensate for it. No widening of science, no possession of abstract truth, can compensate a man or indemnify him for an enfeebled hold on the highest and central truths of humanity. What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?—Verbum Sapienti. (One of the legends on the wall of the Memorial Chapel of Stanford University.)
