LESSONS I HAVE LEARNED When a man surveys his past from middle age he must surely ask himself what those bygone years have taught him. If I have learned anything in the swift unrolling of the web of time, it is the virtue of tolerance, of moderation in thought and deed, of forbearance toward ones fellowmen. I have come also to acknowledge the great illusion which lies in the pursuit of a purely material goal. What slight satisfaction lies in temporal honor and worldly grandeur! All the material possessions for which I strove so strenuously mean less now than a glance of love from those who are dear to me. Above all am I convinced of the need, irrevocable and inescapable, of every human heart, for God. No matter how we try to escape, to lose ourselves from our divine source. There is no substitute for God. A. J. Cronin
