"I am so glad," said Auntie Sue, her dear old face glowing with love,
and her sweet voice tremulous with feeling, "I am so glad they chose the
river for their wedding journey."

HAROLD BELL WRIGHT
A Biography
By ELSBERY W. REYNOLDS
The biography of a man is of importance and interest to other men just
to the degree that his life and work touches and influences the life of
his time and the lives of individuals.
Only in a feeble way, at best, can the life story of any man be told on
the printed page. The story is better as it is written on the hearts of
men and women and the man himself does the writing.
He lives longest who lives best. He who carves deepest against corroding
time is he who touches with surest hand the greatest number of human
hearts.
He may or may not be a prodigy of physical strength. He may or may not
be a tower of mental energy. But so long as this old world stands the
man with an overpowering desire for all that is best for the race to
be in the race, whose life is in tune with the divine and with the good
that is within us all, whether he be orator, writer, artist or artisan,
is a giant among men.
