QUOTED
By HARTFORD CURTIS
“He who seek* for heaven alone ta
save his soul
May keep the path, but will not
reach the goal;
While he who walk* In love may
wander far,
Yet God will bring him where the
blessed are."
—Henry Van Dyck, In "The Story of
the Other Wise Man."
United 8tates minister to The Neth
erlands during the World war, for
mer pastor of the Brick Presbyterian
church In New York, considered one
of the most popular and forceful
preachers of the day. Dr. Van Dyck
has contributed largely to religious
literature In such works as “God and
Little Children," "The Reality of Re
ligion," "The Builders" and other
works. He Is best known to most of
ns, however, as the author of the
fanciful and pathetic "Story of the
Other Wise Man."
Dr. Van Dyck creates another, a
fourth Wise Man, who Intended to
join the "Three” as they followed the
Star of Bethlehem. But the "Three”
looked In vain for him. Stopping on
the way to the appointed place where
he was to meet his fellow Magi to
lend assistance to a dying wayfarer,
he arrived too late at the Manger.
Devoting his entire long life to the
search for Him whom he had missed
and In works of charity In which he
spent the entire fortune he had In
tended to bestow upon his King;
finding Him he sought at last tread
ing the dusty road from Jerusalem to
Calvary bearing the Cross upon
which He suffered death, the Other
Wise Man expires at the foot of the
Cross.
His long Journey ended. His treas
ures accepted. He had found his
King.
Cooked string beans mixed with
chopped .onions and browned In good
beef drippings Is a delicious dish.
