“The one fatal thing in life is to lose one’s interest in it, and this is where the specialist, the man of one set of interests, only seriously handicaps himsplf in life’s adventure,” writes Sir Reginald Blomfield in the “Daily Chronicle.” “The Humanist alone, taking the term in its widest sense, seems to me to have the key. The vital force that keeps man going is not solely physical and material, it is spiritual as well, a certain ethical and intellectual attitude to life. Those whom the gods love die young, though they may outlive the Psalmist’s three score years and ten.”
