More About Stars

By DR. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK The beginning of “‘worth-while living is the confrontation of ourselves—unique beings, each of us trusted with the makings of persone ality. Every human life involves an unfathomable mystery, for man is the riddle of the universe, and the riddle of man is his endowment

make the most of it is our primary task. Yet even in the realm of organized knowledge we know more about the stars than about

ourselves. In the development of

the sciefices astronomy came first, and after that geology, biology, sociology; until last of -all come psychology. It is man’s strange
