Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Life and Labor of A. D. Gillette, D.D
Sometimes a remark seemingly casual, drop ped by a man of deep thought and wide experi ence, reveals the real conviction of men envied as the favorites of fortune. A profound writer of ancient times, a monarch at once the wisest, the wealthiest, and the greatest who has left his own record of his personal experience, wrote, when at the acme of his power, these words: He that winneth souls is Wise. In the fascinating poem of his youth which pictured a dream of domestic bliss never realized because his pasz'fz'm robbed him of it, in the instructive teachings of his manhood whose practical direction the lure of his very fortune betrayed him into violating, and yet more in the pensive review of a long life as the rarest favorite of fortune - every where in his youthful, manhood and aged records the same sad disappointment speaks out Wis dom, wealth, position, a! Is vanity, yes.
