The stories you’ve dreamed of; the people you crave to meet; or would love to be. The aliens who’d make you shiver, or laugh. The huge risks of guiding your spacecraft here, or there. The adventures you’d have if only you had the nerve… Or the utter romance of doing that… The humour of orbital disasters and alien conflicts; the perils of ill-advised time-interference; the sheer romance of null-gravity love; the terrors of a leaky hull; the fear of a bullying boss when you’re a thousand light years beyond.; the choices you face in the big, black Vac.

I CRAVE the power to put down here just the word that will let a shaft of true light into the hearts and minds of timid folk who do not seem to realize the potentiality that is implanted in each one of us — singly. These folk write in numbers. They have aspirations and, apparently, the urge to do. But, invariably, they fall back upon the self-analysis: “What am I?” or “I am just one man” or “one woman. What can I do?” Their plaint is always deprecatory, ever disparaging of self: belittling, minimizing, with no conception, apparently, of the seed of divine energy implanted in ...

It is not easy to be certain of the precise origin and meaning of the saying in which my theme is stated. The dictionaries take it as essentially synonymous with "It comes in the course of business," Kipling apparently uses it, in his well-known book, as the title of a collection of stories, to show the very varied things that may come in the course of the day to different kinds of men. I am using the saying, myself, in what I suppose is practically its dictionary meaning, as giving a point of view from which one may well think of the work of his life — a point of view that aims not to ...

Out of the noisy disputes and sectarian wranglings of many centuries, certain great and simple principles shine forth with growing distinctness. They are peculiarly associated with the name of Christianity, and with the remarkable personality of its founder. Jesus stood for the "Real Presence" of God in this world, as the source of its life; he demonstrated that men might live in union or harmony, not only with one another, but with God; he taught that the life of love, or good-will, is the realization and perfection of manhood; he threw a new meaning into the Golden Rule, and made' it the ...
