Summary

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode is edited and adapted from The Open Door by Hugh Black, published in 1914.

2:13.0	When we look steadily at life, we always see it against that background.
2:24.3	We are often able to forget it, and are sometimes able to neglect it, simply leaving it out of account, but not forever. Sooner or later we come close to it and are compelled to consider it.
