The last number under Bok's full editorial control was the issue of October, 1919. This number was oversold with a printed edition of two million copies a record never before achieved by any magazine. This same issue presented another record unattained in any single number of any periodical in the world. It carried between its covers the amazing total of over one million dollars in advertisements.
And because thus all my nature may reach out its yearnings to Him, and in reaching out may find that after which it feels, and yet, finding it, must feel after it all the more; therefore, high above all other delights of search, high above all other blessednesses of pilgrimage, high above all the buoyancy and concentration of aim and contempt of hindrances which pour into a soul, before which the unattained ideal burns beckoning and inviting, there stands the blessedness of the man 'in whose heart are the ways' which lead to God in Zion.

Everyone's own wisdom is with every one a subject of praise. Everyone speaks ill of the wisdom of others, and well of his own, in all instances. Men whose judgements agree with respect to any unattained object, even though there be a variety of considerations, become gratified with and applaud one another.
He makes it possible to live outward lives of obedience, which, imperfect as it is, has 'great reward. He makes it possible for us to attain the yet unattained, and to be sure that we 'shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. He has said, 'The water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up unto everlasting life. Only when we can say, 'I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me, will it be true of us in its fullest sense, 'A good man shall be satisfied from himself.
Even his first season had not passed over without his feeling lone in the crowded saloon, or starting at the supernatural finger in the banqueting-hall.
