Glorious Is the prospect open to your
view today. This is the best morning the
world has ever seen since the Almighty
called it into being by the power Of His
word, and tomorrow will be better than
today. The new era, as the philosophers
love TO call Ii. il upon us with all Its glori-
Gus possibilitieE. its brilliant potentiali-
ties, it's splendid hopes.
Continually the old order Is changing,
giving placs to new, and God Is fulfilling
himself In many ways lest one GUS
tom should corrupt his world fulfilling
himself in an ordered progress of events
that are advancing TO the time he himself
keeps as this Great world goes forever
spinning down the ringing grooves Of
change True, it may take him 1000 years
to advance single step, but he always
marches forward"
