The Shrinking Earth.

A twentieth century vision.
Into the void world was flung
To join the spheric choir.
On its appointed way It swung
ROBBED in primeysl fre.
Upon its hot and glowing face
The cooling foods descended.
The land and ocean took their place,
The sky above them Bonded.
The sun and rain. the ice and frost,
Chiseled and carved II daily,
Till all the surface was embossed
With mountain. stream and valley.
Came Ash and reptile. bird and beast.
BY bounteons nature ncurished.
Came man. the mightiest and the last.
Who multiplied and 6ourished.
He sailed the seas. he bridged the streams.
He fought for pride or plumber,
Saw God in visions and in dreams
And learned TO watch and wonder.
The centuries behind him rolled,
The tribes increased TO nations.
From torrid heat to arctic cold
They fixed their habitations
And then a strange thing came to view
That set the wise to thinking
As man In skill and wisdom grew
The earth kept shrinking, shrinking.
The steamships throbbing Ger the deep.
The cables creeping under.
Contracted all the seas that keep
The continents asunder. -
hundred miles became as ten
Where iron sieeds went rushing,
And myriads soon OF angry men
For anper room were pushing.
They dropped the hammer and the spade.
They seized the sword and saber.
And every nation stood arrayed
For war against its neighbor.
Then DER the earth an outcry ran,
To highest heaven arising,
Doth God Almighty mock at man,
Such fate as this deNsingf
'.subdue the EARTH" was his command.
But what for US obcyingY
A shriveled earth on which to stand,
And man his brother staying.
Peace upon earthi ls this the way
To gain the peace we cherish?
Read US the riddle. ye who may,
Lest we curse God and perish.
Then down the skyey Geld again
Angelic pinions glistened,
"Peace upon EARTH" again the strain,
And all the wide world listened.
Peace upon earthi But not the peace
OF sulleD isolation.
Not yet the shrinking earth may cease
Nation to draw to nation
Yet not for war hath God designed
The narrowing seas. but rather
For brotherhood OF all mankind
In one all loving Father.
For this the earth must smaller grow,
To this is man progressing.
And some day all shall see and know
The bestihc blessing.
Even with the words arose crash
OF nations in collision.
And cannon roar and saber clash
Destroyed the heavenly vision.
Bat Ger the tumult OF the fray
The angels kept on singing.
And still their song, "some day. some day,
In human hearts kept ringing.
