Glasses rich in gold and silver, Millionaires of greenback standing, Never struck the spark electric From the skies and hung it OCT us, Blazing stars to light our darkness.

 cult;
 Nor caught they the forceful, hissing, Fire-engendered steam, nor forced it As servant to mems bidding. Busy brains, not gold or greenbacks, Force the doors of Natures storehouse. Wond'rous is the spark electric WOnd 'rOuS are it's varied uses, Lighting not our city only, And our thoughts and words convey But for tPk' Heating and propelling, And for multifariouS uses; Used in science and mechanics, Used for setting type for printing, Mystic types that fix fOreve Silent, unseen, potent thinking, Thoughts that keep the world pro-

 Used for photographic printing, Burning in the human visage On the silver coated tablet, Fixing thus for generations

 Gold is satisfied with shining. Work, brain-wOrk is revelation, Gods own manner of unfolding The vast plans of his creation. Science is revelation, And part of God $ unrolling Of the endless scroll of ages, And devulging the deep secrets That surround his mighty doings. Many wond 'rouS things lie near us, Secrets only as bright colors Secrets are to grOping blind men, Only as sweet sounds are secrets To dull ears devoid of hearing; Delving brains with Gods assistance Snatch the secrets from their hiding. Ignorance once spread the earth out Without form or shapely limit, Lying flat and without motion, Like shapeless, lifeless island On some silent stagnant ocean, And the only world created, And the center of all interest, With the heavens moving round it. Science took the earth and raised it, Took the earth up from it's grov'ling, Turned it out globe and hung it, In the everlasting heavens:
