1t was a miniature map of the
world, true microcosm, across
which in letters meant to be
seven thousand miles high
for they were the full diameter
of the earth-you had super
posed the one word-TRUTH.
AS I curiously studied the sym
bolism of this design, became
aware that all sorts of emotions
were thronging my heart whose
beating was as syncopated as
my thoughts. For here was I in
the presence Of a Purpose, clean,
brave, wholesome, divine-a
purpose wider than the earth,
for it reached to the stars and
laid hold on Heaven.
Do you mean it? Is it your
plcdge-your conservation? Is
that word Truth written on your
