In times when the nation was
stirred by tumult and strong emotions,
the Quaker poet" caught a vision Of
the light that was breaking. "calnl
and clear" We do well occasionally
to listen to those seers who glimpse
secrets that elude the eyes and ears
Of those less gifted with penetrating
insight.
In the midst of the "harsh noises"
OF our own day, the din of battle and
the clash Of conflicting interests, is It
possible for us to hear low sweet
prelude" that foretokens the full out
burst of harmony which Whittier
heard in his own day? Can we see
any signs of vanishing discord to
make us cherish the belief that the
visions of the idealsts have any sub
stantial basis?
That depends upon whether we util
ize within ourselves the elements
that are responsive to the strains @
the low sweet prelude" which the
poets finely attuned ear caught. The
world in which each individual lives
is of his own making. Man is not
wholly the victim OF circumstance, but
is born to dominion" Within his
own nature he possesses the requisites
for making real in his own experience
The vision which embraces the new
heaven and the new earth"
