A Lifting Hope

Man is little above the animal in this world,

fights at all times the pull of the force of gravation.
The highest building monument will some day be
pulled down or fall down, but long man fights
the force Newton discovered, will build still
higher buildings and monuments and so strive to the
end of time.
We find everywhere, in cities and in the rural
communities the sign of strife against nature and
the destroying elements of this earth-lhe lifting
energy do and create and up build. and this is
the hope held out for the future of mankind.
Humanitariansm is by-product of strife and
mastery, and the will to stand up and fight and to
help fellowmen is force created oppose the
counterpull of gravitation and of slow time for
if each generation is bettered and the progeny of
every living man and woman is little higher

tidal or glacial force which some day will challenge
death itself and perhaps the grim reaper
Already many diseases are but in name only.
Already the caveman and the savage is thing of
the past. The light that the early Ionians lit is
being carried down through the course of ages and
but for the dark period of history the early
centuries; has progressed to what end we know
not but force is working in this world stronger
than gravitation disease death itself for
dreams of conquering death and the dream is the
first plan-and this force lies within each of and
should be encouraged to the uttermost.
Nothing truly great was ever accomplished by
faulters who satisfied man. no matter what his
position, should strive to master first himself and
then his environment. The prisons of the world
destined to become training schools where the inmate
may acquire trade and profession, and every
man in prison today should first lift himself, and
then afterward the prison will be lifted of the
mre and the slime and into the light of and
regeneration through the strife and mastery of it's
inmates.-Ex.
