“WHITHER, WORLD OF MAN”?
At the portals of the future’s Imponderable span, Blasted hopes behind you, Whither, world of man? Smoke of bitter tumult Clouds your visiqn still, The grim, grey ghost of Fear, Rides rampantly ‘ at will. Your mind a raging torrent - ■ of strange conflicting plans, > Blue-prints of a new world order* Drawn with trembling hands.
At the portals of the future’s Veil of Destiny, Woi'ld of man, take heart, Faith waits to set you free. Free from misunderstandings Soul-destroying blight; Free to walk with dignity, In everlasting light; Free to build an edifice on Ideals born in strife; Free to grasp the meaning Of the rich floodtide of life.
At the portals of the future’s Uncharted. wilderness, Undreamed of opportunities await* Mankind to bless! March onward, world of man! With Faith your guiding star; Let courage be your strong right arm And nought, shall bar Your pathway to that long-sought goal, Where misunderstandings cease And all Horizons meet and blend, In Universal Peace! N ' - W. R. Whiteside.
