States influence the world commercially, politically and socially by its existence as it does today? Speak out in acts. The time for words is past, for action is the highest perfection and the development of the utmost power, vigor, and activitiv of our natures. Each generation leaves to its successor an unfinished work. We build upon the foundations we find already laid. Act now, for the present alone is ours. “There ' s but one word upon the face of Time — That word is, “Now.” Heed it before you hear Life’s evening chime, Your head to bow And, with a gemless crown, at Failure’s shrine, Ask God to raise The curtain ’twixt the hope that seems divine And misspent days. “Now” is the crisis of man’s circumstance— His life, his all; The trial of his fortitude, his chance To rise or fall. The column waits, the old flag floats on high — But soon the sun Will count a day lost, and in sadness sigh, “No battle won.” The potters day is in thy hands to mould An angel’s face — Why leave it, idly, to turn crude and cold. And lose its grace? The mountain beckons from its wooded sides, “Come unto me.” The river whispers, “Ah, my struggling tides Roll uselessly.” The desert calls for water, that a flower May raise its head; And Science pleads her resurrection hour, To leave the dead. Great Now, while yet we sing, you glide away In mystic air? Out from the sunshine of the glad to-day, On, on to where. To-morrow, youth’s bright harbinger, still thrive— ’Twill never be; If a man should have a hundred-thousand lives, He’d find in thee The power that made the lily first disclose Her wealth of white— The cornerstone from which Time’s temples rose,— The source of might.
