And in that time, so the prophets have written: when the Twentieth Century shall have passed away, and the sign of the Godman is in the sky: peace shall reign upon earth, and no man shall hate his brother. Neither shall there be war, nor pestilence, nor poverty, nor any other of the shameful things which man has done unto himself since first he knew shame. And a great land shall have risen out of the ocean of the Atlantic, and many islands also, to care for those who were forced from their homes in the land that destroyed it- self, that was called Europe. Nations that are great shall have pcri ' hed, and all men, seeking to be brothers shall have put their hands to a common pledge, and raised up a single force to rule them: the force of wisdom. Then wisdom shall sit in the palaces of the cities, and on the mountain tops, and breathe in the hearts of men.

1 ORE O R D Wise men shall sit in judgment, and order the ways of their brethren, and listen for the voice of God. For wisdom is the knowledge of God, and of His whereabouts, and of His laws and His mercy, and the beauty of His creations. So wisdom brings peace, and teaches love, and sets the face of man toward his spirit. And in that time these things shall be, and the earth and the sky and the sea shall open to man their secrets. Atoms shall put their shoulders to the wheels of commerce, so that trees may grow unharried, and rest in their graves of coal and oil without hindrance. Sound from heaven shall bend itself to the ears of man, that he may hear the music of the spheres, and understand the rhythms of his soul. Colors and perfumes shall rise up from the sea to fashion beautiful images, and nourish the dreams of the young. And through all the land, love, like a famished child, shall sit down to a feast, and rise up filled with joy. No soldiers shall march; no guns shall sound; no bitterness or lies shall do disservice to the lips of anyone. No debts shall be made; yet all promises shall be fulfilled. Death shall come to meet no man; all men shall go to meet death. In the spring forget-me-nots shall blanket the fields, and the hearts of maidens shall turn to the hearts of men, and the sun shall follow its course in the heavens. And God shall be pleased a little, looking at man, and tint the roses with a deeper red, and raise the skylark in the sky.
