TRUTH'S PROGRESS

From the June 1908 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In dreams I saw around the world
A flaming path of light,
And from its edges, swift unfurled
By living impulse, swept uncurled
A streaming glory bright.

And where the wonder of it flowed
There was no death, no strife;
But bounteous blessings were bestowed
As, cleansed and purified, there glowed
The consciousness of Life.

Only what Love had fashioned first,
Withstood the test unmarred.
All that humanity had cursed,
The brood of evils fear had nursed,
To nothingness were charred.

O vision meet for better seers!
Truth's blaze resistless runs.
Expanding with the flying years,
More luminous its zone appears
Than galaxy of suns.
