an And the traitorous friend at home.
III.
Strong with the arm uplifted, And nerved with God's own might, In an age of glory living In a holy cause to fight: And whilom catching music Of the future's minstrelsy, As those who strike for freedom Blows that can never die.
IV.
Strong, though the world may threaten, Though thrones may totter down, And in many an Old World palace, Uneasy sits the crown: Not for the present only Is the war we wage to-day, But the sound shall echo ever When we shall have passed away.
V.
Strong--'tis an age of glory, And worth a thousand years Of petty, weak disputings, Of ambitious hopes and fears: And we, if we learn the lesson All-glorious and sublime, Shall go down to future ages As heroes for all time.
VI.
Strong--not in human boasting, But with high and holy will, The means of a mighty Worker His purpose to fulfil: O patient warriors, watchers-- A thousandfold your power If ye read with prayerful purpose The Lesson of the Hour.
THE SCIENTIFIC UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE: ITS CHARACTER AND RELATION TO OTHER LANGUAGES.
ARTICLE ONE.
THE ORIGIN OF SPEECH.
The CONTINENTAL for May contained an article, written by Stephen Pearl Andrews, entitled: A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE: ITS POSSIBILITY, SCIENTIFIC NECESSITY, AND APPROPRIATE CHARACTERISTICS. Although then treated hypothetically, or as something not impossible of achievement in the future, a Language constructed upon the method therein briefly and generally explained, is, in fact, substantially completed at the present time. It is one of the developments of a new and vast scientific discovery--comprising the Fundamental Principles of all Thought and Being, and the Law of Analogy--on which Mr. Andrews has bestowed the name of UNIVERSOLOGY. The public announcement of this discovery, together with a general statement of its character, has been recently made in the columns of a leading literary paper--The Home Journal.
