Excerpt from A Pastor's Thought on Living Themes

And this building of the Old into the new, this process Of waste and repair in material things, becomes a symbol of the evolutions that occur, and Of the progress that is made, in human soci ety. The Spirit Of Civilization rises, ever and ever, upon the fallen framework Of Civilization. Out Of the Past, a broken sacrifice, Come the building-stones Of the Present. Like as the visible monuments of fallen cities are absorbed in, modern architecture, even SO the civilizations Of the past sufiuse and strengthen the civiliza tions Of the present.

NO man, no people, can ever have lived utter ly In vain. The world's Today is the harvest of all the yesterdays. Our inheritance is the sum Of the undying good realized by all the men and nations that are gone. Our institutions are the outcome of all the revolutions, all the cruci bles, of history. Our Opportunity is born of martyrdom. And if we stand, now, upon the world's Mount Of Transfiguration, it is only because the great souls Of the past have de scended, weeping, into some garden Of Geth semane, that the world might be lifted up on their bruised hearts toward God.
