Show R SHIFTING The drift of Tunc has H SANDS brought with it the shifting H sands. Rivers sometimes change their H courses. Vast territories, far removed H " from seas and oceans, have in their soil H deposits that puzzle the brain. The H Great Gorge is b:t (ho history of Niaga- H rn. The Grand Canyon of the Colo B rndo is but the caprice of a water-way H among the wild and scenic fastnesses of M the Rockies. What we call Time is on- H ly a halt in the march of the eternities H n period that grants a human being the H moment to fashion destiny. The river Hj of life moves always in the statlicst gran M dcun today, a frantic torrent; tomorrow, 1 a limpid stream. Tilings do not really H decay they change, they shift. It is a M thing crowded with pathetic sadness! H Some day my child will begin its pil- H grimage to n far-away land. Some oth- H er child will romp and sport on my ba- H by's old play-ground. Tlus, the shift- H ing scenes are set for the new that come m to play their part in life's great drama. |
