Union Pacific Employes Magazine 1893 Vol 8 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Union Pacific Employes' Magazine, 1893, Vol. 8 Our thoughts are moulding unseen spheres, And like a blessing or a curse They thunder down the formless years, And ring throughout the universe. We build our futures by the shape Of our desires, and not by acts. There is no pathway of escape, No priest-made creed can alter facts. Salvation is not begged or bought; Too long this selfish hope sufficed; Too long man reeked with lawless thought, And leaned upon a tortured Christ. Like shrivelled leaves, these worn-out creeds Are dropping from religion's tree. The world begins to know its needs, And souls are crying to be free; Free from the land of fear and grief Man fashioned in an ignorant age; Free from the ache of unbelief He fled to in rebellious rage. No church can bind him to the things That fed the first crude souls evolved. But mounting up on daring wings, He questions mysteries yet unsolved.
