168 PEACE AND PATRIOTISM

The figure of Christ is twenty-six feet in height. In
one hand it holds the emblem of the cross, while the
other is extended in a blessing, and as if uttering the
one magic word Peace. On one side is a tablet with
the inscription: Sooner shall these mountains crumble
into dust than the people of Argentina and Chile break
the peace to which they have pledged themselves at
the feet of Christ the Redeemer. On another side
is the inscription: —

"He is our Peace
Who hath made both One."

THE VISION OF PEACE

Extract from Onward

NATHAN HASKELL DOLE
0, beautiful Vision of Peace,
Beam bright in the eyes of Man!
The host of the meek shall increase,
The Prophets are leading the van.
Have courage: we see the Morn!
Never Fear, tho the Now be dark!
Out of Night the Day is born;
The Fire shall live from the spark.
It may take a thousand years
Ere the Era of Peace hold sway,
Look back and the Progress cheers
And a thousand years are a day!
Text Appearing After Image:

THE CHRIST OF THE ANDES.

PEACE AND GOOD WILL 169

The World grows — yet not by chance;
It follows some marvelous plan;
Tho' slow to our wish the advance,
God rules the training of Man.

A VISTA
JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS
SAD heart, whit will the future bring
To happier men when we are gone?
What golden days shall dawn for them,
Transcending all we gaze upon?

Will our long strife be laid at rest,
The warfare of our blind desires
Be merged in a perpetual peace,
And love illume but harndess fires?

Shall faith released from forms that chain
And freeze the spirit while we pray,
Expect with calm and ardent eyes
The morning of deaths brighter day?

These things shall be!
A loftier- race
Than e'er the world hath known shall rise,
With flame of freedom in their souls
And light of science in their eyes.

. . . . . . . .
170 PEACE AND PATRIOTISM

They shall be gentle, brave, and strong,
To spill no drop of blood, but dare
All that may plant mans lordship firm
On earth and fire and sea and air.

Nation with nation, land with land,
