Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Meetings for Organization and First General Meeting, 1898: Together With the President's Address, and a List of Members This talk about ascent and descent is very much a play upon words. Strictly speaking, there is no up and down. Things go straight forward on their own lines, unless some outward force or inward weakness bends them from it. Although we are now told that what we call straight lines are in reality curved lines, respondent to some other force than the impulsive, and that the motions of the whole universe are a returning to its goal; so for us, there is no ascent nor descent except as towards or away from the moral truth in our natures, as in the universe; all Of which have their life and law in God. And the hope, the glory and joy of our career is to get back where we came from, richer in content, indeed, counting work as worth, having gained other talents, and bringing our sheaves with us; having justified our powers and possibilities by keeping faith with them under whatever tests. And what are these ideals of the soul, -these visions and longings which draw us to something seeming so deeply our own? Are they beckoninglights ahead? Or broken memories, or appointment and impulse given aforetime? How is it that this very before in place means behind in time? We march forward to get homeward. And the dream of returning is the song of the exiled soul. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
