“The world's a train at speeding rate...

By Theodore Harding Rand

“The world's a train at speeding rate;

An iron track its wheels await;

We're all on board — beyond is darkness,

For God is only a name for Fate.”

Thus mouths and blasphemes round about

An age in bondage to its doubt.

“Pray!” says the soul, and God, and Christ — and

Freedom affirm with a ringing shout

“Believe in God, believe in Me,”

Is freedom's voice like sounding sea,

Its grand AMEN from Him that liveth

And holds of this, and all worlds, the key.
