The Morning Star Makes No -Noise
in Its Rising
At no time is there anything more beautiful in
the heavens than the glory of the early dawn when
the waning moon, the morning star and the first rays
of the rising sun appear together in a clear sky.
All great developments of ideas come modestly
and silently to fruition without blare of trumpets or
pomp of praise.
To be' sensitive to inspirations and sensible to
modest endeavor, to encourage honest intention, to
further true patriotism in national, state and
city-wide advancement of the public good, is to help
the start and finish of great things.
